Re: Historic Repair or Replace?
back in the 70s my mum had a Hoover conquest cylinder vac that had a strange sort of cantilever handle that inevitably snapped off making the thing impossible to pick up with one hand .An8 inch length of old leather trouser belt pop riveted across the body of the machine [rather like that on an old Electrolux] made a new and much more durable handle thats still going strong even though the poor old thing is now bolted to the wall in the garage with a 15 foot hose attached and is only used for cleaning cars
