Hi Michelle, You look great in the photos. I had a '58 Plymouth Savoy many years ago, but I never got it on the road. Good luck with your projects, and please keep posting updates on here, as it is very interesting to see how you are getting on. Robin.

In England, any type of vacuum cleaner is referred to as a hoover. Operating a vacuum cleaner is known as hoovering. Robin.

It is a great shame that admitting to having a collection of vacuum cleaners usually causes a reaction of shock and horror. Women are generally worse than men, and they normally dislike the idea of any type of collecting, other than shoes or handbags. I think that collecting in general is...

Thank you very much for the information. Do you know when the different models were in production? Thank you for your help, Robin.

I am afraid that I know absolutely nothing of the history of this machine. This is actually an s32 model. The serial number is 7 300107 It runs on 200/250 Volts, 400 Watts. I would be grateful if you could tell me any more about it. Thanks, Robin.

I have acquired a couple of Columbus machines. I am a Hoover collector, so I would be happy to pass them on to a good home. Robin.

It would be great if, between us, we could compile a list of all versions of the Hoover Junior. I have attached a photo of some of my Juniors. This is nowhere near a complete set. Robin.

Thank you for saving another beautiful classic Hoover. Robin.

Very nice. Well done for saving it. We didn't have that style of Hoover over here unfortunately. Robin.

I have got a similar machine stored away somewhere, and I will see whether I can dig it out. I seem to remember that it is labelled as a Trojan. I believe that I have seen them with other names. Robin.

I have to admit that I tend to be the other extreme. I would, generally, rather see a tatty original machine than one that has been painted. That, of course, depends upon the condition of the machine when you get it, and each case has to be judged on it's merits. Obviously, I try to buy...

I am afraid that I don't know the exact date of your machine, but the Model 262 was introduced in 1939, and ceased production in 1949. Bear in mind though, that production was interrupted by the war, so the 262 was not actually made for as long as the dates would suggest. I hope that this...

Hello and welcome, from a fellow vacuum enthusiast, from a different part of the world. Robin.

I am delighted to hear that you are making progress with the '56 Chevy. I would like a swimming pool full of that rust converter. Robin.

Fantastic!! Thank you very much for that. Robin.

I like some of those slightly strange 1970s colours.

That is a nice looking phone. Topaz yellow is a lovely colour. It is a shame that the range of colours from the GPO and BT was fairly limited. Robin.

I have just acquired another telephone. It is a 332F model, dating from 1946. Robin.

Thanks for the information. I would quite like one of those phones for my bedroom. I will keep an eye out on Ebay for a suitable example.

I love the look of those Princess phones. Does anyone know whether they can easily be wired for use in the UK? Robin.
