It is a pretty little machine, they're relatively unusual here in the UK too. hmmm tough decision! heres a video of her in action when she wasn't misbehaving

Hi guys I've had my Filter Queen 70th anniversary for some time now, it is my main vacuum and I love it to bits. Unfortunately, I think the motors dying on me, it's started producing a burning smell. It recently had some new carbons and the armature was cleaned up because I found the armature...

Heres a pic and vid of my BVC EV44 in case you missed the first post :)

they also sent me this which is quite interesting. I've heard of a Goblin Dogsbody but this appears to be a commercial version from BVC (who owned Goblin) it was also sold under Electrolux, Nilco and Fakir

Well, I wrote to BVC to see if they could identify my BVC commercial for me because it was missing its ratings plate and this is what they sent me back :)

it's quite possible, BVC made a huge range of commercial and industrial cleaners around that time. The most famous film appearance for BVC would probably be the hotel scene in the Return of the Pink Panther movie. I've included a link below :) The most common style of BVC seems to be the...

nope, that was how I found it amazingly enough lol people do amaze me

Glad I powered it up with a circuit breaker, this is the modification one of the previous owners had made to bypass the faulty switch. Dodgy as hell!

quite possibly the most worn out floor tool i've seen! replaced the baseplate with a nice new one

a 1983 brochure, note the tools. I'm guessing mines from around the same time

yep it was lol the filter wasn't in properly which is why it was taped up

as it came

pre-cleaning

Hi guys, just picked up this unusual BVC, never seen another like it before. It's had a hard life and is a bit tatty, the motor was seized and the switch knackered, however i've rectified this and it runs quite well now. Does anyone remember seeing any of these back in the day? Unusually, it...

cheers guys, yeh I guess that modern sebo tools would fit. The 1354's was picking up rice in the vid hence the noise lol

it is an incredible vacuum, really do love this one. I wish parts were a bit more easily available over here though. I need 2 new top cord hooks for my ones. I don't mind the shakeout bag but I haven't had to empty it yet. When I first got it, it was bulging and stuffed full of sand and I used...

thanks :)

heres a video of it in action..
