How much would postage to Winchester be for the Turbo 2?

So I was checking the Hoover website, just out of mild curiosity to see whether they stocked genuine parts for older cleaners, when I had a look at some of the current uprights they have on sale, I was pretty shocked to see that the glorified purepower, the Enigma, had a Quadruple A rating! I...

It must be an intrinsic part of human nature to cause conflict! As a Sci Fi Fan I'm also constantly caught up in bickering about how bad the Star Wars prequels are, or why Colin Baker is an awful Doctor (He's not imo, my favourite) but I'm surprised there's this much antagonising behaviour...

This one's only 15 quid, and it's in decent condition... http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/114354987/vintage-vacuum-cleaner-for-sale.html?link=%2Fadverts%2Flist%3Fkeyword%3Dvintage%2Bhoover

Thank you! It is a pain finding a 1224 in decent condition, I'm sure you'll find one eventually, I'm still holding out for some of my dream vacuums, such as a Hoover u4003, Hoover Concept One Powerdrive, any Turbomaster and a Hoover Convertible (Dial-a-matic)

Here's a comparison between my converted Omega and James' genuine 240 volt Omega. Mines the one on the left.

The Brushroll is original, the end caps are different on later models and on genuine replacements, and the belts look old enough, and brittle enough, to be original- I could certainly be wrong about that though. But jfalberti guessed correctly about the major abnormality of this Kirby; it has a...

Beautiful Kirby! I have a 560 that I imported from the USA! It looks and works like a champion!

I believe it's the shorter one.

So i visited my friend James on Monday and brought a Hoover Convertible model 69 from him, the problem is it doesn't have the original bag, handle or cord. The motor has been converted to take 240 volts (I assume it's been replaced with a Senior motor) and a switch has been drilled onto the...

Funnily enough the brushroll and belt are original, you can tell by the end caps on the brushroll! So far no one's guessed the major difference...

No it doesn't. It's one of the earlier Classic Omegas, meaning it has the gold bag, the logo patch says classic Omega, from 1973-1974 the Classic Omega had that style of bag,

Yep, two things, Ben's guessed one of them! Can you guess the other?

Vacerator... Ahh, but it's not a 120 volt motor!

Yes, Ben, the plug is made for appliances on 240 volts!
