Hello all, I spent the day digging and found Convertibles that I have decited to part with. This has not been easy for me to part with two of these machines. If they were metal then I would keep them. I just need to clear out stuff. If it's in storage then it's time to do something about it, right?

The first set of Convertibles are U4393 with 4.8 amps ( green one) full bumper, no hand grip, slider switch. Orange one U4189 also 4.8 amps with half bumper no headlight and with hand grip, toggle switch. These two are the ones I am having trouble parting with. lol

All Convertibles work great. I took them all apart, sericed and cleaned and greased the motors. Repelaced bags,belts and bulbs. I even took the outer bags off and washed them in the sink with the fresh smell of Mr. Clean and frebreeze.
All the bearrings are great, cords are great,outer bags are great, all outer condition is great, and the brushrolls are useable but I myself would replace them if I were adding them to my collection. CWP makes great and cheap brushrolls that quiet down the Convertibles. All of the machines take type C bags.

the second set

The Blue one is a U4401. 4.8 amp, motor, half bumper,hand grip, and slider switch. This one has a slight problem with the height adjustment staying up.
The burnt orange one is U4305. 4.3 amps,half bumper, no hand grip, and toggle switch.

Please email me with your interest.
Reaching through email would be easier as I check that more often and sooner than on here.
[email protected] I can try to ship anywhere.
Again, motors are great, very strong. All the carbon brushes are nice and long, although just some advice on the orange one in picture two if you were to use it as a daily driver then I would get a new set of carbons for it. The ones that are in her are fine but they were the shortest out of all these machines and it shows the most use.

Convertibles are gone for now.

Wow I posted them at like two in the morning and by like 6:a.m. I had responses. The Convertibles are now spoken for, but stay tuned for other things that I find.
They will be posted in a new post when I find them.


All the best to everyone,
Phillip
