67 .. 68 ... where do they end? I didn't realise there was anything after 65. I thought things then went into the Uxxxx numbering system after that. Does anybody have pictures of the 67 and 68 machines Chris mentions? Even better, does Jeff's list have pictures and could we see? It would be...

And they were definitely in Australia ... I happened to Google Fillery and found this picture in our State Library's collection. http://acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=16304

And apparently they're still around ... Who have thought? http://www.ciao.co.uk/Hoover_Vacuum_Polisher__Review_5559667

VCCC Members to the rescue again! Hi everyone, Thanks for all the feedback. Tommy: your link was very informative. It was fascinating to see under that Hoover and understand how it works. Doug (and Dave): I think you're on the money. The word "Fillery" is stirring vague memories. It was a...

Hi all, Back in my childhood (early/mid 60's) I have vague memories of having seen a machine in a second-hand shop window which seemed to be a vacuum cleaner and a polisher. I can't remember the brand. It would have been the size and colourings of a Hoover 61 (612 here in Oz). I only have this...

Thanks Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your help. I'll let you know the results, although I expect it will be a few weeks away. Cheers, Nick

A while ago somebody in the UK put up a photo of their three 652's (pink, grey and green) looking absolutely fantastic. I've managed to get myself a somewhat later green 6525B. It's certainly showing its age, with quite a few scuff marks on the hood and scratches on the paintwork. The guy...

Charles made it on morning TV here today ...

And a big close-up smile ... ...to say "thanks, and Happy Hoovering"

Full-length ... ... glam shot

That's better ... I'm whole again!

Turbo-peg-leg Help!

Remember this thread? Hi everyone, I just want to publicly thank James for finding a wheel and posting it to me as an early Christmas gift. I installed it this weekend and now have my Turbomaster purring around the place again. Great site, great information, and now I too am a recipient of...

Ball bearings Thanks again. Now I know what mistake NOT to make with a sleeve bearing. My next job is to find out how to get at and service the ball bearing. Any hints from Bernie or anybody else on that part of the fun? Nick (and if this seems like a repeat, it is ... my first reply didn't...

Ball bearings Thanks. So now I know what mistake not to make for the sleeve bearing. My next task it to learn how to take it apart enough to get at and grease (if necessary) the ball bearing. Anybody have any hints along those lines? Nick

Lower bearing ? Hi Bernie, Thanks for the link to the video. It was very informative. I'm now wondering whether I need to do anything about the lower bearing, and if so, where I might find similarly informative information. Cheer, Nick

Bearing Information Hi Bernie, I just noticed that too. I'd read your thread and replied, thanking you for the link. It's all gone now though. If you (or somebody else) could re-post the information, that would be great. Nick

Thanks, Bernie I appreciate your advice. Nick

Hi guys, I've read a number of posts where people have said they've restored the motor on a Convertible, including repacking the bearings with grease. Could somebody tell me when that becomes necessary and guide me to instructions on how to go about it? The two machines I'm working on seem to...

Pictures to clarify Here's a picture of the two machines. The U4046 is on the left as you look at the picture; the more recent U4064 on the right. If anybody (OzHoover Mark?) can help me date them from the serial number information, that would be great Nick
