Well Hi all I stopped by an estate sale the other day and had to get this poor Hoover 63 -- it looked to be in good condition and was tucked away in the basement behind the heater...

and is a nice addition to the other Hoovers I have. I have passed on a few others that are similar as they were in such poor condition, but I have never seen this blue one... It works great and so well built.

Hi Brian,
That tool set is not correct, though you do have the correct blue slide-in converter for the side tool conversion. Those tools are probably a set from Model 27 (1945) or an early Model 28 (1945-6). The previous owner probably kept the set and got ahold of the correct converter for the later Model 63. Here's a picture of the cover of the Model 63 instruction manual. John is right - the tools were blue. If you have a hose that fits the converter, it will also accept those tools at the other end of the hose.

Thanks for that info. I do have a 28 so I guess I'll say they go with it. It is nice that they are interchangeable. |
