you are right collector2 that electric broom was in the kitchen. not used much obviously. lol

having lived in america for 22 years i grew up watching the classic sit coms. i was told the vintage vac that is always in the background on sanford and son was a hoover. i think maybe it was a kenmore. not sure.

i would. i have wanted to meet other collectors here as most members on this site are across the pond.

when you mentioned paul linnell's vactric in this thread he gave that one to me two years ago.

hi vacbear58. my fav is your vactric R45. love the bag graphics.

welcome aboard gwillim. i am sure many of us here will keep our eyes peeled for you. my 119 junior is my file photo and the most complete upright i have. my vactric silent Q is my most complete cylinder vac. the others i am working on. gary.

I AM STILL HOPING TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE RUBBER BUMPER AS IT IS STIFF AND BEYOND SAVING.

HI WILL. THE PIC YOU SEE IS THE BEFORE SHOT. ON THE EBAY LISTING THE SELLER USED AN IMAGE FROM THE NET. HAD HE USED THE REAL VAC IN THE LISTING I DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE SOLD. AFTER TALKING WITH THE SELLER I KNEW THE CORD WAS CRACKED NEAR THE PLUG BUT DIDNT KNOW THE REST WAS VULCANIZED AND...

SINCE THERE ARE NO REPLIES TO THIS THREAD I THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN BUSY ALL DAY WORKING ON THE 700. THE BAG HAS BEEN GENTLY WASHED AND DRIED ON THE LINE WITH A SENIOR PAPER BAG INSIDE TO PREVENT THE BAG GETTING DIRTY AGAIN. A BELDEN RUBBER CORD INSTALLED AND THE HANDLE...

hi jim. i used to see those rowenta vacs for sale in argos and tj hughes back when i first came here in 98. they were avalible for 2 or 3 years after that. i thought the triangle shaped cleaning head was wierd ( i am in europe after all). it was designed to clean in corners. i was never keen...

hi all, i have seen the hoover 700 i bought off of ebay. the seller used a web photo for the listing. the one i have purchased is a hoover 700 rebuilt at the hoover factory in perivale. in the states they are known as hoover specials. i am still pleased with it in spite that the orange...

the seller said he would try to send me a few shots of the hoover tonight. he said the top of the handle has a rubber cover on it. leads me to wonder is it a 700 or a 725?? i dont know of the 700 having anything but the metal pistol grip. i should have asked if there was an orange band...

i won the 700 on ebay. seller will post a few pics to me tomorrow. it sounds like it is in really good shape after talking with him. cant wait for it to arrive.

DONT HOLD YOUR BREATH AS THIS IS AN OLD POST. THIS POST IS ALREADY 857 DAYS OLD.

MANY THANKS VACBEAR58. I HAVE A REPLACEMENT CORD AND HOPEFULLY THE BAG WILL AT LEAST BE BLACK. IF NOT I CAN ADVERTISE HERE IN SUPERMARKET. I USED TO HAVE THE ELECTRIC MUSEUM IN CHRISTCHURCH AT MY DISPOSAL FOR ANY AND ALL PARTS I EVER NEEDED. THE LOFT WAS FULL OF EVERY CLEANER YOU COULD...
