Now onto the beast. Suppressor which was removed, and final picture, mucky fan. Again, thank you Vacuumlad1650 for a copy of the service manual!

Yummy bag and rating sticker.

#1 ~ Slight crack in the upholstery tool, and the weird little rubber lint pickers (which for some reason weird me out when touched Lol) #2 ~ Dusting brush stripped. #3 ~ Slight distortion.

Pic #1 ~ A better before picture, #2 ~ A very filthy hose (looked worse in person), #3 Ref. Picture of the floor tool, #4 / #5 ~ Mucky floor tool which was then dismantled.

Filter completely disintegrated as per usual with 70's/80's machines.

The usual story, discovered her on the Land of Ebay, low starting bid, so I placed a bid on but thought it would go for far too much, but, to my surprise, I won her for £10.50 ($13.46) Complete with tools, box and manual. It's in pretty good condition (usage/motor wise) regarding its age, very...

Thank you.

And here she is after her TLC. Almost like new IMBO.

Replacement cord hook in place, doesn't bother me that it isn't matching. Fan chamber removed, unfortunately there's nothing much you can do with Lux motors as they riveted the fans together. And finally, motor back in place.

Daft idea... Going to keep it fairly short and sweet. Chassis and everything was fully stripped down etc. These are the reason these early Contour's chassis failed. They're only thin little pieces of plastic which wear down thus not being able to support the machine's weight causing the...

Tut tut! Looks like the previous owner used it bagless! (Or the bag split)

Some reference shots. Apologies for the pictures keep flipping up!

Rating Sticker Decade - 90's, So, 114 = 14th Week of 1991.

Some deep gouges and the "Floor Selector" lettering wearing off.

So, as per usual, I picked this oldie from the Land Of Ebay for a bargain of £3.40 ($4.35) Managed to save on postage as it wasn't far from me at all. But.. I had to take the risk of the possibility of it not running (or shot bearings) as the seller stated as there was no plug on it anymore...

I recently bought a lux contour z1410, but it's missing its upper cord hook, crevice tool, extension wand, and 2 in 1 upholstery tool and dusting brush (not the butterfly style one!) If anyone has the items I'm looking for please either PM on here, or email me ~ [email protected] Any...

One method that might work is to strengthen the cracks with super glue, then try and "reform/remold" it by using plaster of Paris .

Thank you, would be very appreciated. Just sent you an email.

So, is this portapower motor serviceable? If so, how? I can't figure it out for the life of me! Also, I typically know how to remove suppressors, but, with the wires all being the same color, is it the same as just connecting the wires to each other as one would normally do? Ty for any help!

Thank you. Relooking at the serial number and dating as you would a, i.e, Turbopower, it could be July 1989. I had considered ordering Type A bags as I've heard others say that they do work better than our H4 bags.
