Hi, I’m looking to convert an old Hoover convertible to hepa bags , and also so I can use A or Y bags which are more readily available. Can anyone tell me exactly what parts I would need and where to get them? Thanks

They used to make a conversion bag to convert C bags machine to A bag machine. It was a new outer jacket, and complete fill tube assembly. We used to convert them all the time (20 years ago). You would most likely start with eBay to find the new bag assembly. I don't remember them coming in any color but white.

Ry,

It is very easy to convert these cleaners. The whole bottom fill apparatus (bellows and cone) can be removed. Then, a new bellows and top fill tube can be attached . This will enable you to use "A" bags. I have one or two of them. You still can find them on ebay, usually, under (vintage Hoover).

Best of luck.

If the machine was designed for C bags, then you shouldn't use type A with the new filltube. I tried it once and I tore the vinyl of the bag since there isn't enough room. One user used Y bags when he performed the modification.

c bags are still very plentifully available. both genuine and generic on ebay, and ANY vacuum shop will carry them.

They are, yes.

But, if you WANT to convert, you will need to get a bigger outer jacket to accommodate the A bag. That big bag, inflated, was not designed to fit in a bottom fill jacket.
Good luck.
