    I have come by a Kleeneze Rotork Cyclon. Problem is, it is missing the soleplate and brushroll. Does anyone have any? Anyone know if they plundered another machine when they built these? Is anyone who has one or a G-Force able to show me a photo of the underside so I can see what it...

    Anyone recognise this American parts brand packaging?

    I was looking for a non gen DC26 filter, I only found them in the US. But I don't recognise the brand, something-care?   If I can find out who makes that (I know who sells it but it is seldom one and the same) I can likely get some.    Anyone recognise that branding please?

    Does anyone have a Hoover Constellation Floor Head for Sale?

    I recently acquired a rather tidy Constellation 867A, along with a brush and crevice tool. But it has no cleaner head/floor tool.    Does anyone have one for sale?    Also, did they have a stair tool? And did they have any storage for the tools or not?
