Dave,
Il be keeping ym eyes peeled for a brown floor tool. I think I have one in the storage unit but until the weather here in a rainy UK improves I dont fance having a look.
Simon,
Shall I be truthfull? Both the 500 and Junior Deluxe were found in the same charity shop strangely with the Lux 614 that sneaks into one of the pics.
I nearly had kittens when I saw them and tried to contain all my excitement. The shop owner thought I was going to have a fit when I saw them and dashed outside to tell Paul and Mathew to get inside lol.
All 3 cost less than what postage would have cost to have them posted so I just couldnt leave them. Been a lucky couple of weeks with these finds for sure.
We dated the Junior to 1980 does that ring true with you or would it be 1970? 70 seems early.
ANyway this weekend Paul sourced some bags for it and I have used it around the house. I cant believe how nice it is to use. Im not a fan of Juniors (ouch) as I find them too low and im not keen on the handle attaching to the cleaner right at the back where it does. I actually find it hard to use with the shape of the cleaners head not being square if that makes sense.
The box seems to make it more conventional in a sense to me rather like a TP. Weird I know but thats how it is.
The 500 also has a boxed set of original tools which had hardly been used with a rather nice colour co-ordinated blue and white hose to match the cleaner.
Should post pics at some point when I get chance.
