I had such a wonderful time meeting a fellow collector and friend John Gregory just had to share some of the neat photos of his beautiful shop. John is such a sweetheart and helped me with my vintage Hoover by adding a light, new rebuilt brush roll, and new old stock upper bearing. John has such a wonderful knowledge of the Hoover history and his own story is incredible how he started repairing Hoovers as a young boy and now owes a thriving business being one of the last Hoover Dealers anywhere. Also thank you John for being so kind and gifting me the beautiful Hoover model 28 for my collection I will cherish it always. Fyi If you ever want a good servicing John is your guy he brings any machine back to factory quality.

I had an opportunity to visit John's store several years ago when I was doing a motor tour of the northeast with my sister. We were both enthralled with his collection and stories of repairs. My sister is a twin so we bought each other a birthday gift that was a Hoover cordless stick vac that was remarkable.
If you are ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in! John is a wonderful host and a wealth of Hoover information. And his collection is something to behold. | ||

John did a great job in building a brushroll for my Hoover Citation! He is so knowledgeable and generous to a fault. The photos of the store look beautiful! | ||

Can't wait to visit John's Sweeper Central. I'm going to take my Hoover Senior (1910) with me. I'll get lots of pictures. This pic is John in his store.

where is Dunmore? Where is the possible mini meet going to be held? I can't drive because of a visual impairment but sounds like fun, perhaps I can get there another way such as the train. Mike | ||

We are putting it all together now. Hope Greg and the New York guys can all get together at John Gregory's shop when we get there. What a good time and we won't have to pull the vacuums out of heaps in unused rooms with cobwebs ready to swoop down. Greg and I are working out all the details now.

I can't wait to go. Now that I have an employee, I can take time off for traveling. And this is the year to go see John Gregory, the Hoover guru. I have so many questions for him. John said we could drive around some nearby towns and he'll show us the sights. All the dilapidated "mansions". I'll get some pictures when we stop at a stop sign.
