numatic david for sale

[alexhoovers94]

Yh, I was shaking when I was bidding, because I put my bid in, in the last 40 seconds and it said confirm password, I thought I wasn't gong to win it, I am really glad I have it and I am really lucky to own it especially in this condition.
It is very strange having a Purepower with Autosense.

Here is the rating sticker by the way.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Are all the other parts including the brushroll and motor in good condition? Does it have a permabag?


 


That serial number says it was made in week 21 of 1997 so its a very early model!! What a find!


 


You should never sell this as it will be VERY collectable in the future.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Could you start a new thread about this vac - it needs one all of its own. Hard to believe that this is 16 years old. One of the very earliest Purepowers, and the one with the bells and whistles too. How much did it cost you all in?

 

[alexhoovers94]

The Undercarriage wheels had also broken which controls the Automatic nozzle raise so that will need replacing which is also cheap, black and readily available.
The bag full light Doesn't work but I am hoping that will be working fine again after all the dust has been cleared out of the pressure switch and tube (fingers crossed).
Everything else is fine, perfect infact. It doesn't have a permabag, there was one model from the original line up that had Autosense and permabag, which was blue, but the flag ship model (my one) had Autosense and S-class filtration.

I also thought that it was from the 21st week of 1997 by the Candy dating system, and don't worry, it isn't going anywhere soon, and I will let you know when it does. don't hold your breath though! haha!

 

[madabouthoovers]

The bag full light may not work because the small tube has enlarged over the years and leaks pressure, where it pushes onto the connections, or it may well be blocked. The hose could have fallen off altogether, or a wire may have come detached.


 


I always just nip the enlarged ends of the tiny tube off with scissors to make it a tight fit again so no air leaks through.

Here is the chassis you need:

[madabouthoovers]

Might be cheaper to buy another old Purepower and rob the parts you need off it lol

 

[alexhoovers94]

I also had a look and found the parts a little bit cheaper on eBay "Buyspares" the company is called, it is genuine as well.

I think you are right about getting an old Purepower to take the parts off.

I started a new thread by the way.

 

[ultimatevacman]

That David is awesome! It's such a shame it's so far away though.

 

[ultimatevacman]

This one's all mine now, seller was very nice too! Not bad for £50.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Steve, it is safe in my hands now, here is a quick before

 

[madabouthoovers]

I see you managed to get the seller to end the item early? how about a thread about this vac Alex - come on lad, we want pics of all these new purchases lol

 

[alexhoovers94]

I did indeed words of persuation does it! There will be a thread on it when it is all done, so all in good time!
The Purepower bits have been ordered so the thread should be finished in the next few days.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Of course, ending the item early helps the seller as well, as they don't pay a FVF, or any Paypal fees if you paid COC.


Look forward to seeing the finished results.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Thanks Steve

 

[madabouthoovers]

Alex - hows the renovations coming on? Any pics or vids yet? Activity is quiet on your youtube account?

 

[parwaz786]

Steve Do you Have a Youtube Account? I will sub you

 

[madabouthoovers]

I do, but I haven't got any vids on it, I am hopeless at doing them and would make a fool of myself, so I just use my acct to praise other members vids - especially Alexhoovers94, who does the best vids by far - long, informative and interesting. Alexhoovers94 is the best member of VL at doing Vac videos although I don't think he realises this.


 


This is Alexhoovers's brilliant channel:

[alexhoovers94]

Oh gosh, really? I thought they were way to long and boring, I don't blame anyone for skipping through them! Lol

 

[madabouthoovers]

No Alex - the longer the better (within reason). what's the point in making a video if its only 30 seconds or so long? Your 15 minute vids of the likes of the Turbopower 2's and the airstream are very good - Although you are like Mrs Columbo, we get to hear about you but never actually see you. George and Joe are the same, although I did get a glimpse of Joe's long fringe on one vid lol. Why hide your faces?

 

[ultimatevacman]

I don't really mind if I show my face or not, but George doesn't seem to like doing it lol. I'm just not sure if I want to reveal my face to the internet! lol. I could make a video with my face in it if you like.


 


Long fringe? Generally just long hair lol.

 

[madabouthoovers]

I have my face on my youtube profile - lol, not everyone is a paedophile or weirdo, and its a bit more friendly to see people rather than just their crotches and/or legs on vac videos. I cant understand why George wont show faces but understand his decision - it may be that his parents have forbidden it as you are only young. Long hair is fashionable at the moment anyway aint it? especially ski-slope fringes, as in the early 80's fashion.

[alexhoovers94]

Now now, there is nothing wrong with seeing crotches, lol.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Trust you to see the dirty side of it - but sometimes its nice to see a face so you know who is doing the demo - just like Roger here:

 

[alexhoovers94]

There you go, that's me

 

[madabouthoovers]

Whats wrong with that? you look like a bouncer lol

 

[alexhoovers94]

Do I? Lol, Unfortunately, the camera doesn't love me. Lol

 

[alexhoovers94]

Wow!! My hair looks MEGA greasy in that pic! I assure you it isn't, only washed it this morning! Lol.

 

[madabouthoovers]

This is one of me a couple of years back - the ugly stick certainly hit me, old overweight and cranky:
