I haven't mentioned this yet, as I was afraid I'd get a box of junk in the mail, but thanks to a heads from a friend, I was able to snag a Hoover model 105 for just $10! It was too far to drive so I convinced them to ship it. The photos weren't great, so I wasn't really sure what I was getting. I figured it would be worth the money just for parts if all else failed. Well, I got home yesterday and it was waiting on the porch. I opened it up and found a beautiful all-original model 105 except the bag. Even that turned out to be a genuine Hoover bag (from a 700) which was a VERY pleasant surprise since I thought it was aftermarket from the photos on Craigslist. The seller said it ran, but I haven't fired it up yet since I haven't had time to clean, inspect, and oil the motor first. Maybe today!

Indeed, it'll be quite nice after a bit of elbow grease. | ||
