I'd just run it without the exhaust filter to be honest, the filtration would be slightly impeded but it wouldn't bother me.   My Electrolux Tango hasn't had an exhaust filter fitted for a couple of months now although I will get around to buying some cut-to-size material soon to replace it.

Are those official shirts John?  I would certainly be interested in acquiring some HOOVER apparel.

That Senior (Convertible!) on the far left is gorgeous!!  I love that colour, never seen it before I don't think.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  Losing a cat is like losing a human friend or family member - if not perhaps worse, because they cannot speak and therefore you can never really say "goodbye".    I know it will bring little comfort just now and it is a cliche, but he is free from pain and...

"Headaches are a horror to suffer with." I know this all too well unfortunately, having suffered with almost daily migraines for the past 2 years.  Around 50% of the time they are just a very bad headache but for the other 50% they include sight-loss/distortion, nausea and numbness of limbs. ...

Oh my!  Why can't I find models like that!?

Ha!  That's the exact model I have, and surprise surprise the original motor of mine blew as well.  It is now running with a 800W motor from a 1993 TP2.

That Kenmore is looking gorgeous now!  What a great job you have done.   I love restoring old vacuums that have been abused to within an inch of their lives and then seeing them put back into daily use with GOOD treatment.  It is like saving a homeless animal; mending its wounds, feeding it...

Out of curiosity, when you say "1000" what model do you mean?  A Turbopower 1000?

I am not only fascinated by the HOOVER vacuums you got but also by that sweeper!!   When was that manufactured do you know?  It is very interesting indeed.

<a name="start_29780.331809"></a>"Jamie, have you still got your 502, I remember you saying you was going to dismantle her. I love the 502 and got one in the loft."   Yes I do still have my 502 and have not dismantled it yet, but I am still certain that I will.  It is just beyond reasonable...

"<a name="start_29793.331781"></a>I honestly chuckled at your comment on it being old. OH my.You youngsters!"   Haha, well - for a bowl in this house it is old.  Most plates and bowls end up smashed here within a year or two of purchase, so for this one to last 20 years is quite something.

Thanks!  The only thing that bothers me slightly is that chip, but it has been there as long as I can remember and actually works quite well as an "egg-cracker" so hey-ho.

Good to hear more HOOVERs have came into your possession John.  I will wait patiently for the photographs...

What a beautiful example of the best Electrolux model line produced - the 500s.    You were lucky to have a replacement internal hose for that as they always split on these models but spares are so few and far between.

I'd never thought of it like that, but you are 100% correct there.

Yes it is indeed a Mason Cash! Well spotted. It is also a rather old one having been bought circa 1995.

Do any of you? I most certainly do! Aside from being cheaper (around half the price) than butter, it works just as well in the mixing process and the end result tastes no different. A lot of people think lard to be very unhealthy and avoid it at all costs, but in actual fact it is...

Can't believe I missed this!   It saddens me that we cannot praise Hoover in the present tense, but at least for the 80-odd years that they (not TTI or Candy) made the best quality vacuum cleaners in the world we can remember and be proud.

Glad to hear it is overall a good OS and with all the necessary updates and possibly a service pack, it could be a highly rated system.   I would be looking to purchase a brand new laptop computer either at the end of this year or the start of next, so if all the issues are ironed out and I...
