That looks like the beastie.... Thanks, Alex.... I'll still call it 'K9', though..... ;)

Keep me posted about the TP3.... Hope you didn't forget to take the 'before' photo.... ;)

All best

Probably YDK, But I never come across a DC01 with the serial Number that has 600 on it tho, but I think its most likely YDk
 
"Hope you didn't forget to take the 'before' photo"
I certainly didn't, I took 4 before photo's in total, and will be posted on the thread (when I make it) but here is a sneak peak.
It has been completely disasembled and bathed in warm soapy water, just waiting for it to dry and then I can reasemble it, polish it and then I will be ready to make a thread, probably will be up some time next week. :)

Alexhoovers - RichardC

I don't remember it looking (quite) that grotty, Alex, but deliberately didn't wipe it down, so you got a better (more honest) before shot. Was there any 'vintage dirt' in the permabag?? I thought it felt a bit heavy when I put it in the car, but hadn't time to check it out. I also hadn't noticed the missing duct cover... :(

RichardC... I have just 'powered up' the DC07... Motor runs, brush spins, suction at nozzle, no abnormal noise. Unable to do a 'working' test as in garage.

Double-checked DC01 serial number... It is correct

There is still an Electrolux 'The Boss' up for grabs...

All best

Your welcome Joe :) I like the DC01 because I grew up with one :D it brings back childhood memories but I sadly burn thye motor out bwecause when I was a toddler, I always used it too much, and it broke in about 2 years just cos of me :( we would have still had it probably, but we put it in the shed, and some idiot burglar took it!!! but it was all junk in the shed anyways :D
 
Cool, it's a shame it got stolen. I don't think a burglar will find much use for a broken Dyson.

I really like Dyson's and I hope to get more of them soon :)

Also, it's the same story here with the DC04, I grew up with one :)
 
Is that the same TP3 I got last week? With permabag?

It sure is, TOL, only yours, unfortunately is missing the little LED "light cover" thing for the "boost" light, If I can get one of the LED "light covers" out of my Turbopower 1000 (spare one) you can have it :).

Dave, that is just how it came, I didn't do anything to it, the spots on it are from the spitting of the rain that probably made it look worse but with no offence here, it was FILTHY :P I do respect you didn't do anything to it either. There was nothing in the Permabag, just some hairs wrapped around the "Dirt Release Tounges" don't worry about the duct cover, on this model it would of been a "quick release dust channel" so it just clipped on and off for blockage inspections (the older models didn't have this, it just unscrewed) so as it just clips on, I can understand it being missing, they are easy to get hold of on eBay, anyway. :)

To top that all off Dave, I can't complain, I paid nothing for it! :)
 
"we put it in the shed, and some idiot burglar took it!!!"


Why in the name of all that's holy would you steal a DC01?!?! The burglars must of been desperate for a sweeper...I mean vacuum! :P


 
 
LOL they took the DC01, 2 bikes that we didnt need, and one ofd them was broken btw
and a Foot spa LOL
 
George...

mine isn't missing the light cover, I said I noticed yours was.

That is why I said if I can get one off my spare TP1000 you can have it

If you look close at the pic I took of it (above) you can see it has all the light covers

Oh, sorry, George!

I miss read your post and thought that you thought my TP3 was missing the light covers too! So forget that what I just put, haha.


 


if I can get two off the spare 1000 you can have them :D
 
Joe:- LMAO we have loads of scrap people taking things, we always see these trampy men with push chairs looking into people's porches, and they even open the people's household waste bin bags! EWW
 
The boss

Dave,

If the boss is still available I'll collect them all at the same time as might have found a home for that too lol.

Regards
Richard.
 
The Boss

.... Is now yours, RichardC.....

I'm still looking around to see what other 'goodies' I may have....

All best

Dave T


P.S. Today I visited a friend who has a new Dyson DC33... Quite impressive...
 
Collected

I took a trip down yesterday to collect the vacuums in awful driving conditions lol! Set off at 12 and got back home for about 1745 using half a tank of fuel lol! However all collected and appear to be in working order. Have given the DC07 and the boss a good clean up and am deciding which one to keep and give to my mum. I require a few parts for the DC07 such as a new dirt bin as the current one the bottom just drops out when it is removed as the clip that holds the bottom there is broken. Find the tools on a DC07 very difficult to use the hose is horrendous if you only need a small attachment and don't need to reach the ceiling lol.

Many thanks Dave :)

The DC01 which I collected for Joe (ultimatevacman) may be available for someone else to have as he doesn't appear to want it now - anyone would like can collect from me.

It doesn't have a power cord on it.

Regards
Richard.[this post was last edited: 5/10/2013-11:36]
 
Richard

Glad you've successfully collected your cleaners.

It's a pity that we were unable to meet.... When you finally found my place, I was about six miles away, trying to unload a machine which SHOULD have been available for collection on the Wednesday, which would have left me free on the Thursday. Unfortunately the supplier 'hadn't got any warehouse staff available to load it' on Wednesday, so tying up two days of my time.... :@


When you said 'half a tank of fuel', was that the local traffic at this end??? It is a nightmare without 'local knowledge'... ;)

Enjoy!!

Dave T
 
It's cool David traffic was really bad all way home so was prob best I left when I did.

Found your place no problem really easy with the Tom Tom. :)
