Hoover Turbopower U2806 (mail order) 1996

So I have always found this cleaner fascinating, mainly due to the handle being the same color as the machine, stellar red I believe , anyway here are some pic of the before, the refurb process, and the finished product, I got this from ebay for £13.49, and as you can see it is very dusty and dirty, the mounts for the body have been tightened way to tigh on the machine to the point where I couldn't recline it at first, the bearings were dry but are now lubed and smoothn anyway here it is.

This belt must of not been changed for quite a while, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the original one.

Very basic wiring on these standard models.

 

[thekirbylover]

Due to the wires being the same color I had to improvise and color one in with a sharpie.

 

[thekirbylover]

The switch.

Here are all the bits, ready for the bath.

 

[thekirbylover]

Here is everything getting a hot soak.

And drying.

Now to start on its motor.
