    CLASH OF THE COLLECTORS tv show airing now worldwide on NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

    thanks GOTTAHAVEAHOOVE ! And Garreth, I also am planning to find a small hand-held buffering machine, possibly NOT ROTO-ORBITAL ( cause I have tried and cannot control them ) in order to be able to make machines shine without dismantling them totally. I suppose the ones used by car-repair...

    oh what a marvel ! Garreth these are all wonderful machines ! All 4 are priceless ! If you have a buffering machine to make them shine like new, I think this will come out to be the "best restoration project of the year", as they really can become INCREDIBLE ! I have many Iron-made machines but...

    What model is this vorwerk?VK115 maybe?

    no I don't agree, and don't think is a vk 111 cause the motor head here is flat. Let's ask TOMMY !

    What model is this vorwerk?VK115 maybe?

    no idea FOR SURE NOT THE VK 115, cause this has a larger badge on the motor cover. I could anyway bet that - as always with VORWERK cleaners - all farts from similar models ( like the 115 ) will fit for sure. The rubber parts seem to be quite damaged, so if I was you I would buy it only if...

    Is this bag too far gone?

    I WOULDN'T I would keep the original bag, poilsh it at its best with warm soapy water. Exept in case you find THE SAME EXACT BLUE BAG WITH WHITE LOGO... For the holes, consider of glueing some blue fabric in the interior of the bag where the bag is cut, as it will keep edges at their place. Use...

    How did you discover other collectors?

    good memories For me too it was the internet, when it still was a frustrating and time-consuming playground and it took hours to charge images : - CHARLIE LESTER's 137.com ( not sure the adress was the same at the time ) thanks to which I also came to know about the person we could consider...

    CLASH OF THE COLLECTORS tv show airing now worldwide on NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

    AFTER-THE-SHOW-MACHINE A strange HOOVER 262 with grey hammertone color scheme. Other collectors say it's a rebuilt machine, but I am not sure, as the underside of the machine and even the motor-space are that color. Many details - such as the screws, the HOOVER plaque indicating features, etc...

    AFTER-THE-SHOW-MACHINE HOOVER 800 - working fine - the spring that protects the cable going from the motor-housing to the handle has been replaced with a plastic tube BUT the original spring has been kept ( you can see it hanging in the plastic bag on the left ! )

    Hey SCOTT ! Nice to see you here, Scott ! Sorry but I didn't know your username to contact you before ! Hope you will enjoy the show too, as I did. In my case I must say that my house did not get better since the filming of the show, even if I have moved much stuff to an unused ex-guestroom...
