All set up - can't wait to start sorting her out!

All the tools! I was suprised the adaptor was metal - aren't they bakelite on 150s?

And there's more!

nasty flex...

Nice bag! The original too - how rare is that?

I've wanted a Hoover 160 (Perivale's version of the 150) for years now, but earlier this month I got an email from a visitor to my website offering me one. Although the photo I was sent wasn't great, the description sounded good, so I sent off a cheque and then spent a week worrying. Would it be...

I don't tend to like vacuums that are a)'modern' and b) not by Hoover, but that wee Goblin is charming! I'm with Seamus in that it's a later one though, the early ones were badged as Goblin Rio's - think yours is a more powerful later one? I remember Juile Walters doing the adverts for it. No...

Just seen this story on the BBC website - the cleaner is a Siemens canister, although I doubt from the photo that it does have its original floor nozzle! I guess it must be a quite rare machine for Bosch-Siemens to be willing to swap it for a new cleaner - A couple of years back Russell Hobbs...

Oh yes, Mike, I always worry that I'm going to find something alive (or worse - dead!) every time I start work on a new machine. Thankfully, that hasn't yet happened, save the odd spider or woodlouse. I think the fabric bag only Hoovers are the worst in terms of dealing with vintage dust - at...

Excellent Stuff! so you'll basically have Electrolux's entire mid 70s domestic upright range. Marvellous! Even though I worship at the altar of the Great God Hoover, those Luxes have a certain charm to them. They're like a DAM with the flaws ironed out. I covet your 504 by the way! Si

Foot fetishists... Hehehe, I got a message from someone into this! Each to their own though. As long's he doesn't expect me to whack on a pair of high heels when I make my next video... Oh, and Jack, always love your videos! I'm surprised at how different the 912 and 912A sound. I love the...

I love those TOL Celebrities Loads of buttons and displays are always a good thing. I wish some of the ones with the motorized floor tool had made it to the UK.

Love the gunk you dug out! There's nothing more satisfying than digging out years of someone else's dirt when doing up a cleaner... those layers are like an archaeological dig! Amazing the old girl still picked up. I always thought it odd that the Exclusive models had a different headlight...

nice to see them together! A TM with proper pip-fitting tools, hurrah! I'm suprised that Hoover didn't take the oppurtunity to include a longer hose though - I bet pelmets are a nightmare with any TM lol.

Hi all, I have been offered a Hoover 750 from a shop in Aberystwyth called Craft Recycling. Contact [email protected] if you're interested in it! Aslo, the shop is prepared to accept Wants lists for ANY old appliances that you may be seeking - to quote them, "We are trying to...

Nice cleaner Thanks for making a video. It's always good to see people's machines in action! DAMs are flawed, but fun machines.

Beautiful! Your cousin's one lucky gal! I'll remember that steel wool trick.

So this is the stuff you were telling me about! I've got a feeling that the bag is original - until 1978, the only time (I think) that Hoover uprights had the roundel on the bag was with the 638. I know the handgrip colour (of all things) definitely changed at some point with the 1224 - is...

Fred, Those floor tools don't seem to be very common, they would wear out where they swiveled. Plus I don't think they did a great job (although IMHO they're more effective than the floating brush type), my mum and grandma always used to the upholstery nozzle with their Hoover canisters as they...

Thank you! I love doing these little movies, they're so much fun to make! Not that difficult either, I'm only using a camera that can film in 30 second bursts, and windows movie maker. Seamus/Fred: Yes, that bit of carpet is pristine; shame the rest of the flat is a tip LOL. Actually, it's...
