Hi all .Would anyone have a good photo of the original bag for this machine. I have made a new bag for mine and would like to have a go at putting the graphics on the front but i have no idea what the original looked like so a nice sharp photo would be much appreciated

I had a guy argue black was white that you dont need an earth on a Hoover 612 .I have a 612 here with its original ribbed [earthed ]flex .I told him to remove the motor hood and look just below the handle release lever .the earth symbol is clearly visible and thats where he needs to connect his...

The motor is now fully back together and it runs very well .I have also refitted the handle .I did try to remove the dents but they are right where the baffle is on the inside and impossible to get at .Peeling the outer cover is also a no no .On a good note the repaired handle feels really...

Interesting stuff guys Well i had a rumage through the garage and found this off white hose [its from a kirby] so i have fitted the bent wand end from the electrolux hose to one end and by removing the broken hose end that fitted onto the front of the Kirby i have made the thing fit the...

the motor in this machine was also used to power the spin dryer on Hoovers first twin tub washing machine

anyone else sick of the Ryan /jamie tit for tat thing thing .They get on my Fxxxing nerves .cant we just gag the pair of them

when i was a small boy back in the early 60s my grandma had an electrolux Z62 [no fitted carpets back then] she never used the floor tool instead she liked to use the upholstery tool on the end of the two wands .I once asked her why .She said that big thing is too clumsy its easier to get...

if that dyson got all that dirt and fluff out of the carpet just imagine what a real vacuum cleaner would have done

electrolux 137 sorry i got your name wrong . I have made a template now all i have to do is source some orange paint or maybe a felt pen .I have even thought about embroidering the logo onto the bag although that may be time consuming

thank you Electrolux 317 now i know what it looks like i can have a go keep your fingers crossed

its not difficult if you know your way around a sewing machine and a little patience

I have made a new [black ]bag for a 700 but at the moment its just plain because I have never seen an original so don't know what to put on it .If someone could post a good photo I would be great full

Just completed another bag for this machine .Its not perfect but anything is better than those grey replacements. Its made from heavy duty Calico dyed brown [in the washer] the stripes are done with a gold felt paint pen [don't panic guys there's a paper bag in there]

over here When they do occasionally surface they tend to sell for around 10 to 15 Pounds [not sure what that coverts to in your currency but i am happy to pay that along with the shipping of course

I think They are the ones Chris .My old ones measure exactly the same . How much would you like for them and more importantly how do we get them over here ?
