Nice Find None of our local charity shops will take in or sell electrical items, what did it fail the PAT test on ?. Did you find out. It can fail for lots of things, Like having a plug with non insulated pins or Nicks in the power lead. Even badly contaminated appliances or power leads can...

Congratulations Excellent find, wish we had some OLD vacuum cleaner shops over here. Unfortunately they became do everything appliance shops years ago, I did find 1 old vac shop a few years back that was closing down. Sadly the owners Moron son had put all the old stuff in a dumpster & sent it...

Same problem all day yesterday again No access once again yesterday, returning same errors as above. Seems to be every other day, there's no access.    

Hi John Apologies for the delay in replying, yes I did thoroughly enjoy looking at your pictures. Only thing is, my youngest is now trying to convince me to move to Pennsylvania. She'd be knocking on your door, wanting to help clean & polish them

Sebo_fan Hi: Thank you for the apology, I appreciate it. If I said anything in reply that caused you offence then please accept my apologies for it.

Sorry to detract from the original thread. But J Murray: If they've not already done one, talk to your doctor about having a Cat scan. I suffered for years with the same sort of symptoms you describe and had multiple blood tests etc, all negative . It wasn't until I changed doctor & was sent to...

@ gottahaveahoover. Congratulations, an absolutely stunning collection. If you restored those yourself you have some serious skills

Sebo_fan, Turbo500, Vacuumlover Sebo: Yes you were wrong, because I dared have a different opinion you posted a sarcastic reply that you could always tell the difference between a Repairer & Collector. I.e in your opinion I'm a Repairer not Collector.    Vacuumlover: Until the Owner of the...

Sad: I'm a member of many forums for collectors & restorers of different items, yes we will spend time discussing a technical part of a machine or the best way to repair damage or locate a fault or maybe re-finish say a  Vintage radio. But never before have I come across a group of supposed...

Hey Turbo500 I hate vacuuming period, the noise goes through me. Years ago when I was a kid, I could sit & listen to the cleaner or washing machine ( twin tub in those days) & happily drift off to sleep but not anymore. I repair old power tools for people as well & get a real buzz from bringing...

Sebo_fan Your wrong, yes I repair & restore equipment both for myself and others. I also collect different Vintage Electrical / Electronic equipment, but that's for the pleasure of restoring them to working order & as near original condition as possible, not to sit on a forum & wax lyrical...

What do I like when Vacuuming ? Simple really, when it's finished.

Hey guy's: Thanks for your replies to my question about gas prices, much appreciated. Prices have dropped a bit over here in most places, it's down to around £1.11 a litre for Diesel & £1.15 for petrol. That's the lowest it's been in probably 13 years.  

I'm able to post this message because after trying multiple times I was finally able to gain access, don't ask me how or why. I've absolutely no idea, as I've already said. This is the only site I have any problem accessing.[this post was last edited: 8/13/2015-16:13]

Congratulations, cool looking machine.

Been trying to access the site all morning, the message I've been getting is: Forbidden, you do not have permission to access this server.

Seems that US manufacturers are going the way of the UK. Most of our manufacturers have gone as well, nowadays people want top quality appliances but not the prices. Wonder how long Dyson will last at the prices they charge.

Hi: No unfortunately I'm in the same place all the time. All day yesterday no access, just the message Forbidden every time. This morning, I go to access the site just to see what happened. No problems site came straight up.

What price do you pay for a gallon of petrol ?. We're having cars with smaller & smaller engines due to the cost of fuel. Depending on where you buy fuel over here, you can pay anywhere from £5.75 to £8.00 a gallon for petrol & diesel is even worse.
