And here it is The convertible cleaned up and running like a top. I did find one bag of C bags at an old vacuum shop. I guess I lucked out. The roller brush is like new. I love the purr of the motor. What do you guys think of these C bags? It seems like all the dirt and dust will slide back...

Can you believe....... that I pulled all of this junk out of the vacuum tube of this convertible. I jammed full all the way to the fan. It's amazing that it didn't burn up. I had to use a wire coat hanger and my shop vac to pull all of this junk out. It was mostly white carpet fuzz, but it even...

I love mine! I have several choices of vacuums. I do prefer the oreck for weekly cleaning. Occasionally I will drag out my Electrolux Golden J with powernozzle to really deep clean, but I do feel the Oreck does a good job. I don't really know why people don't like them. For my hardwoods and...

Really Dirty! I am working this weekend to try and get this machine clean. You wouldn't believe the hair, string, yarn that was wound around the brush and the impeller fan spindle. I will post pictures. BTW I am still looking for bags. Does anyone know if a Eureka F/G bags will fit this Hoover...

I have recently used a Sanitaire/Eureka Blue Line upright. It's the classic Eureka style vac with a headlight. There are no frills, bells, or whistles on it, but boy does it clean. It has 840 watts. It has to be one of the best cleaning modern machines out there. I am so glad the Eureka did not...

I have noticed in a lot of threads that a Suds Saver feature has been mentioned. I have never seen one of these. What is it? How did it work? Are they available today? Tim

your pic, toggle? Let's see a close up of you toggle. I really like Greg and Bobby. Boy you were in heaven weren't you ? Tim

Where do you buy new fans and brush rolls? Prices? What do you reccommend for greasing it? Tim

Oh Toggle I never thought you were a three way bulb, but I bet that would be fun. I wish we had Wash ins down here in the south. Toggle I would love to see more pics of you. Tim

Runs great, BUT it sure isn't a quiet machine. I didn't realize how noisy these plastic models were. Does anyone else think this, or is it just this machine. Tim

???? Would sure like to spend some time with Greg and Toggle. TIm

Bag Searching I went out searching for bags tonight. I couldn't find any Hoover style C, but I found plenty of Eureka F&G bags. Will they work? If not, I guess I'll have to head downtown to the vac shop. The vac is really in good shape. It is not nearly as quiet as I remember Convertibles...

this old convertible. Does anyone know what year? Pretty good machine? Tim

NiceGuy Thanks so much Marty. You are truly a great guy. Tim

Really nice folks! I have had so much help from all of you nice folks. Three people have agreed to help me find these. Still looking, but hopefully closer to finding them. Thanks again, Tim

Thanks, Marty for looking for them. Just keep an eye out for them if you don't mind. I found out about a man who rebuilds old vacuums about 10 minutes from my house. I am going to check with him next week.

Green Hoover The green Hoover Convertible has an opening on the side of the hood. What is that for? Is it for attachments? Tim P.S. A great collection. I would also like to see the w/d in action.

Marty If you talk to Victor, ask him if he will keep an eye out for the attachments I need.Thanks, Tim

Thanks, Marty. I would appreciate any help finding these things. Yes, I know Victor. He's a very nice guy. I like old FQ, but am growing tired of them. Victor is very knowledgable on vacuums. He has sooo much info on them. What is your favorite kind? Do you have any pictures that you could post...

Yeah, Tom I have used the upholstery tool to vacuum my tile,but since I don't have the other curved wand it makes it kind awkward to use. I have checked all of the stores around here for one. Maybe one day soon I'll have one. Tim
