Hoover [junior] U1104

[anthony]

while on my rounds at work on tuesday i found this standing next to a cluster of dustbins the bag was missing so i had a little look around thinking if someone is chucking a hoover out there not going to keep the bag i looked in the bins and sure enough there it was in the last one .i understood imediatly why the bag was not on the machine it was so full it must have become detached because it was so heavy i put the whole lot in the car and forgot about it just got it out this morning and started to strip it so heres a fiew pictures of the strip down

Interesting to see, not like one I have seen over here. Quite nasty fella, seems to be turning around quickly.Nice job

Anthony,

Whilst I have little doubt that these would fit a 541, I doubt they would be quite that old as they seem to be in such excellent condition. I think that fundamentally the same tool kit was used for all "coffee can" Hoovers. Another nice catch - along with the 1104
