I pick up my new Turbopower later

[dysondestijl]

Well Alex mine doesn't have it's original 575 watt motor, it has he replacement motor from an older red 2 speed model, that's why it sounds different

Right. I've stripped the tp down now and cleaned it up. Waiting for it to dry. However the plastic is very brittle, and it has been glued back together before internally. 2 screw fixings snapped on me too annoyingly.

What is best to stick the plastic back together with? It has to be strong as heck!

Will get some pictures of the progress in a sec

Araldite or grip fill

I have found those to be the best. My friend mike has a basic red Total System U2798 and the handle locking piece with the groves out of it where the white plastic thing slides onto it attached to the bottom side of the body on the handle release pedal side (yes that sounds confussing) had snapped off all together. I thought it was totally hopeless. I bunged a load of araldite on it and left it for a day then put it all back together and although there is a lot of leverage on the handle it stands up perfectly straight and is as hard as... Nearly lost it there is as hard as a nail. I did that about six months ago and is till holding up strong, so if it worked for that it should work on some screw fixing holes.

I know what you mean Alex. That's promising then, if it'll hold that much weight

Lovely manual, thanks for posting that. I have the manual for my total system, all my other turbo powered are manual-less

 

[beko1987]

And so, into storage

Well, I've dailied it a bit, used it with the tools and generally enjoyed it, but tonight I stripped the U1220 down and packed her into a box

for tonight anyway, forgot to bring bubblewrap home so will finish it tomorrow

 

[beko1987]

Good job too, as taking it apart a screw thread I repaired previously snapped off. Will pack the tools in the box too, as they are getting in the way, and are in good condition, so the ensemble can sty together. Hopefully got a manual on the way too, so another complete kit!

Ironically I'm boxing it up in its replacements box, a 2100w bagged purepowerless box.

And the refurbishment in full, that I can't remember if I've already posted or not...
