My Hoover Model 29 finally got here and I've done a little cleaning on it. It has the original bag but it has one or two pinholes at the bottom and I have an iron-on patch to fix that with. It sounds like its brand new. The handle has a slight lean to it and I know that that's a common problem with the 60 series but I was wondering if there was a good way to fix it. The pic is the one from eBay, I will post the actual ones soon.

The New Genuine Hoover Replacement Cord Strain Relief
Again, thanks to one of my best friends Jonathon, my model 29 is another step closer to completion. After 20 minutes and dropping the F-bomb a few times Lol, I managed to get the cord restraint into place, i also now have a 32" red Kirby cord (another very generous gift) to use on this cleaner making it much more functional. Next part of the project is probably tackling where the handle pivots as it sits slightly crooked in the upright position. Again Jonathon, I can't possibly thank you enough for all you've done😙

Austin
No thanks needed! I enjoy our friendship tremendously, and helping you make your 29 a daily driver is the least I can do! I know the cord/switch debacle was maddening! Let me know when you're ready to change the handle control bolt and I'll walk you through it. Much easier than it sounds! Trust me! You do an amazing job restoring your cleaners by the way! Excellent attention to detail! Looking forward to speaking with you soon! 😊 Also, thank you for everything you've done for me! Means more than you know!

Cord Strain Relief
You're gonna laugh, but I used Astro-Glide and flat head/blade screw driver to guide it into place then threaded the new cord through it and tied a knot in the cord behind the strain relief for some extra strength. I can't take credit for all that though, that idea is from Jonathon Radesky (HooverBoi81). He always has lots of little tricks to make things like that easier 😃
