Its looking good this now after i juniored it and put a bit of shake n vac down. If the missus had her way the whole house would be laminate floor.. NO WAY!
The carpet only looks good there because thats where a chair usualy sits :-) the kids have ruined the rest of it LOL.
Ive never tries the cord hooks but its always fun finding out, Trial and error.
@ Jamie yes it was a Co op superstore exclusive as that colour was only available to the Co op and yes its the 400w / 600w motor
@ Jake if your not fast your last i hope you enjoy your purchase.
These are my other 2 machines and a toy Junior
The 1969 652A is my experimental machine for fiddeling about with but is in great nic but had a horrible thick not standard flex on it which has now been removed.
The 1965 1334A has a non standard bag and hood cover but runs like new.
The toy...
Its only a year younger than your Ranger made in 76 a CO OP special. it was my nannas and had been lying for about 15 years in a cupboard where i had hid it because i had been told to throw it out.
I got clean a new plug and belt and it started up on the button and works great and my wife loves...
I was going to buy that tonight but just for the sake of it really because i dont really like the colour of it and i already have 3 Juniors, just as well the missus would have fell out with me.
Theres another one just like it on Ebay but at a much higher starting price.
I hear what your saying. All my Hoovers get used daily but treated with respect and the wife does too unlike the Dyson which was bashed about all over the place and not treated well at all but that is now gone.
I like my things to be used and not static.
On another note i tried Shake and Vac...
I got a 1346A recently in great shape but its not going into retirement just yet i took it into work to use in my store, it will be treated with the respect it deserves but it will be worked hard.
I tried it for a short time to see what the difference was like but its something you try at your own risk i have no idea if its bad for the motor or not?
It was about the 400w 600w speeds on the Ranger, it was you i just checked Yahoo answers again. Did you see on you tube the guy who jammed a bit of cardboard into the bit where the switch is to jam it down so he could use it at 650w to use upright?
Good Good.... I was just thinking there was it you that asked about the Hoover Ranger on Yahoo answers about a month ago because if so that was me that answered the question.
