They're both working and in good shape, both have been stripped and thoroughly cleaned. Please note,I'm only shipping to the UK. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/1970s-Hoover-PortaPower-Refurbished-/263322255646 https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Refurbished-Hoover-Turbolite-/263320805600

The Finale ~ Posing with her younger sister, the 1993 Lux Turbo 2 Z1070l. I will also try and get an after video eventually.

After ~ All reassembled with a nice new coat of wax, new bag & filter.

The next day ~ After removing as many marks as I could with rubbing alcohol, I decided to go the extra mile and add a new coat of clear coat to the hood, handle and body.

pic #1 - Motor finished. Pic #2 - Drying time! Pic #3 & 4 - Brush roll before and half and half.

@dysonman1 Never knew the US had them. The one you posted a picture of was our 500 series.

pic #1 - Brushes are a little low, but still have plenty of life in the still. pic 2# - Unfortunately this is as far as you can strip a lux motor as they crimped the fans on thus not being able to remove them. pic #3 - Commy in very lovely condition, only ever so light bar burning on a few...

Wishy~Washy! Still ;) While the parts were enjoying their 'Fairy Apple Orchard' bath, I decided to get to work on the motor.

pic #1 - Something you don't see very often, brown wheels. pic #2 - Why Electrolux, why did you think this was a brilliant idea? pic #3 - Rating sticker 036 = decade - 90's, so 0 = 1990 and 36 = week, So 36th week of 1990 :)

Something different, this ones bellows are connected with a cable tie, whereas the Z1070 had 'removable' bellows which were held onto the sole plate by a sliding clip, thus giving the user more access/ easier access to clear blockages. Also, very worn brush strips vs new ones.

Going to skip over a bit here, just the usual tear down.

Now that she's at her new home, let the resto commence! To my very surprise, there's a damn air freshener left in! At least it doesn't smell horrid like a Turbopower 2 'air freshener' I found once! And still its genuine filters and original bag clip.
