Parcel arrived, what could it be?

And on another Junior note - Am I seeing things, or is that really the winning bid!?

If my '77 Ranger is worth anything near that value in the future, I'll be a happy man.

Yes mate thats one. I have esactly the same only without orginal bag and i need a few junior spares.
Do you have msn? Would love to chat more!

 

[jmurray01]

Yep I do, it is [email protected] if you want to add me.

 

[Jakesvacs]

Added you!
Well some things sell well some dont. You would be surprised.

 

[juniorsenior]

I was going to buy that tonight but just for the sake of it really because i dont really like the colour of it and i already have 3 Juniors, just as well the missus would have fell out with me.
Theres another one just like it on Ebay but at a much higher starting price.

 

[jmurray01]

@Jakesvacs It isn't showing up for some reason. Hmm...

 

[juniorsenior]

Heres 3 of my machines for a photoshoot.

 

[jmurray01]

Oh my... That Senior is just stunning... Utterly stunning!

 

[juniorsenior]

Its only a year younger than your Ranger made in 76 a CO OP special. it was my nannas and had been lying for about 15 years in a cupboard where i had hid it because i had been told to throw it out.
I got clean a new plug and belt and it started up on the button and works great and my wife loves it so we got rid of the Dyson to use this.

 

[Jakesvacs]

All them vacs are stunning! Sorry for buying that junior, i needed the parts badly to make mine complete. I want that carpet you got, it looks very nice!

Does anyone know how to change the cord hooks?

 

[jmurray01]

By CO OP you don't mean the supermarket do you!?

Wow, I'm surprised it is a '76, it looks like a '66!

Does it have the 400W/600W motor by any chance ?

But then again, it was made back when older styles were in fashion, not like these days when everything has to be modern to sell.

Well done for hiding it!

 

[juniorsenior]

These are my other 2 machines and a toy Junior
The 1969 652A is my experimental machine for fiddeling about with but is in great nic but had a horrible thick not standard flex on it which has now been removed.
The 1965 1334A has a non standard bag and hood cover but runs like new.
The toy junior is an Ebay purchase just like one i got for christmas 1983.

 

[juniorsenior]

@ Jamie yes it was a Co op superstore exclusive as that colour was only available to the Co op and yes its the 400w / 600w motor
@ Jake if your not fast your last i hope you enjoy your purchase.

 

[juniorsenior]

The carpet only looks good there because thats where a chair usualy sits the kids have ruined the rest of it LOL.
Ive never tries the cord hooks but its always fun finding out, Trial and error.

 

[jmurray01]

You have some nice Seniors!

Do you have a Ranger ?

 

[juniorsenior]

No that is my whole collection and thats all i plan to have but never say never.

 

[Jakesvacs]

Once shaggy type carpet goes flat, it never is the same. My nan has very thick carpet in her dining room,living room and hallway. Its so flat, old and gone sort of stickey. No shampooing and through vacuuming can make it like it was all them years ago.

 

[juniorsenior]

Yes your right but because of the kids being young it doesnt make sense to change it this now, its not that bad really.

 

[jmurray01]

The only thing you can do to prevent a thick pile carpet from going flat is to vacuum it regularly, but even then it will go eventually.

 

[juniorsenior]

Its looking good this now after i juniored it and put a bit of shake n vac down. If the missus had her way the whole house would be laminate floor.. NO WAY!
