Congratulations

to you for getting this Concept 1, just shows that good fortune can smile on us all - personally I put it down to clean living and thinking pure thoughts. You can imagine how pure my thoughts have been given that I have just paid £126 for one of these myself. Now, where are my wax dolls and pins LOLOL
 
You guys are pretty much spot on with Trunnion so I wont say a word and let the romantic words you have found leave their effect.

Al, yes a shocker completely and when he said just take it I nearly choked comsidering the fortune these machines bring in the UK.

I will be honest and did look at the £5 I had in my wallet once the spare part I bought was paid for seemed like an insult to his genorosity and kindness so I dropped the matter as not to offend - however I did put the £5 into Tesco's charity of the year fund for Muscular Dystrophy.

However monetary value aside its the machine and the joy it brings to me that counts. No ebayer or insurance policy can pay for that joy.


Now for the crunch, It is missing its brushroll to which I assume will be the Quadraflex and also the baseplate. Belt also needed as also the Powerdrive pully which the belt hooks onto.

I had a hunch that a local repair shop had a Quadraflex in his window but a lucnhtime walk solved the mystery and he didnt so I now need to find these parts to get the poor thing up and running again.

Parts seem to be way obsolete in the UK, even copy parts although I have located some bags.

DOes anyone have a clue as to where I can get what I need?

Cheers

You could also try E-bay USA for the brushroll, Shipping may be a bit much but im sure its on there someplace Im not so sure about the base plate tho. Mabe someone has a donor somewhere.If I find them I will let you know.
 
Al, I think I know who you mean about lots of spare parts :)

Il see what turn up my end first, I mean I wouldnt want to trouble anybody.

I will keep my eyes peeled on ebay USA but postage can blow the cost out of the window.

Be just my luck id buy what I needed to find one on a skip the week after.
 
Ebay USA is totally out the question im afraid. The parts I need to complete the cleaner will cost me £150 excluding postage.

I cant believe how pricey the parts are for an obsolete cleaner. The brushroll alone was 40 odd quid before postage! eeeeek!
 
Rob,

I am in the middle of aquiring a Hoover Concept for parts from a local Craigslist ad. If the brushroll is good I will send it to you as well as the bottom plate and a few belts so you can get you Concept running. I will let you know when I get it.

Sam thats sounds wonderful.
Thankyou.

What will the postage cost be like? Should I now also mention without being greedy that I forgot to inform that the drive pulley is missing and also I think there is a button missing off the handle.

Feel free to email me if the parts become available and im sure we can come to some agreement/swap. Perhaps you would like some UK goodies in return?

Kenmore81 I know what you mean about the leaning Turbomaster/Innovation so if I find the part you need to correct this Ialso would have no issues doing a swap or something.

I will have a look to see if I have the part you need and let you know.

Cheers guys,
