My Hoover Model 543 needs an attachment... 		[Down to Last]
Post# 469247   2/4/2024 at 17:59 (413 days old) by Heinzelmann (Germany)        

Dear fellow collectors,
I was lucky enough to find and buy an antique Hoover Model 543 (the model 700s not-so-fancy sister) from the late 1920s in a not to distant town from my home.
Living in Germany, pre-war Hoovers are few and far between here, so I consider myself blessed! It even has its signature plate written in german.
I will gladly post photos, if somebody is interested.

To complete my Hoover I also bought what I thought was a matching Dusting Tools Kit from the UK, only to find out that the hose connecting attachment didn´t fit my 543.
What I didn´t know then was that there are several different versions of the tools.
Browsing the internet, I now believe that I am looking for the adapter also fitting model 700. I´ll attach some depictions below.

Now...

... is there someone amongst you in possession of such a connector and willing to sell and ship it to me? I´d be so happy!

Thanks for reading through my ramblings and please excuse my english since it is not my native language.

Sebastian from Cologne, Germany

Welcome!

A German 543... wow
543s are quite rare anyway, given that the beater bar often proved to overload the motor.

I would love to see pictures!

I do not have a hose connector like that but if no one else replies, I might be able to source one. I do not mind shipping overseas.

Thank you!

 Thank you Hoover300 for the welcome and your nice offer!

I plan to upload a couple of photos of my Hoover today.
It is still in its dirty as-found condition and even has original dust in the bag from who knows when ;)... and it looks like a family of mice have taste tested the cord (luckily a modern replacement anyway).
I will start to take it apart and restore it over the coming week(s).

@ Hoover300

 Hi!

Since noone else has replied so far,
I´d like to ask if you could try to find
the mentioned hose connector for me?
I´d be very grateful!

Cheers, Sebastian

P.S. The part number seems to be 3782, according to the model 543 manual scan I found online...

Wow!! I have never, EVER seen a Hoover with info printed in another language! You have something very special!!

I will see what I can do for a hose coupler. Might take a bit but I will ask around in the Facebook groups, someone should have one to sell me.

@ Dysonman1

 Hi there and thanks for your reply!

Yes, that seems to be exactly the part I am looking for!
Is it yours and would you be willing to sell it to me (please know that I live in Germany and would have to ask you to ship it here)?

Thanks a lot,

Sebastian

I have the entire attachment set still new in the box. Yes, I would be willing to sell you the converter.

@ Dysonman1

 Great!

Can you please send me an email
and perhaps tell me your asking price and the estimated shipping cost as far as you know.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Wow!
Gratuliere zu dem wirklich außergewöhnlichen Exemplar! Interessant dass es schon damals wohl doch einen Markt für diese Geräte in Deutschland gegeben hat, wenn es offensichtlich welche mit deutschsprachiger Plakette gab.
Gut aufbewahren!!!

Thanks

 ..for your interest, Gottahaveahoove!

@ heinzelmann-hh: Ich wusste auch nichts davon, bevor ich den Sauger in Händen hielt.
Aber auf der Motorplakette ist als Hersteller die Hoover GmbH, Berlin angegeben.

Ja, manchmal fliegen einem die Dinge unverhofft zu.

Wie es der Zufall will, bin ich gerade jetzt zu einem Hoover 700 in deutscher Ausführung gekommen. Bin gerade dabei, ihn wieder aufzumöbeln. Leider ist der Original-Stoßfänger nicht mehr dran und die Abdeckung über dem Riemen fehlt auch. - Den will mir aber freundlicherweise der "Hoover 300" schicken.

Ist dein Modell 543 eigentlich auch für 110 V ausgelegt? Meiner ja. Eigentlich kein Problem mit einem Trafo.

Hast du eigentlich den Adapter für den Schlauch schon bekommen und passt er?

Ich muss mich auch mal drum kümmern, das Zubehör zu besorgen.

 Hallo!
Mein 543 ist für 210 Volt und 50-60 Hz ausgelegt.
Ja, der Adapter ist längst da und passt,
der Sauger ist fertig und funktioniert einwandfrei.
Und Hoover300 ist ein zuverlässiger und selbstloser Sammlerkollege!
Für Zubehör (Dusting Tools) kannst Du ja mal mit Dysonman1 (siehe Thread oben) in Kontakt treten,
der hat wohl mehrere komplette Sets, die er auch so verkaufen möchte.

@Heinzelmann

Dann kannst du ja jetzt mit dem neuen/alten Hoover jeden Winkel deiner Wohnung reinigen. :-)

Bei mir dauert es noch, weil ich in meiner Raffgier das Angebot von Kieran angenommen habe, mir einen Hoover 800 zu besorgen und fertig zu machen. Der ist jetzt soweit (auf den Bildern, die er mir geschickt hat sieht er genial aus) und kann demnächst verschickt werden - zusammen mit der Riemenabeckung für meinen 700er.

Danke auch für den Tipp mit dem Dysonman. Ich werde ihn mal fragen, ob er noch ein Tool Set zu verkaufen hat.

Schöne Grüße aus Hamburg
Torsten
