That looks great Michael! I have a model 450 that's not exactly the same but similar, and it too cleaned up very nicely! It lives in my dad's family room, where it goes very nicely with some pieces in there.

Jeff tells me that it runs very well and sounds great. Since I don't know these things yet, I have to believe him!!! LOL I just got done using it at my home and it seemed to do a fine job. Thank you for helping me Jeff!!!! I appreciate it!!!

Michael, fantastic job!!! I know that you are going to just love having a "Servant" in your home!

Servant to the home... The Hoover

Michael's 700 did clean up really nice, and is in very good shape for 80 years old!

Whoever had this 700 took very good care of it, the agitator is original, as was the plug before I replaced the cord. It runs smooth and quiet, just the way it should. Its also got a fair amount of bristle left on the brush, so it can be used to clean. Michael's basement has berber carpet, which the 700 would do a good job cleaning.
I got a kick out of how Michael tore that 700 apart and polished it, very thorough he is!
Glad you like your 700 Michael, and glad I could help too!

How fun - you certainly brought Micheal into the fold very well, Jeff! Now you boys save some energy for that Dual 50!

Thank you Terry!! I do like it very much. You will have to come this way someday and use it!! Maybe while you are here you could visit your old hometown...LOL
