This is a followup to my posting about finding a Hoover 918. See link below to the archived thread.

As you can see, it is complete and all-original but rather dusty and dirty. And the bag -- which is original, no? -- has a small hole near the bottom. And the bottom is quite rusty, which would indicate it was stored in a wet or humid area, or got flooded.

It does run perfectly, even the light bulb still works! Just needs some TLC and it will look like new again. The hardest part will be dealing with the rust on the bottom.

The last two photos show it stored in a closet at my church where it well may be kept, were it to belong there. Wouldn't it be fun to go snooping around in a church, look in a closet, and find a Hoover 918 and an old commercial Johnson Wax polisher?!
