Hoover TURBOBOOST U2570 (december 1988)

[thekirbylover]

Another one of my job lot machines, from what Ive gathered the TURBOBOOST is quite a rare machine and was sold exclusively to Currys, anyway here is the restoration and after pics, as I type this the machine is drying out on a towel after a bath scrub and a rinse.

before shots.

 

[thekirbylover]

opened the bag door to find this, the bag weighed a ton.

 

[thekirbylover]

[No message]

 

[thekirbylover]

Still had the original air freshener disk strait from the 1980's.

 

[thekirbylover]

As you can see it hans't been sun damaged which this particular color named by hoover as lilac slate grey is prone to doing.

 

[thekirbylover]

The handle release doesn't seem to be working, it appears that the pedal has slipped out of its normal operating position.

 

[thekirbylover]

A very mucky set of bellows, with the older style black ratings sticker indicating this is an 80s model.

Bag door off

The underside showing the activator brush roll.

 

[thekirbylover]

As you can see the belt has been stuck in one position for a while, you can see the part of the belt where it has bent out of shape from being around the motor spindle for to long.

 

[thekirbylover]

Cleaner head cover off.

The underside of the cleaner head cover.

 

[thekirbylover]

Showing the suppressor and the wiring configuration.

 

[thekirbylover]

The motor out.

 

[thekirbylover]

Under the motor.

 

[thekirbylover]

Again showing the belt.

 

[thekirbylover]

This model came with a bag light which illuminated when full, I believe this was caused by positive and negative pressure.

 

[thekirbylover]

A well needed bath time.

 

[thekirbylover]

Some of the parts drying.

 

[thekirbylover]

Now onto the motor.

 

[thekirbylover]

Not the nicest condition.

 

[thekirbylover]

All greased, oiled and lubed

Such a Nice Find!!!

Yes, I believe those are on the rare side. I've seen one or 2 of them in some British sitcoms from the '80s & '90s!!

 

[thekirbylover]

All cleaned and ready for re assembly.

 

[thekirbylover]

The body is attached.

 

[thekirbylover]

Here is is all reassembled this still needs a polis and a coat of wax.

 

[thekirbylover]

The bags that this came with for some reason all had holes in them as if someone made a slit through the pack with scissors, so for now I have had to put some tape on them as it is a shame to waste an entire packet of genuine bags.

Here is the switch which makes the TURBOBOOST the TURBOBOOST.
