Shane,
Those are nice little cleaners. I had one in the late '80's - early '90's, the white colored one with the blue accents and bag with red lettering. I loaned it to a friend and that's the last I saw of it. I don't loan vacs to friends or family anymore. They don't appreciate or know how to maintain a vintage machine. They see v/c's as something that should work with little or no attention. I don't understand that reasoning. B. | ||

UUUGG! I could kick myself.
I receintly saw one in VERY good condition near a dumpster at a Senior Apartment center, with a bunch of other stuff. An elderly lady had passed, and the family was throwing out what was left after they took what they wanted, evidently. The machine had the book and all the attachments in a bag hanging on the handle. It looked to be in good condition because the paint was NOT chipped or pitted, and no bumps or bruises that i could tell from a short distance. I ignored my sense of GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN. Now im sorry i did. Hope someone grabbed it before the trash truck got there. | ||

Nice Finds Shane!
Congrats on getting not one, but two Lark 12's! Think you'll enjoy them when they arrive, they're a great little cleaner! I have a 12 myself, a gift from friend and fellow collector Norm Brown when he was downsizing his collection several years ago (Thanks again Norm!). Only wish I had the attachments and instruction book for it. Here's a pic of mine.

 Hey Shane,
Congrats on finding 2 Hoover Larks. I had one several years ago, and I had to replace the switch plate and ball also. A local vacuum shop that had been a Hoover-authorized repair center had a replacement ball/plate set. Hoover manufatured them in a plain white color. They are paintable. You might be lucky enough to find a dealer that can locate a ball for you (that doesn't sound good, does it?!)
Good luck! | ||
