I've got a Hoover Concept One U4001-006 from around 1978 or 1979 that I picked up last Saturday off Gumtree. |

Cool, I had a green and white one just like that one. I found it at the goodwill for $8 in 2011. I was 10 at the time and I was excited. I loved using it and it worked great. Until one day in the summer of 2014 I was using it and it got louder and louder. It rose an octave every minute it was on. Then it started smoking and it smelled really bad and filled the whole room with smoke. It had died on me. It's been almost two years since then and I would like to get one again sometime. I like yours better than what I had, I like the red on it.

I wonder how it ended up in Australia? Maybe it belonged to John D. Rock's wife, when they moved to Melbourne from Lansing Michigan? He was manager of Oldsmobile in the 80's before being transferred to Holden. |
