LOL drag-around tragedies have been jokes with my friends for a while now! I love it!

Okay, I got my Hoover Connie today and I couldn't be happier!!

But now I have even more questions! lol

Is there I way I can find a replacement for the stopper on the inner part of the lid. You know, the part that goes around the opening for the hose?

Also, how do I access what appears to be a filter on the bottom "cradle" part?

What the heck does the little beaded chain do that is located on the outer part of the vacuum bag shield?

Once I replace the motor filter and get her a little cleaned up, I'm going to give her a test run. How exciting, now my Hoover Celebrity has a playmate!

"a replacement for the stopper on the inner part of the lid. You know, the part that goes around the opening for the hose?"

Are you talking about the foam gasket that makes a seal between the hose and the bag? If so, I have an extra one of those, as well.. I can send it along with filters.

I've never been able to get that other "filter" (probably moreso a muffler) out of the bottom of the machine.

The beaded chain just keeps the top portion of the machine from opening all the way. Sort of holds it open. They discontinued that on the next model, I do believe.

That's it!

That would be awesome if I could get one of those gaskets as well! The one I have is a bit crumbly and dry.

I knew that little ball chain served a purpose, I just couldn't figure out what.

btw, unless you have a good filter over the motor, i wouldnt run the machine too much until you get the bag gasket fred is gonna send you. otherwise dirt could get into the motor, which would mean death (for the Hoover). David
