James. Hi mate, I didn't realise you lived so close. I knew you were around the Derby area, have done for a while, but getting married and moving from Sutton in Ashfield, to Bingham, has taken up a whole lot of my time, and my intentions to make myself known have fallen by the wayside! :D I...

Here we go again. Guys and Gals <br IT seems that the purpose of this thread has been forgotten in the mud slinging which once again seems to have got out of hand. I am not about to take sides with either argument, I can see the points boths sides are making. Surely however, this would be far...

2336 Hi Jack, Congrats on the U2336. I have one in my parents loft. It is working, but has seen a long working life and it shows it so well! LOL It is very rare to find a turbo of that vintage in such amazing condition. I have 19/06/08 tattooed on the inside of my eyelids. I would not miss...

Happy birthday Hoover ! o/ Jack, <br Perfect thread to keep my mind occupied whilst at work today <br With any luck, given the fact that my cheque has cleared, and the date it cleared, I hope that the U4082 arrives today as a perfect accompanyment to the Centenary celebrations <br I hope...

Dyson DC03. Guy's. In my humble opinion, the DC03 is the most overlooked of all the dyson machines. If you want a lightweight, reasonabley efficient, reasonabley quiet and reliable machine. It also has the benefit of being the slimmest of all the Dyson machines. Cleaning underneath the...

Beautiful work Jack. Jack, You beat me to getting my old black stripe 375 restored, by miles! :D LOL. Mine is a pre war model, as the serial number has no prefix letter. Pretty high number however, so perhaps not the oldest. Yours looks outstanding. A work of art as always from the Vintage...

Second carbon brush. Hi, The second motor brush is located underneath the black bakealite cover shown on the last pic, has the white lead going into it, just near the handle bail. You should need to remove the small round headed screw holding this cover on and this will expose the carbon brush...

Email. Jack, Thanks for the email mate, I got that last night. The 375 has not yet been fired up to see how she sounds, although the motor spins freely by hand and does not have any discernable play in the wrong places. The bag is original as is the flex, but the bag has split around the...

U1222??? Rob, Are you sure that the Black TP softbag junior is the U1222? I thought that was the U1220? I have a U1222 and this has the headlight, and is in the Carmargue grey, EB exclusive I beleive! Correct me if I am wrong however! :D LOL Happy hoovering all, Clark.

G4/G5, e.t.c. Hi Jack. Nicely traded on the kirby's there! I would love one of the later ones but my G4 will have to manage for now. Well, it was expensive y'know. £10 is a lot of money!!! LOL. I will have to speak to Seamus over the weekend then, but I am sure his lips will remain sealed...

Missing Link? Jack, my friend. How are you? I like the additions to your website. As always, the work of art simply gets better and better. (Must work on mine soon). I am going to hazard a wild wild guess at the missing link? Have you, you lucky indiviual secured for yourself a model 12 or 14...

Best UK product. Guys and Gals, The best product I have found UK side for bring plastics back without too much hassle is T-CUT car restoration polish. It is brilliant at bringing up the shine and glimmer of new plastic, even on some of the oldest machines I have dealt with. One thing you do...

Nice one! Hey Seamus, Nice one with the Galaxy dude. I take it from the s/n it is an October 1990 example? I'm still wondering if Hoover will have anything special for their centenary. Oh well. I have plans for a 1334 rebuild to celebrate the 100 years in my own unique fashion, more to come...

Hi all, I hope Vacuumland all had a happy easter. I am at present restoring my Hoover U7008 commercial to as near New condition as I can, and the only part which I need to make it look factory fresh is a good furniture guard. This rubber shorud which encapsulates the entire base is long since...

BAGLESS KIRBY??????????? Mmmmmmmmmmm, something is not quite adding up here! Just my thoughts guys, but surely a bagless Kirby is light a Hoseless LUX canister, or Beaterless HOOVER, A Sunbeam Mixmaster bereft of bowls, or other such analogies!!! One word describes it perfectly. Just plain...

Made by OSPREY?????? Ueeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuughh!!!!! I see that the power head is made by OSPREY! I cannot comment on the quality f the power head, I do know that OSPREY used to produce pattern shells and parts for the Hoover Junior and Senior (Convertible) range here in the UK. Their...

Embarrased !!!!!!!!!!!! Darn it. I must start to read posts properly before I start answering them!!!!!! Sorry guy's, I didn' read that Azman already had the asnwer, I read it as a question!! (Goes hangs his head in shame in the corner!). An embarrased, Clark.

Light on Brushroll Bar Hi, All other points have already been elequently answered, but no-one has answered the question about the light on the brushroll. It is simply there as an indicator if the brush roll becomes jammed. There will be a small magnet embedded in the end of the brushroll, and...

Junior Hose. Hi Norm, I may have a spare set of tools for the 119 junior which is the UK equivalent of the 115. Thay may not be quite the right colour, and the box is a little tatty, but I am sure once I have dug them out that they are complete and in reasonable condition. You are welcome to...
