Last Week I won an auction for an Early Dyson DC01 on eBay...They are not hard to find currently, but they are getting rarer now, since Dyson stopped producing spare parts for this model in 2011! The DC01's are a bugger to find in really good condition, luckily, this one is in great shape.
When I received it, towards the end of last week, I was very pleased with the condition of it...There was no sun damage, (which is a common occurrence with early Dyson's) no broken plastic and it was generally pretty clean...However, the full "Alex treatment" was still in order!
Here are some photos of the machine before I began the restoration, it is a nice early example, this can be manifested by it having the original Dyson logo and the fixed sole plate, unlike the later DC01 models that had the current Dyson logo and a sole plate which pivoted with a cradle design.
