Which Hoover is worth restoring the 105, 725 or 800? If more than 1 is worthy of restoring, which order should they be done in??? OR maybe none of them are worth the effort to restore??

I have "0" knowledge about Hoovers, thus why I am asking for some guidance!

1. I believe it is missing a part from the underside.
2. Definitely missing a wheel and brush roll, cloth bag
3. Possibly missing something from the rear of the vac as there is a stray curved piece of metal not doing anything.
4. The handle could possibly not be the correct for the machine
5. And I am sure it has other issues.

Mike, give me a call sometime and I'll tell you anything you want to know about these. The short answer is that the 800 is probably the one I'd choose to restore, followed by the 105 (the handle is correct but it's missing several pieces which may be hard to find). The 725 is common, though still worth saving.

The 800 is probably the most beautiful Hoover the company ever produced, next to the 150. The 800 would get my vote.
