Some sort of specimen which decided to lodge its self in the air path somehow!

Surprisingly, the motor looked very clean and actually sounds very healthy, which is great.

Last Week I won an auction for an Early Dyson DC01 on eBay...They are not hard to find currently, but they are getting rarer now, since Dyson stopped producing spare parts for this model in 2011! The DC01's are a bugger to find in really good condition, luckily, this one is in great shape. When...

Electricbroom... Thanks so much. I love restoring them to looking as near to new as possible. I love the white and blue colour scheme too, wish i had the matching Senior.
