Hey James

Me like - im guessing the 1224 is all original? .

Whats the serial # of your U4003? I have a feeling that only a single batch of these were imported. My example is U400341129398 making mine( and every other example im aware of from November 74- does yours conform to this theroy????

The 504

You jammy git! .

Im not that much of a 500 series fan, but the 504 is one I would love(the 500 being the other).

Hi Seamus. The Hoover 4003s number is 400341126340 is that any help 2 you??

Yes the Hoover 1224 is all original most all come with the tools in boxes.

The lux 504 came in yesterday. Some 1 saved it me from the tip and brought it in to me.

Not bad 4 free)

November 74 it is then !

Hi James

So yours is 26340 from Nov 74 and mine is 29398 from the same month - making them 3058 apart coming off the North Canton production line .

The odd thing is I believe the U4003 was actually a 1973 model in the US (can any US members confirm that??) so ours may have been produced to use up old parts(apart from the armature/field coils obviously!!!).

There are a couple of other differences on our version...

1. The US version has Custom Convertible printed on the lens.

2. The UK version has a UK switch assembly fitted.

3. The cable running through the handle is run through an extra insulating plastic sleeve. Im guessing this and the switch were necessary for it to pass the BS Double insulation tests???

Yay!

The green Convertible U4101 is the one that started it all for me... 'Twas the first vacuum we had when I was a kid!

Hello James,

Its all looking great. Is that a 541 I see ?

Was it you that bought the 'orange question mark' type of Hoover bag ?

Regards, Walter.

 

[kirbymodel2c]

Hi Walter...

Hi Hope your ok.
Yeah I think that's a 541 model Hoover.
Nope I didn't buy the Hoover bag with the orange question mark.
It was on the machine when I got it.

Hope this helps)
