Hi guys I've been doing a few dc01's recently. You can pick a complete one up in my region for around a fiver off ebay. I normally resell them for 25 quid after a refurb as they only take me roughly an hour and a half to do a full strip down.
Just recently ive noticed that they are selling them selves without really having to over advertise them or include a 500 word essay as of to why you should but it. I used to break them for spares but I refurbish them again as they sell so easily.
Has anyone else noticed this, the ydk ones are pretty good for a vacuum of nearly 20 years old. The amtek motors seem to last longer but the suction is quite dire. This is an example. I paid £5 for it and sold it for £25 this afternoon. All it needed was a set of wheels as the others had play in them from wear. It also had a quite recent wand and hose fitted also a new power cable when I collected it.
The lady has just collected it, I think it will make someone a good machine for another few years. It's always nice to think one has been saved from the crusher and put back onto the carpets.
I have kept one for myself and put it into daily use.
