Once again

Beautiful job, lovely example of a 700 with original bag.

Congrats.

So beautiful. Excellent restoration

Super interesting switch. I wonder if they used two different ones through the 700 range. My 700s had this one. Sorry for horrible Pic this one is very old

A little video of it. I couldn’t be more pleased. This is up there with the 65 Convertible as a favorite.

Another beauty in your stable! It makes me wish I had kept my old Hoovers.

My model 700 also has the stamped-out H switch like brando_husky's one. You wouldn't believe how delicate and fragile they are, it wouldn't take much to snap it off completely. Maybe the one that is on Kyle's vac was a later revision to the design of the switch? I also have a 1960's rebuilt 700 that has the light switch style toggle.

My 700

Is a very early model. I believe they swapped to your style switches later.
Also this is not the only 700 I have with this switch.

Later models also had a patent script below the bag. Mine does not.

Interesting. Do you think they changed the badge as well? I've had a 700 with orange badge and one with black

I'm just getting started on a model 700 restoration and could use some advice. What did you use to polish the aluminum with? I've cleaned the grit off it, but it still has a dull, flat look.
Also where did u get the bag? I just bought one off e bay but it's an aftermarket one, probably from the 50s judging by the script.
