I thought I had already done a thread about this one, but I obviously didn't, ahh well, here we go.
Here is my Turbopower 2 U2462, this was the most basic Turbopower 2 that was available from the original line up, which consisted of the U2462 the basic, bag light only model, U2464 Autosense and U2466 Autosense and Permabag System 2.
I got this Turbopower 2 from eBay for only a fiver, mainly because I only had Autosense models and wanted a standard model but also, it was from my area which was only a 5 minute drive to pick up, so I didn't give it a second thought.
It did need a good clean and unfortunately I have no before pictures to show you but I can assure you it was dirty! The motor bearings were and still are bad, it kind of sounds like it was missing some fan blades (which they are not, they are intact) the amount it vibrates when turned on is ridiculous! Like I said before, I don't think Turbopower 2/3/1000 motors are serviceable, but, I could be wrong, I will have to get another 800 watt donor machine or just get another 800 watt motor from somewhere.
Despite the motor it also has a split bag door (how surprising!!!) but other than that it is in quite good condition with some marks but no cracks anywhere, which, to be honest, the Turbopower 2's didn't really break that easily anyway, well, other than the bag door splitting, they were overall VERY sturdy, it is the sturdiest "plastivac" I have ever used.
Here she is...
