Great vac there Alex. These were bloody everywhere when I was a kid. My Aunt Sally and Aunty Dee both had them. My grandma had the red lower spec model that ran alongside it. I knew of loads near where we lived too.

Thanks, yh it is indeed an early one 
I love the red one, my friend mike has the red one, nice and basic.
I just need a new motor for my U2602, the armature is bent so instead of just replacing the armature, I will just replace the entire motor. I thought it would be quicker than messing around trying to find the correct speck armature.
If anyone has a 450 watt turbopower that I can by for spares I would be very thanful, or just a motor, but it must be 450 watts and two speed, preferably, if not I can always switch out the feild coil.

there were actually about 3 different versions of "the red one" with no distinguishing features to the average person. The earlier ones were 450w. There was later a 575w version and later still, a 600w version. The later 2 models used a rather nasty, cheap plastic-housed motor and very little sound insulation, which made they ear splittingly loud (even compared with the earlier models).

Some of the 450 watt turbopowers from the mid 90's had a plastic casing around the motor unlike the older black casing, the freedom to my knowlege was 450 watt and the boost was 575 watt and they were both out at the same time, the 575 watt was out at the same time as the 450 watt, to my knowledge.
