I agree they are so heavy and quite large compared to newer models. They are a good deal quieter too! Are these really rare? You can normally find them on eBay although expensive and not always working.

I parked my old one over it haha - new hoses are ever so expensive and the vacuum itself was tired. I have no clue why they got rid of it? Perhaps the new shiney dysons tempted them! I think those kenmores are slightly more easy to fix, which I would have done . More electrified hoses needed...

Thank you everyone! I'm glad you all appreciate the work I put Into them!

Just about any vintage vacuum I find has rust or some kind of corrosion to it, it can be a pain on some vacuums to remove! This shouldn't be too bad but I will need to drill out the screws. This will be a long restoration, I think the powerdrive needs investigating as it works but not to the...

Hi Tayyab- pick the cylinder models they're a bit nicer then the uprights. Dircik- Considering there's nothing wrong with it £15 is a bargain :) the faulty hose syndrome is common in the revolution style cleaners where the electrified hose becomes faulty from poor connections or broken wires...

Thank you! It's not like me to find such machines all in one go!

This constellation has had a complete overhaul, it's top half has been repainted inuding the handle and a new decal badge was stuck on in replace of the original damaged one. I had to source all attachemnts for this and replace the motor capacitor. It's by no means perfect and the hose and...

Before getting the concept in the vintage side of this forum I bought this Miele revolution 600 for £15. Having previously had one that became an annoyance to use due to the faulty hose syndrome I was skeptical about buying it. For the steal price I got it I thought why not. Well when I got it...

£6 later and I have this, it's zips stuck and screws in the baseplate are ruined. The brushroll bristles are the lowest I have ever seen on a vacuum but, it runs soo nicely and a good clean up will bring it back. I know nothing on these machines at all but it's growing on me rather fast! Not...

Very Nice collection! All your Dysons look in great condition!

I don't think they fit in the clutched dysons,I found this brushroll on eBay and can't find no more aha! Thank you Sam!

I picked up this Dyson dc04 absolute this bank holiday weekend to help finish a little project. The dyson was filthy but cleaned up brilliantly,the brushroll couldn't even be identified as it was covered in hair! After some work and the "part" put in place I may have a one of a kind dyson! I...

Thank you Steve and Chris! I put the wax on the spinning wheel and yes it does make a mess! Especially when I use other products with the wheel. The Vortex was filthy and probably the worst vacuum I had ever come across. I really hope I haven't given the impression that I pay a fortune for...

Thank you all for your kind comments, I really appreciate them. James B- Yes I polished the Heritage, just like all my other Kirby's by myself. Only recently started using an old handi-butler but its a bit scary :P Strange to think I wore my hands out polishing whole Kirby's to close enough...

Good looking 600s! What do you prefer now, Electrolux or Hoover?

Thank you for viewing the pictures. Still have other projects I can't wait to finish!

Pretty good for £3!
