I have 3 of them.
I can't pinpoint the EXACT dates, but... circa 1974. It was a quality cleaner... top of the line. You got a great deal. It isn't "normal" for it to sink and lift like that. Maybe it's the carpet?? They made 4 machines in that "style" bag. ...different hoods, different colors in those bags, but same design. Nice find. | ||

F&G bags
If it has the more narrow and smaller outer bag, the F&G bags may not work. I've tried that before, and the small inner space can pinch off the fill tube, not allowing debris to get into the main part of the bag. At some point, Hoover enlarged the outer bag (while still using Type C inserts). I've heard that with the larger outer bag that F&G bags will work. You got a great bargain!

I need discipline
But that's for another thread, or site..... Your machine has that difference that would have caused me to buy it had I found it first. I'll have to check out the Oslo Road location, maybe they have other things that I've been seeking for years. And yes, I've found some things of various descriptions in the past three years that have tickled my fancy. At the moment, I have to be really careful, I'm going to be dispersing an estate, with nothing of value to me, except two old cats and a cat with a brain problem. | ||
