Caught sight of an old Hoover bag cleaner today at a thrift shop. Don't see these every day. Appears to be a model 750 motor unit.

Didn't have the means to transport it. A camaro doesn't have much trunk space. And it had to weigh at least 100 pounds with the base. I doubt it's going anywhere fast. Surely nobody walking in will have any clue what it is.

TRY to get it! Bring tools with you to break it down-IE take the unit off the base so it can be moved in a small car.I would think these devices would be useful to a vac collector-not only as an unsual item-but the help clean dump bags from older vacuums.And some janitorial vac maintenance shops would like these since some vacs used in commercial use have dump bags.If one of those was presented to me-I would get it!The bag cleaner "head" could also be mounted to a workbench.

Haha I may some day. I live in a 3rd floor apartment pretty full of computers, audio equip and other stuff. Don't really have any room to ever store this nor much use for one.

Road trip to Nebraska? lolol
I'll drive.
Wouldn't some think we were crazy, brain damaged to make this fuss over a bag cleaner/ A local Hoover dealer, now deceased, had one. He told me he got rid of it because it no longer worked. I was 16...what did I know?

If I could find a place to store it I would pick it up and hold it for someone who might be interested

What's something like this possibly worth? Never seen one go for sale. Honestly with my small collection don't have much functioning use for it. I'd keep it if only I had a house with more storage space. My room is fairly full with my vacuums, desk, computer, piano guitar and banjo. Living room is full of computer equipment like servers and such and audio equipment and furniture so no room there

If you list it on eBay and the right people see it, you may very well get a High Dollar return on it. I sold a second one I had back in 2008 and it went for around $500 IIRC. It did not have a base; it was mounted onto the corner of a work table.

That was from Popular Mechanics magazine. They occasionally did features about vacuum cleaners, including this one:
