Aww thanks Walter and I am really pleased it brought back some nice memories for you...I wish I had been around to see them all shiny and new in the shops at the time.


 


Thanks John, really glad you enjoyed the video as much as I did making it. She is back in her box now to keep her smelling new! And yep! IT still smells new!!

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Congratulations, Alex. That certainly is a rare find. I sure hope there are more mothers-in-law who stashed away brand-new vacuums in their attics, but not likely. </span>


 


<span style="font-family: helvetica;">You are one lucky guy. You did a great job on your video. It was a treat to see this run for the first time. Thanks for sharing with all of us.</span>

certainly a great find

And certainly brings back memories for me.As some of you may know i was an apprentice in middlesbrough back when this machine was new .I worked for a company called HC troldhal [i will never forget how to spell that word]long gone now .As a young 17 year old i would be sent [once a fortnight ]to the large CO OP building on Linthorpe road .I would spend the whole day there working on machines that had been brought back under guarantee .this would all go on down in the vast cellar of the CO OP .I would see these boxed machines and all the others in the range plus lots of other brands stacked up to the low ceiling I would basically make one good machine from the limitless spares on all the others .box them back up and they would be sold as new .At the time hoover had a trade in scheme going on so at one end of the cellar was a pile of traded in vacuumm cleaners of all makes and ages just stacked half way up the wall .I asked the manager one day what happened to all the old machines he told me that they were just scrap and that every so often they would just have a big clear out .I then asked him if i could take one his reply to that was[you can take the fxxxG lot son il be glad to see the back of them .I helped myself on a regular basis to anything i wanted including new sets of tools still boxed but the point i wanted to make was I am not surprised that Alex machine has survived still in its box because back in the early 70s even further back in the cavernous CO Op cellar were shelves with various vacuums going back to the 1930s along with other appliances such as electric fires and irons hairdryers Ect obviously products that hadn't sold and because the place was so big they were just forgotten about.I live in Leeds now but i go home every so often to visit family and when i drive past the CO OP building [that looks just as it did all those years ago ]i wonder if all that stuff is still there

Oh wow, what an interesting story...You should go and ask or go undercover, and have a peak! Lol.

To me it is something really special, because this is a once in a lifetime operation to own a cleaner from the days of yore and be the original owner and to be the first to tske it out of the box, just incredible what secrets the world has!

Very strange to think this machine was boxed up many years before my parents even got together and has been waiting just for me all this time! That is 11 Olympic games! And 6 months after “Are You Being Served?” Started...That is how long it has been in the box until it was taken out and used in November 2017, nearly half a century later! Weird! But absolutely incredible!

 

[anthony]

yes

I know exactly what you mean .back in the early 60s [i would have been around 6 years old ]my parents got a new hoover Junior [1334 grey and white model ]I sat absolutely enthralled as my dad took it from the box and put it together even though i was only 6 that memory is still vivid in my mind but the one thing that i remember most of all is the smell of the brand new hoover .You probably think i am a little weird but its true.It didn't take my mum long to realise that the cleaning tools for the junior were not very effective and so a few months later another box was opened [with me looking on of course ]you can imagine my delight when my dad pulled out a brand new [in maching grey and white ]Hoover constelation There was that same smell again and it wasn't just any old hoover it was a Connie .When my dad switched it on for the first time and it floated across the room i was spellbound my 6 year old mind trying to work out how it could move without any wheels .A year or so goes by and mum is upstairs cleaning the bedrooms when the phone rings downstairs she leaves the connie running on the landing and runs down to answer it forgetting that i was in the bathroom .While mum is on the phone i have pulled the running Connie into the bathroom and put the end of the hose down the toilet .You can only imagine what happened next [no RCDs in them days ]After spending a few weeks in the airing cupboard the Connie was as good as new and is alive and well up in the attic .Im sure i had toys as a child but i dont remember them i do however remember in graphic detail all of the appliances we had AND THAT SMELL

Another very interesting tail, thanks very much for sharing! I have had several new old stock cleaners, earliest being 1990 and all of them, even the senior to my amazement had a new smell, it is indescribable, but it is sweet and smells good, I love it!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I, too, love that smell!

Imagine walking through the factory and smelling it! I was very fortunate.
After putting "Miss Connie Hoover" in a toilet, it's a miracle you're still alive, Anthony.
Alex, I can tell, all the way "over here", how excited and happy you are.
You give great video presentation. Nice hands, too.
Keep up the great work.
