Well since we're talking a.) design and b.) trains, I ma Here she is, English Electric (yes, the washing machine people) Deltic, powered by an engine which was arranged in a sort of Triangle shape..nothing else on earth sounds like a Deltic lol. I know i'm sort of straying off topic, but can...

Well that's cuz back then Panasonic, and other countries made damn good products, powerful motors, INTELLIGENT designs and unbeatable build quality. Shark? Shark was the name of a rather aggressive fish.

Damn, how did I miss that Alan? groovy design, like a little powerful egg.

You do realise guys that..i've actually managed to find a Matsushita/Panasonic product without actually looking for one :P If that's not some kinda weird sign I dunno what is lol.

Since Kyle likes weird Trains seemingly, here's some WW2 Steam Turbine locomotive prototypes, look at the bloody things..makes me want to start whistling the Midgar theme from Final Fantasy 7 =p

Surprised I didn't notice that was a Panasonic, lol. But now I look at it, there were a few obvious signs.

Love em, just love em. I love the colours Italian Hoover models used in the 1970s :) somehow more VIBRANT than ours. :) Ian

Does this qualify?

Appears to be a clean fan Sears/Kenmore lightweight upright. Looks to be from the 1970s, anyone able to shed some light? Cheers, Ian http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-SEARS-KENMORE-Uprite-Vacuum-Cleaner-VERY-ODD_W0QQitemZ200181509423QQihZ010QQcategoryZ115993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hoover Junior circa 1960 thru 1988 imo. It's easy to move about, and it has that Hoover brushroll.

Shame more companies aren't like that. I wonder if TTI would have sent such a good reply?

Shame I didn't keep the filter out of my old Vax, different material but more or less the same size..

I thought they were permanant at first, due to what they're made out of. Of course I guess the Connie came out before artificial fibres became so widespread :P I'll check the hoover uk spares site, or failing that just keep washing it..gives it that nice "persil" aroma ;p

(and for the retro factor, the grease looked like it was from the early 1980s at the newest :P)

Considering what I know about motors, I prob greased the wrong thing :P For all I know the thing will still work, It was working fine just..well you know, making the scary noises lol. Armature had a groove in it like somebody put it on a lathe and took one of those round ended (lol technical...

I looked on Vacuumworld when I was getting some bags and I couldn't see any, that's a damn shame. Ah well I've washed it at least.

Brand new far as I'm aware, Alan :)

As can be seen here :)

Well the twin hoses coming out of the nozzle to the bag are like the Panasonic i'm thinking of, only had it in america. Get on msn Jack :P
