Hoover junior U1012

well there was a moth flying around my room and it landed on the ceiling, so I got a ribber weight from a knitting machine which is about 1kg and I went to squash it with that, then it moved and I shit myself then dropped the weight and the Junior was underneath it and I heard this rather loud SMASH noise, I thought "CHRIST, do I want to look" so I looked down and saw lots of little orange bits of plastic and there was a huge hole in the cover plate!! I spent an hour, latterly, going "oh my god, I don't believe it"

Lol, never mind, all is fine now, I will take better care of this one!

Inside of my bag was worse!

Mine looked fine from the outside but jesus was i wrong lol
The previous owner didnt put the paper bag on properly so there was a gap and this happened

AH I REMEMBER that scenario very well. I used to vacuum the soft bag out and then take the whole thing off and chuck it in the washing machine.

when mum

eventualy decided to empty the bulging sack on the junior she would usually take it outside take the bag off then switch on and let it have a good blow [blowing dust onto next doors windows] then fit a new bag and belt and then back in the house for a fiew more weeks or till it was full to bursting again i once saw her put an old pillow case on as a temporary fix till she could get to the shop for a pack of bags.Dad would use the machine with the tools fitted to clean the car at least once a week the one day in 1970 i came home from school to find a brand new in the box Hoover Conquest on the floor in the lounge wish i still had that i would be a very happy man
