Wow: That is one superb looking machine, congratulations.

Nicely found.

Plenty of time wasters and crooks on eBay.

Hi blknblu Thanks for the Morgan link, that's an excellent little booklet.

Hi blknblu That Olympia in Royal Blue looks really nice.

@turbomaster When you mentioned buying for your grandfather who was ill at the time, I thought you were talking about ready meals.   You have my humble apologies for making a terrible mistake by misinterpreting what you were saying.   As for your "as you put it" large figure, who else...

lol @ Vintagerepairer We all like being lazy at times & I've used ready meals myself in the past, for example taking one to work for lunch. We only had a Microwave to cook with so they came in handy.    

Nice Good bit of detective work.

@turbomaster 1st off, please accept my condolences on the loss of your Grandfather.   Please explain where I said all ready made foods were a bad thing ?. Also I wasn't talking about ready meals, I was referring to such things as ready made Mash, Gravy / stock / sauces ready made in a tub...

You would have thought there would be some attachment but obviously not.  

@suckolux Can't argue with you there, takes but minutes to empty the bag. Some people are just too damned lazy, just take a look in the frozen food aisles & see things like frozen Gravy etc for proof.

Have you cleaned out the cleaner head & cleaned the brush roll ?. I'd also run a cloth through all internal passageways. The 1st thing I'd use is White vinegar & then follow that up with pure Lemon juice, normally gets rid of most bad smells. Just make sure you let it fully dry before use.

Hi: What sort of smell is it ?

So what does he do with all the stuff he buy's ? Does he actually restore it for his collection or just hoard it ?.   If it's getting restored for the guys collection, I can understand that. But if he's buying them up just for the sake of hoarding then to me that's sad.    

Nice Find None of our local charity shops will take in or sell electrical items, what did it fail the PAT test on ?. Did you find out. It can fail for lots of things, Like having a plug with non insulated pins or Nicks in the power lead. Even badly contaminated appliances or power leads can...

Congratulations Excellent find, wish we had some OLD vacuum cleaner shops over here. Unfortunately they became do everything appliance shops years ago, I did find 1 old vac shop a few years back that was closing down. Sadly the owners Moron son had put all the old stuff in a dumpster & sent it...

Hi John Apologies for the delay in replying, yes I did thoroughly enjoy looking at your pictures. Only thing is, my youngest is now trying to convince me to move to Pennsylvania. She'd be knocking on your door, wanting to help clean & polish them

Sebo_fan Hi: Thank you for the apology, I appreciate it. If I said anything in reply that caused you offence then please accept my apologies for it.

Sorry to detract from the original thread. But J Murray: If they've not already done one, talk to your doctor about having a Cat scan. I suffered for years with the same sort of symptoms you describe and had multiple blood tests etc, all negative . It wasn't until I changed doctor & was sent to...

@ gottahaveahoover. Congratulations, an absolutely stunning collection. If you restored those yourself you have some serious skills
