This week had some amazing finds! First I found a thrashed oreck in the trash, other than a new motor it will turn out fine. Then I found a near perfect elite! No issues whatsoever! They also included a huge bag of parts, At least $30 worth! Half of the parts don’t even go to the elite. They must of had at least 3-4 vacs at least. Best of all I paid nothing for both!

Hey Jack.
That IS a good week in my book! That poor Oreck looks so sad. But, if you enjoy the cleaning up process, it should be a rewarding one. And, I now have two Hoovers with that style hood, and I'm too afraid of breaking the tabs to try taking them apart for cleaning and belt/brushroll/bulb replacement. I wish you luck with them! Post update pictures, if you can! Barry | ||

Thanks Barry!
Here’s some pictures! The elite is very clean and loud but it cleans great! The oreck is incomplete, it needs a new motor but it looks nice. It also needed some duck tape. The oreck also had a burn on the outer bag, cigarette maybe? I was also wondering if the elite was a Kmart or sears special? I’ve never seen one in blue.
