Hi, Rick!
What a great picture! I wish my parents had gotten some pictures of me as a child, using one of our vacuums. But, they weren't really big "picture people". I so hope you're able to find a nice example of that Convertible. What color is it? I don't think I've ever seen a Convertible in a color like that. Unless it's just my crummy old phone. It looks like sort of a dark olive green on my screen. Again, best of luck in your quest! Barry | ||

Possible help I have found many convertibles on fb marketplace. And check outside your search radius. Never know what you might find. Nice pic | ||

Great picture, I wish my family took pictures like that but being the youngest of 3, the thrill of pictures wore out for my time.
I'm in NC too, Raleigh area, so I'll keep my eye out; especially in thrift/re-stores. I've never seen that model/color scheme before, very interesting. My grandma had the U4047 in the lighter orange, I played with that all the time. Happy Hunting. | ||

A little history on this model…
The model U4017 was a bottom of the line promotional model for Ace Hardware stores. It had a very similar model, the U4065 that was also a bottom of the line promotional model. These models were an interesting homologation of a couple different machines including a similar bag and handle grip to the model 1076. I have one in my collection that I restored, but I’m not parting with it at this time, but I wanted to share some ads and spec sheets of this model and included some pics of mine at the end.
