Hoover Speial Model 700
And this is the Hoover Special that my neighbor gave me that I told you about in thread #3533. I do have the original bag for it, but put this genuine Hoover replacement bag on it for time being until the original bag is repaired. I did clean it up some before these pics were taken, still more work to be done! Jeff

Five From My Cousin!
These are the ones that were in a house my cousin was cleaning out for a friend whose Grandfather had passed away. They are, from left to right, Hoover Convertible model U4005, Royal model 602 75th Anniversary Edition, Kirby Classic III (with a Heritage? bag), Electro-Hygiene 890 (with a Royal bag), and Sanitaire Heavy Duty model S663, 25th Anniversary model. They all run great except that the Kirby seems to have a bearing going out. The bags on the Hoover and Sanitaire were packed so full that I changed bags before I even tried them out!! Other than that, I hadn't done anything with them yet when the photo was taken. Jeff

Last But Not Least
Is a Kirby 517 with attachments, polisher, and instruction book and a Hoover Concept One with attachments and instruction book that were given to me from a friend I used to work with. The Kirby is missing the upper cord hook but has a genuine Kirby conversion bag that takes Eureka F & G bags. It seems to be a bit loud, possibly a bearing on the way out? Otherwise it runs great. The Concept One has a non-working cord winder but otherwise seems to run pretty good, and features the quadriflex agitator. Jeff

Jeff What great additions to your collection. See they really do start coming to you, don't they! Remember, I found the carpet shampoo attachs and box for the Dual 50, remind me the next time we see each other. Norm | ||

That first picture of them all lined up, I dunno why but them being faded and dirty adds something..I don't know what it is. | ||

Update
Well, I've got some good news, especially about the Kirby Classic III. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions--the noise it was making wasn't bearing noise after all, but brush and belt issues! Just for the heck of it, I turned it on with the belt lifter in the "off" position, and NO NOISE!! Then I took the nozzle off, took the brushroll out and turning it by hand found out it was binding a little. I cleaned it up, gave the ends a shot of Liquid Wrench, and soon it was spinning freely. Then I put it back in and installed a new belt and now it runs the way it should--and is one of the QUIETEST Kirbys I've ever seen!! Also have cleaned up and polished the 966 Electro-Hygiene tank and the 602 Royal. They both look much better. And I have a genuine Electro-Hygiene bag on the way for the 890, so I guess I better get that one polished up next! Jeff | ||
