Fantastic! Congrats! I, too, have that model Hoover Spirit... and that Dimension 1000. Love both of them. Those are most amazing powerheads. :-) And YAY for retail therapy! ~Fred | ||

Is it easy to replace the wheels on the spirit and dimension? | ||

Yup, should be. Usually you can just pry the old ones out with a tiny screwdriver... on the Spirit. Don't remember the Dimension, but I think it's somewhat similar. | ||

Wow! Good for you Logan, you did very well! I had a similar experience a few weeks ago when I visited a vac shop that I had never been to before and got some really rare machines. Once I get them cleaned up and pics taken I'll post them. You got some real keepers there, and keep them all intact! | ||

Well done, Logan!!
Fine examples all and look to be in terrific cosmetic condition. You're going to have some wonderful fun spiffing them up one by one. A mini motherload - as I looked at the pictures I just kep saying 'oh, and there's a...' I notice how the black cat heads towards the turquoise Compact Twins. :-) He knows a thing or two...what's his/her name? | ||

Cat I have two cats and they are brother and sister. They are gray/black tabby colored. The girl is named "Pickles" and the male is named "Cotton Motorboat" but I just call him "Motorboat." They are my babys! | ||

Thanks for the kind comments Mark. LOL it was funny when I found that Lux Model R. The original handle had broken off, so someone cut a leather belt and screwed it to the top off the machine. hahaha. I guess whatever works! | ||

Congrats on the jackpot! I'm jealous about the model R, yours looks pretty good. I guess I should visit more vac shops. :) Nicholas | ||
