A lot of these lenses didn't survive.

Lens

www.a-1vacuum.com/shop/hoover-by-... Here's a NOS lens. I replaced mine a while back. Not the easiest thing in the world- it's basically held in place by two tiny recesses on the inside of the hood and you have to bend it VERY carefully to accomplish this. It's definitely worth replacing, though!

Any time! The 28 isn't the same without the lens!

I need to take a picture of my one. Someone painted it so it is textured. The other needs a new fan.
