Hoover 1346

[ziggyzig]

Hi Guys,
I have recently acquired a hoover 1346 and was wondering if anyone on the site has a set or spare set) of tools for this model that they may consider selling to me. I have searched ebay but to no avail.

any help would be greatly appreciated

regards
David

One thing I suppose I should mention is to go around as many vac repair shops as you can, one place in Colne (Lancashire), where I used to live, the fella said he had a couple of sets of Junior tools, though at the time I wasn't interested in acquiring them, so you never know, there may be a repair shop hanging on to such things waiting for someone to buy them...

Junior tools

Come up on ebay all the time and usually for modest cost.

So it was YOU who put in that ridiculous maximum bid . Glad to see it's gone to a good home

 

[ziggyzig]

sorry, were we bidding against each other?

Been trying to get a junior in good condition for a long time.

I'm not very good at repair jobs so wanted one that was in good condition, i know most guys on here are able to restore old vacs but I'm no good at that.

Sorry

David

Don't worry about David, I'm glad it's gone to a good home . I understand completely - I'm the same. I'm a whiz at cleaning up the body of old machines and I can do minor repairs. Ask me to do something with a motor and you've no chance lol.

I also have a 638, whats the best thing to use to get the hood really shiney again?

I use T-Cut on all my machines to remove scuffs and light scratches, then use either standard furniture polish on a plastic machine to buff it up or car wax on a painted metal machine.

There's also this stuff called Micromesh, which apparently works wonders on plastics:

Junior Tools

On ebay right now - these look to be in excellent condition, if they have been used at all.

Tools

David

Yes, they will fit the 1346, thats why I posted the link in the first place ....

Never mind about this auction, they come up plenty of times, indeed there is at least one used hose as part of a much wider selection of used tools - but the adaptors included in that lot are of the earlier type and are not compatable.

Mick - are you completely loopy?
You are entirely at liberty to place a competing bid and to set your maximum at whatever you want - ebay is a public forum and it is your right to bid as you wish - but why on earth did you disclose what your maximum bid is? Do you not realise than any one on ebay can log in, bid up to £99.99 so as not to exceed your max. so you end up paying £100 for a set of tools which are by no means rare - even in this condition.

[hoovermanmick]

no but no one in the right mined is gunn bid at that price

 

[sebo_fan]

Oh ye of little faith. Have you seen the condition of the parts? From the photo supplied it does look like a set that has been well kept - and even the box isn't that bad. I don't think the bid price is that bad - someone wants it, and it may not receive as many bids.
