It Beats - as It Sweeps - as It Cleans! 
Congrats! That looks great! You probably also have one of the few remaining new Hoover brush strips available. I remember about 10 years ago calling vacuum stores about brush strips and everyone kept saying how little vintage Hoover parts were left. I ended up buying a guy's entire stock out just to be careful lol.

I used the fishtank airline hose for my 150 bag indicator
Look in the archives...around 2018(?) There was a thread about replacing the cotton tape used for the bag holder spring Oh I wrapped the handle on mine in black electrical tape. I didn't want to, but it preserved the shape without the loss of the formed rubber | ||

Hi Patrick I see you're back on eBay.
Here's a link to the brush strips for your model 150 which you'll need a second set as this seller is selling 2 of the same brush strips rather than the set of the short a long stip. CLICK HERE TO GO TO 2011hoover700's LINK on eBay | ||

Thank you for that information about the Hoover 150. I wonder if that was the only time Hoover "sold" vacuums to their employees that way. I read somewhere that in order to be an employee at the Ford Motor Company you had to purchase and drive a new Model T. I reply: My dad worked for GM and they had a similar policy that employees were required to own a vehicle of corporation manufacture. It didn't have to be new but it did have to be GM. Handle: Looking at that deteriorated handle, I'm wondering whether that plastidip you can coat tool handles with wouldn't be a good option to seal and preserve it. | ||
