Great stuff Seamus.

It looks superb - immaculate even.

Great to have the instruction manual etc too.

Wonderful that another model of cleaner has a well preserved UK representative.

Have fun.

I never realised this model existed till I saw this on Ebay -I think it will stay unused(although it will take a Turbopower paper bag so that may change....).

I guess I was surfing at the right time - it was a buy it now -so I did!

Now that's a great buy, really nice.. I wouldn't use it either. Just plug it in to run up off the floor I would.

That's incredible!

Congrats!

Yo Seamus!

So that machine is all original?? Wild. Looks like it has a dirt tube muffler, like the US Conquest upright. Those machines arent too loud and with that muffler it would be even quieter.

About that outer bag: I ordered a NOS Hoover bag made of that same material not too long ago. When i opened it, i noticed it had a very odd odor. When i slid the top off for the first time it tore very easily. The bag had dry rot allover. The threads would turn to dust when rubbed between my fingers. I hope your bag is much stronger!

Its amazing that this machine was produced until the end of the 80s!

You were on of the Hoover Commercial fans I was refering to lol .

Yup its all original as it left the factory- the instructions refer to that bag setup etc.

The bag is fine- that sucks about your NOS one, maybe it had been stored somewhere where it had picked the rot up

Ive attached the link to the auction, although it was listed as new I wasnt convinced, but it was just dirt . It had possibly been stored in a garage going on the small ammount of rust on the baseplate but ive sorted that .

Oh the seller agreed to post it thankfully otherwise I wouldnt have been lucky enough to get it .

That is a beautiful commercial model indeed. Love the colors! I'm astounded a machine with this much steel was still available 20 years ago. By stark contrast here in the states we already had the Hoover Elites. Seems like U.K. got to hold onto the better models for a longer period of time. IIRC, the Dial-A-Matic/Convertible was available over there up until 1989 as well. A full 10 years after being discontinued here.

 

[seamusuk]

Ok so I read the manual properly....

Spot the difference lol....

Ok a closeup

[seamusuk]

Yup.......

It was kinda obvious lol- the bag slide fits on the INNER`bag - looks so much better . Obviously it stays in place if you use a paper bag !
