Good show, I was hoping to be up before 8a.m. and hit a couple of church rummage sales but alas I was a little late getting up and out the house at 1030. No vacuum related stuff at all or possibly gone. |

Of all my Hoovers, I think the 62 is my favorite. We had one given to us by my mother's aunt and it was later given to my grandmother. I have a beautiful 62 now which was lovingly worked on and got a new cord from Roger two years ago. I found two at a sale and he took the best of both and made a great cleaner - just finished using it tonight! Great finds, all - don't you just love flea markets? |

Tom, I too, am with Charles, the Kirby tools are to die for! Wishing I had the pre 50's Kirby to use them on! Love to see any pics in the booklet! Norm |

I did not realize that the Kirby tools would be so interesting. Does anyone want to trade something Hoover for the Kirby tools? Otherwise, I guess I should ebay them??? --Tom |

I think ebaying them would fetch you a fair bit of money, but before you do anything, please scan the paperwork! Some nice closeups of the tools would also be great. |

Tom I would be interested in buying the Kirby tools from you if you are interested in selling them. I have a near mint Kirby (except the bag) that these belong to. Let me know. Thanks! Louis |

Hey Tom, I've seen attachments go for more than machines more often than not, especially for such a rare machine. You might be able to put Glenn through his first year of college from what you might get on ebay! Rick |

Alright Charles, big question for ya. How did you manage to get the belt lifter cap thing on a model 1c. It looks like a very cool upgrade. |

p.p.s. - the tan (Sirocco) wands in the box are obviously from a later model -- either the 561, Sanitronic VII or Dual 50, all of which had this color of attachments. |

Yeah, I know it's not correct. I just didn't expect it to fit a 1c, and I thought a bit of work might have been required to make if fit right. |

SHOULD read, "either the 562, Sanitronic VII or Dual 50" |
