STOP PUSHING!! Hoover Dial-A-Matic Powerdrive

1970 Dial-A-Matic with powerdrive, model 1176. This was the second powerdrive model, in persian gold and seal griege light, medium and deep. The early models had some seriously spastic powerdrive, as evidenced by the one-finger back and forth. This model also featured the headlight and lighted bag check indicator. I hadn’t run this in a long time, it was a trip!!

  1. Is this the one that your mom used to have??? I remeber that you told me at one time you trader her one of these for the model 33.

    Or am I just wrong?

  2. Cool video of a Dial-A-Matic, I hear it’s called the Dynamatic in Australia. Speaking of which, have you seen that video of the Hoover collector speaking in Australia for the Hoover 100th anniversary there? It’s pretty cool and I was wondering if he was one of your friends.

  3. I have two Swingettes, and a Commercial portapower. I’ve never been much of a canister person, so my collection of those is kinda small. I think I have two suitcase Portables and one Slimline with a cord reel too. They are ok, but I’m more into uprights.
