Henry At risk of hijacking a 'Vintage' thread....... All I can say (regarding longevity) is that the 'Henry' featured in my photographs was purchased (used) by my mother at the beginning of 1992. It has outlasted her, and is still going strong, though it is not my 'daily drive' now. I am...

Kenkart As promised...... Name plate....

Sebo_Fan .... And accessories.... ;-)

Sebo_Fan Just for you...... Horns.......

European If and when I can get some digital photographs taken, I'll post one here of my 'National'.... All best Dave T

Cloth bags Firstly - probably a 'dumb' question, but.... I assume 'HEPA' is an acronym, however I have no idea what it 'stands for'..... Secondly - Two of my 'vintage' machines have 'cloth bags'... Isn't it wonderful how fashions turn full-circle in the end??? ;) All best Dave T

Re-use It's good to see that parts have been re-used. I would have been surprised if it had worked perfectly after sitting in a garage for ten years.... ;) I would still like to see one of these motors to investigate bearing access for lubrication. All best Dave T

Ultimatevacman Parts now in the post.... Sorry about the delay, work been truly hectic.... :-( All best Dave T

Dc01 Not sure which one is which in this thread... The one I supplied wasn't badly damaged when it left me. The original cable from that one may be about to become available again, when the machine it was fitted to gets 'pensioned off'. That's a 'red and yellow' one... Think it may also be...

Audio recording If anyone near me has a suitable machine, I have studio quality recording equipment, and would be happy to make a .mp3 of it. Best wishes for your search and studies Dave T

SuctionSelector I am on AW.org under the same username, if you want to discuss washers.... ;) I don't actually 'collect' those, either... But I do have a heap of older used spares (1970s/80s/90s) Sadly, I have no idea which machines most of them belong to... I inherited a lot of them 'sans...

Imagery Thanks, Parwaz786. :-) I try to combine accuracy with at least a hint of humour.. ;-) Frequently (being no Vacuum Cleaner expert) I have no idea of the actual 'names' of parts, so just describe them and let you all decide amongst yourselves. Thanks again Dave T P.S. If your mental...

Motor Brushes My money is on worn out brushes, too.... Give it a good slap while powered up.. Any sign of motor life is pretty much positive proof..... All best Dave T

Witches I thought that most witches lived 'Over the Rainbow'... I didn't know they used them, too... ;-) Sorry.... Couldn't resist :) Dave T

Motors Yeah.... It'll be a Hotpoint that the Good Lady has.... She couldn't remember (and neither could I). The main reason I use the WH818 is the induction motor.... No annoying commutator whistle at spin speed. :-) Clothes still only half dried at the end of the spin. :-( Five minutes in...

Exhaust filter Is that an original accessory?? It looks a lot like a gas mask filter.... Congratulations on a 'monster bargain'!! :-) All best Dave T

Suctionselector I use an Electrolux WH818. 800/400 spin speeds. My 'Good Lady' has a Hoover Aquarius 1000/500 spin speeds. I recently 'just missed' a Zanussi spinner in a local charity shop.... I got a 'tip-off' from a friend, but it was already gone when I got there..... :'( All best Dave T

Email Joe... I'll try to Email you from my old laptop when I can dig it out. You will probably be glad to know that I found another bit of Dyson earlier today... I think it's the 'upholstery' tool.... Small plastic thing, with two strips of red 'velcro'-like stuff underneath... Don't you just...

Messages Joe.. I have been 'messaged' before, but I wonder whether messaging is available to 'upgraded' members only, in which case it will have ceased after my '40 day free trial' (thanks, Unimatic1140, it was useful and, even though I'm not a 'collector' at all, I may even pay for an upgrade...
