Ever since I was a small lad, I've loved the Hoover Galaxy. I remember seeing them brand new in department stores, and had the brochures that came with them. Of course, what with them being bloody rare, I never actually owned one.
Until a few weeks ago, when I became the proud owner of an Electronic 1400w SC228! It's brilliant. Is based on a Hoover Commpact from the same era, but it has great airflow, is manouverable and just looks so damn good!
I find the plastic extension tubes that came with it painfully short so borrowed the tubes from my DC02, which makes it useable. I finished giving it the spa treatment yesterday, and she is as done as she can be for the moment, need to try and find a new top bearing as it's pretty worn, but they aren't available any more!
I did a short* rebuild thread on it here...
