Finally got round to signing on again.....

Thanks guy for all the posts on the thread - great reading and viewing.

Thanks to Simon and Clark for the starlight and junior de luxe info. you do realsie what you have done dont you?

the info has spurned me on to start adding to and updating my hoover junior spreadsheet, although it will remain second in line for the time being (with Hotpoint shutting up shop at Kinmel Park at the end of July, i am rejigging my Hotpoint laundry appliances spreadsheet).
Although, thinking about it, i should be updating the Hoover laundry spreadsheet, as Merthyr Tydfil production stops this weekend!

Anyway...

Jack - what you mention about the handle was what really worried me about our machine and the postal system. they dont look particularly strong (in my opinion) and i had this image of the cleaner being sent with its body in a box, with the handle sticking out the top - or not!
Thankfully it turned up OK.

have to say that the U2068 is deffo an acquired taste! bold and brash is how i will politeley put it.
Love the green Junior De luxe Mike - lovey colour scheme.
Seeing your green junior de luxe alongside the U2332 Wedgewood Turbopower has made me think - a picture of the U2002 alongside the U2336.
two bright red uns.

Once again - thanks for all the useful info guys.
much appreciated.

Back to Hoover...

and back to a successor to the Starlight and the machine which introduced the words 'Total' and 'System' to the Autoflex Turbopowers.

Thanks go to James (kirbymodel2c) for enabling me and rob to acquire this superb example of model U2604 Turbopower Total System Autoflex and thanks again to him for great Saturday. Will set up a thread on mine and rob's afternoon at 'Kirby Central' soon!

Regards to all
Paul

Hoover 'TurboBoost'

I think this was a Currys exclusive model. If I remember rightly, to operate the boost function, the user had to physically keep the 3-position rocker switch depressed in the '+' position.

Normal Turbopower 'Plus' machines had slow and high speed settings that stayed put when selected.
