I heard from a birdie on my vacuum grapevine that a vac shop in Union City, Indiana had old vacs for sale. So, I ventured down there in F150 and retrieved a Hoover Special 425 and a Westinghouse upright (i've never owned a Westinghouse!). For 50 bucks i walked out with these two beauties, three aftermarket Hoover outer bag assemblies, and an NOS Royal 501 Hand Vac brushroll. Definitely worth the trip! The gentleman also had a NORCA upright and a NORCA Dustette, several model 26's and a Hoover Floor Washer.
