<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Nice finds there, Chase!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">-- Bill W.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">All the more reason to stop buying today's rubbish and stick with tried-and-true vintage goods, I suppose.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">-- Bill W.</span>

Hello there and welcome to Vacuumland! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Despite the fact that I am in the USA, I have two Contours and an Airstream II among the cleaners in my collection, and am familiar with the part that you're looking for!  While I personally don't have any...

It looks like everyone had a terrific time! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And, I'm really looking forward to our "micro-meet" on June 2nd ... should be a LOT of fun!  :)  I'm bringing with me my two British Turbopower I's (the U2194 and the U2332) as well as my Junior...

Australian Hoover <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Wow!  That's a right good looker.  Here in the USA that model would've been called a Hoover Spirit, and in the UK it would've been known as a Hoover Compact.  Not sure what the name is for the type of bag it takes in other...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Sounds good, Rob.  I'm just waiting to hear from John to make sure that the 2nd will work good for him, and then it's all systems go from there!</span>

Electrikbrooms <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">For a while, Oreck was making Electrikbrooms if I'm not mistaken.  They had bought the rights to the name and design from Regina at around the same time that they bought the rights to the name and design of the Steemer carpet...

Wow! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">This Sunday idea is really sounding great.  I'm thinking that Sunday June 2nd would work best for me.  John, how does that work for you?  And is it do-able for you also, Rob?</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Here we go again.</span>

Buffalo <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">According to Google Maps, Buffalo is about a good 4 hour drive from Pittston (5 if you factor in "necessary stops"  ).</span>

Since I wrote my last response ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... I've changed my daily drivers just a little bit.  I no longer have the Kent: it's been replaced by an Electrolux UK PowerSystem Z1720.  As for the others, I still have them but except for the Windsor I...

Or maybe it's this one ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I just read your other post ... something about the Eureka being a 1270 series machine?  Here's a schematic from Hesco for that ...</span> http://www.hescoinc.com/schematics/eureka/e_1260.pdf

A suggestion <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Did you try Hesco?  Sometimes they have what I need for my older Eurekas when nobody else does.  I see from your profile that you've listed a certain Eureka model, 1759D.  I couldn't find that specific model, but I did find a...

You're on, my friend! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And many, many thanks.  I'll send you an e-mail off forum to see when we can arrange a get-together.  Looking forward to meeting you!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">--Bill W.</span>

And, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">In terms of carpet cleaning performance I would say that they're equals.  The Turbopower's activator seems to be of the same design as the agitator on the Elite: even the height adjustment system appears to be similar.  I've never used the...

Well, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">It's been quite a while since I last had an Elite in my collection so I don't remember very well what they sound like.  However, here's a video from my YouTube channel so you can hear what my two-speed Turbopower I model U2332 sounds...

Hey John, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I wish like heck that there were some way I could come and share my two British Turbopower 1s, my Junior Dirtsearcher, and my Senior Ranger with the gang along with the Convertible that's as old as I am!  Plus, I wish I could...

thekirbylover <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Yes, I've used a few different models of the Elite.  I'm impartial: one is as good as the other, in my opinion.</span>

At last the answer! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">So my cleaners came from Cambuslang.  Good to know.  Thanks Al!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">--Bill W.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Hello to you all!  I have been trying for the longest time to get an answer to this question, and I have yet to get it.  The question is this: which Hoover factory produced the Turbopower models U2194 and U2332?  Were they made at Perivale or...
