well i won this on "The Land Of Ebay" for £26.25 inc P+P so thats good. Well when i got her i noticed the fan was broke But oh well i might one day get a new one. I did only get her for more looks than using (Sad I know haha) But i still cleaned her up few pics as usual. Please excuse the mess in the first few pics Before video as well

[vacuumlover]

if anyone can date this i would really appreciate!

 

[vacuumlover]

i love this huge badge!

i dont know why lol

 

[vacuumlover]

Random white powdery stuff under the royal appointment plate thing and the headlight lens all cracked and discoloured

 

[vacuumlover]

Dusty!

Dusty motor and wishy washy time for the bag and fill tube

 

[vacuumlover]

A random 9 or 6 on the motor don't know why?

 

[vacuumlover]

Wish they used this on the Juniors

I really prefer this spring thing compared to the "Belt" on the juniors to hold the bag on. Even though when i was putting it back onto the fill tube it pinged off and hit the window lol

@anthony

I didn't know you were a collector. Its been a nice little project for me anyway lol. Sure i would really appreciate it.

 

[guido]

you said it right !

This really IS a SEXY BEAST !
This machine does not seem to have been used too much, but simply "badly used".
This Pine-green version is my very favourite senior of the 652 series ! I have one in very good condition.
Emma, I suppose you will find a new fan very very easily, even if the bag might take a longer time and patience, but there are many machines for sale on ebay.co.uk ( I regularly search for VINTAGE HOOVER or VINTAGE SENIOR ), some are for spares or not working ( this is not a rare machine yet, anyway ) so you might be lucky to replace both the bag and the front lens that seems to be cracked. And of course - like I do - save the rest of the parts for you future restorations ! Cheers from Italy ! GUIDO
