Many thanks for posting this Bernie - what a great reference tool! I've saved it to add to my collection of Hoover paper ephemera. ~ CRL |

That's just wonderful, Bernie, thanks for posting it! I'll order the toolkit, the power-cord (with plug), a new brush-roll and a bag - actually make that 5 bags, and I'll put a few away as spares... If only! :) |

I don't think many on the forum would be old enough to have ordered from a 1924 parts catalogue anyway! |

you can see why I wasn't expecting much! I thought it would need stripping down and re-spraying, not just a wipe with a duster! |

...it's all too true..... That's a very nice 541 you have there. I noticed that on some of the early models, the base appears to be a rougher sand casting, on others, a more polished look. Maybe it has something to do with production years? I'm looking for a black twisted cloth cord for mine, to make it look more original. Its rubber replacement cord is so old now that it is deteriorating. Had to dig it out though. It was dusty as could be and not real pretty. It's not been run in several years. With a little electricity (carefully applied) zzzzzzzzzzzzz and Voila! This is model #5680336. What is the production number on yours? |

..Jack, that is in fact a 543 bag on my 541. I'd really like to have an original for it, but it doesn't hurt to dream. I do have a 543 with the very same bag though, so I'll take it to be original. Thanks for the tip. The 543 has a cloth covered cord but not the twisted type. I don't know if it's original. You're spot-on about the rarety of original bags. I've been collecting since 1982, when original spares were much more available. You have a grand collection from what I have seen. You made out well; your 541 being a diamond in the rough. |

My 541 looks a little different. It was rebuilt (by Hoover, I assume) in 1929, and either then or at a later date the original motor hood was replaced by one with a built-in headlight. I have also polished it since this picture ws taken. Unfortunately the bag on mine is a generic replacement. I also have a set of tools and instruction book. By the way Bernie, is that a Royal I see hiding out behind your 541?? Jeff |

There are still quite a few 541's around. Right now there's one on ebay, and I have seen them on there frequently. Probably because there were so many produced. But as Jack said, it's unfortunate that you seldom find one with the original switch. Mine has the more common brown bakelite toggle switch on it. Yours and Jack's are beautiful machines! As for the Royal, I'd loveto see pictures of it sometime! Jeff |
