So it’s been like 4 months I haven’t got any new vacuums for my collection because I’ve been saving a lot of money but last Friday I donated 4 vacuums I don’t use anymore. I got rid my Shark 3 in 1 multivac, Eurekas Power Plus and Airspeed One, and a Dirt Devil Power Stick with wedge edge because the suction was weak and it started falling apart a bit. So I want to make room for nicer vacuums! So y’all will be amazed on what I got. I brought this on eBay last Thursday and I couldn’t pass it up at all.

This is a Hoover Convertible 1020 made around 1969 to 1971. I’ve always wanted one of these when I first saw it on a video that used to be on YouTube back in 2007. I was amazed that this vacuum was featured on the Brady Bunch where the housekeeper Alice Nelson uses. It’s in pretty good shape all it needs is a good clean up!

Serial number is 640775. Perhaps ‘70, ‘71?

Well I tested out the Convertible and it needs a new belt because I noticed it’s lose and the odd thing is the on off switch. When I plug it in and the switch is set on off the vacuum turns on. Anybody had that problem before? But the vacuum sounds really good.

Definitely not original but better than no plug!

Here’s the switch I removed. I even switched around the brown and black plugs and the vacuum still turns on by itself when I plug it in. I think I might need another switch.

We had one of those when I was a kid. I always thought that tan bag looked like a giant Band-Aid. Mom gave it to me when they updated to a Singer upright in the late '80s. I kept it for about 10 years and got rid of it when I moved in 1998.
About the switch. It sounds like it's got a short. You can tell for sure by putting an ohm meter on it and seeing if the circuit opens and closes as you move the switch. If it stays closed, you've got a dead short and need a new switch. | ||
