This is not like common flu Everyone needs to be cautious of this virus old and young. The UK has become a different place in a space of 10 days. Birmingham has become a ghost town. Its like nothing we've ever experienced before. Stay safe, avoid contact and cross your fingers you don't get...

The situation is the same here in the UK. I went into ASDA on my way to work this morning as I always do on a Monday to get milk and biscuits for the office where I work. Usually there are about 10 cars in the car park and at that time in the morning only the self scan checkouts are open...

The design of the one you have does mean that if that red cover plate is not air tight then you will lose any precious suction. Is there a gasket on the red cover? Its very clean inside too. I would have expected the paint to be a bit chipped inside from all the dust and dirt.

It works ok yeah. Picks up things quite quickly and does give the carpet a brushed look. The fan outlet is quite large so there is plenty of room for air flow. As you can see in the photo the bag is inflated when pushing to and fro.

This is the one I have, the bag support is slightly different and the bag print design is different

Will take a photo this evening so you can see. They do collect a fair bit of dust and fluff

Does the red top come off? It looks like it should but cant tell form your photos?

They were never very powerful machines, however here should be enough airflow to inflate the bag. After a good fast push across the carpet the fan should take about 20 seconds to slow down and stop. If you can get it apart I would drop some oil on the fan bearings. Can you show us any photos...

You would use the existing oval clip from your original U4014 Outer bag. You need to feed this into the stitched channel on the bottom of the replacement bag......

Can't imagine anything more dangerous than that. No hand guards and no switch release when you put it down.

That's a Canon Suction Cleaner. There is a Shires Book called "Early Electrical Appliances" and its featured in there...

So the Neptune lives on as the Zelmer Aquawelt. Just looked at the spec and they have now improved on it by making it a carpet washer and a water filter vacuum, or if you prefer it can be used with filter bags instead of using the water filter. I knew the Neptune reminded me of something...

These were the original Disposall bags first seen on the 638 Senior and the 1334 Junior. The end of the bag that fits on the dust tube came pre-folded and stapled to fit the dust tube. To empty the bag you removed the metal bag clip at the other end. The next generation dustbag did away with...

Looks in great condition, my all time favourite Electrolux. Good all round cleaner with style.

Seeing Vintagerepairers post earlier in this thread it reminded me, My Mom had a Hoover Junior from new, the first one with the top fill bag. We never had tools until a few years later in the 80's after some badgering from me so I could hoover the car. I'd be about 7 at the time. Even then...

Did anyone else notice the upholstery brush in the tool set? I've never seen one with a rotating joint before, in the same style as the floor brush seen on Senior tool kits. very unusual.

Mike, Does it have the Sponge filter fitted to the exhaust outlet? I've got an 867A with this fitted and it does make a difference to the sound.
