WOW!!!! Looks like YOU are the

"HOOVER God" of Britain. Very few people would go that far. You've done a great job. KUDOS, Mr. HOOVER.

What model was the crappy vax?

the crappy vax

not sure what model it was it was orange and black with the clear dust bin on the front you know the one it should be sold with a pair of ear defenders.I didnt keep it because i already have another one and i only have a 2 bed house so i have to be selective on what i keep .the old lady [Phyliss] was over the moon with it she has had three juniors in her 90 odd year life time and only bought the vax because she could not get another as i said earlier its great to be able to spend time on a machine instead if just getting it working and back to its owner theres nothing more satisfying than switching on after a full strip down clean and reasembly.

Oh if its bagless then no wonder it could be termed "crappy".

Well Done-

I, have a Hoover Compact and a beautiful Hoover Junior, in cream and green, circa 1970's, however has never attempted to open or restored a Hoover Junior.

Apart from replacing the bearings on the roller brush and reconditioning the rollerbrush, washing the bag and so on, I have always side stepped the total refurbishment.

Maybe it is time to step into the dance and face it head on.

Thanks for the contribution.

Nice job! I had one of these, refurbed it like you did and sold it to an old lady for her upstairs machine, she was thrilled with it.

Amazing it picked that much up till the end, proves they are great!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Amazing, indeed!

I had one, the, my good friend, Bill Woods gifted me another. I also have a complete set of tools. Now, the hunt for a
'dirtsearcher" continues.

 

[beko1987]

The dirtsearchers go for silly money over here sometimes!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Well, THAT and a flip

floor nozzle are on my list! One MUST have a British representation.... EVEN "over here".

 

[watsonw]

there's nothing like

.......holding a 'chalky white' 'bedding-in' stick against the commutator and seeing a modest and even sparking is occuring, then you know the refurb is complete!

I'm shortly getting a U1104. Its the dark brown bag / cream body. Wat year would this one be?

Anthony,

A great and thorough job done, its reassuring to see that others are as fussy as myself. The 1104 was the last decent junior; knocked patches off the turbos.

Well done.

Regards, Walter, SHROPSHIRE.

Serial number

If you post the serial number it might be possible to decode it from that, you are looking early to mid-1980s
