Yes, sorry, to clarify, the flat out head (I think) is awful, and the wheels on the machine (that will need to come off to access the cord rewind so that can be removed to access the motor and replace it) Look forward to the video though!

At least it hasn't got the horrible flat out head... The rear wheels look like a pain to remove to get to the motor, I don't look forward to repairing those in a few years time!

I need to boiling water the tool end of the hose to at least turn the rubber grip around as it's upside down. Sadly the hose is off and in the bin, but I can now put a plastic hose on and at least use it!

Well I won't be too harsh as I think she's screaming out for new belts but here's a quick video! Had to grab the 1988 u2332 I finished last night to help though... http://https//youtu.be/eJya46g-SNM

It was your video of the black one that prompted me to get this one Roger! It's the sort of machine that, even though I know it's ultimatly not very good, its a peice of history, and interesting enough to have a punt on! I did a brief bit of vacuuming yesterday and whilst the suction isnt too...

Thought I'd try to make a habit of posting up here again! Did a 40 mile round trip at lunchtime today to pick this up! Have always secretly wanted one ever since they first came out, my mum entered a competition to win one, which sadly we didnt, and she bought a JMB peice of hell from...

Well that's interesting that it could be done. Am happy to destroy the ruined hose to fit a plastic one and get the machine usable again, don't suppose you have any pointers on where to start so I don't loose a finger or anything do you?

Put a fresh bag in and a new belt on and it'll soldier on for many years yet as is!

Hi all I picked up a nice Lux 65 from ebay last week Works brilliantly, is lovely and smooth and soft, but, as usual the hose is shot. Are the hose ends removeable on these? Initial look says no, but has anyone ever done it before? Doubt latex lining would be easy to do, are there any other...

Its a shame the sound is muffled on the video, but it doesn't sound bad, just dry! New brushroll bearings and a belt would make it sound 70% better, new motor bearings should sort the other 30% out. Happy to send you some if you wanted? Don't know what vac spares are like in France...

Oooh lovely, will have a listen when I get home from work (just gone 5pm here in the UK, half an hour to go!) The headlight works though! It will smell very dusty if it's been sat for years with a full bag. You can take it off the machine, undo the clip at the bottom to seperate it from the bag...

That's the only thing about mine that's poor, the very faded lens. It must just be different batches of plastic ageing differently, I've seen older 652s with perfect lenses! Hooverfind, any chance you could post a video of it on youtube so we can hear the noise? My money's on it needed new...

Found one! Yt video too, I did intend to post the afters by the looks of things! http://hoover Senior 652a new noise...: youtu.be/CVRSlPXnw0c

Thanks! It did Polish up nicely... Whilst finding this thread to post on my reply I realised I hadn't updated it! All the pictures are off my phone now though On my 64gb USB stick I keep all the vacuum stuff on. I'll update the thread over the weekend! It's up in the loft now through lack of...

Lovely find! What a lovely find! And well done for taking the time to find some info out, you've certainly come to the right place! I refurbished mine last year, they are stonking machines for carpet! Link below to the refurb thread. Were you inclined to fix it up and use it, you'd have...

I've got one you can have. Don't know if I get pms due to not being a paid member anymore so try it and send me your address, I'll post it out next week

In the UK, Miele are pretty much the best you can get, along with sebo. I have an S5111 as a daily driver and I keep looking for something more fun or vintage to replace it and I've not found anything yet!

I'm never any more than 8 miles away from High Wycombe if anyone wants me to collect, wrap the box in bubblewrap in a sensitive way and post? Would imagine £15-£20 next day

Nice skip find!

Welcome! I posted my old one on my rarely updated blog, hopenit gives you inspiration. New motor and brushroll bearings transform Turbopower 1s! http://oldhoovers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/hoover-turbopower-boost-u2716.html?m=1
