Lux XI Congratulation Tommy, you have done a great job with that cleaner

Heat pump drier Well, nearly one year on, I am still satisfied with the Beko drier. As I said before I try and line dry my clothes where possible but this year, for one reason and another, I have probably used the drier more than previously, I would guess I have done about 40 loads since I...

Side view The red button is the beater release - I have no idea who made this for Hoover, it also came with an optional mixer stand

And 1970s

Colour It was repainted, the cleaner shown by Hoover119dude is in the original colours. Its a lovely machine, I would not be thinking of selling it if it were mine

General Electric Guido It seems to me that it owes much more in its design to Universal models, see "CreviceTool's" current thread "An EBay horror story..........(not)" for an example of their cleaner. Now I admit it is not an exact copy but it is close. I know for a fact that Universal...

I realize everyone is totally bored with me Rick ABSOLUTLY NOT! I have always enjoyed your posts of the restorations you have done and all the interesting information you have shared with us about the Universal company - and they were not even a brand that sold over here. Its been great to...

U4014 Sam Its not the best of photos but I would say that's the original bag. Time to start practicing the shake and vac dance then - I bet your little daughter would love to see you doing that (maybe not with the S&V though) Al

System 50 As others have pointed out here there are ways and means to make your System 50 run in the US, but there is something else you need to be aware of, at least if it still has the original hose - for if it has TREAT IT LIKE IT WAS GOLD ENCRUSTED WITH RUBIES These hoses are known for...

And another at a much more reasonable price, they do not crop up with these bags that often and its very unusual to see two during the same week. The good condition of the tools and carrier indicate that this may have been well looked after...

The price is eye watering Not sure if this is a Hoover replacement bag, or later version production as the plastic bags do not do well here, my 652 has the same bag. Shame the flex is not original...

Junior I thought the 1334E had a grey bag, it was kind of a mash up of old Hoover inventory. Still, this one looks quite nice http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960s-Hoover-Junior-1334E-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner-/281218791600?pt=UK_Vacuum_Cleaners&hash=item4179f238b0

This weekend has thrown up some interesting cleaners I think this is only the second of these I have seen, I bought the first one. This dust cup version was one of the last model Seniors ("New for 1984") and were pretty short lived. This one looks like it needs work...

Not Bustler Walter I think any Bustler dealership would have been pre-war rather than post war as I believe what was Bustler became the Dudley cleaners supplied to the co-op. Have you seen this article about vacuum cleaner salesmen in Birmingham? Its been on the net for a long while, but...
