I just picked up a mint Hoover 1060. Not a scratch on it. I just have one question, How does the height adjustment work on this? | ||

Not from what I can tell. There is a bag in it. When I flip it over there isn't any lint or dirt in the brush roll | ||

I tipped it back and let it run. The belt is so dry I took it out before and it just hummed... Such a sweet sound. | ||

Congratulations you beat me to it by an hour. I'm glad it went to a good home. I was worried someone would beat it up as a commercial machine. Nicholas | ||
