Phillips P60

[beko1987]

Cheers Mad, I love doing it! Even if I just pass them on or sell them, I like to renew their lives, and I can say I've taken one apart!

I had to replace the sponge bit that seals the bag down, used one of my daughters bath sponges that we never use on her

 

[beko1987]

The cloth bag sits in the bag compartment, then the paper bag goes inside that. I'll waste it putting it in the paper bag all the time, and I don't want it to stain the cloth one so I'll try and tape it inside the bag compartment out of the way. Did briefly think of opening it up again and secreting it but probably won't.

Sorry for the rubbish pic. Next to the only thing close enough to age I have.

 

[beko1987]

I don't think I've ever seen a black cyclone before. Is it a special?

 

[jmurray01]

Two questions - "opening it up all the time", what do you mean ?

Secondly, what do you mean by secreting it ?

I'm sorry to be a pain but I'm confused!

 

[beko1987]

I'll stop spamming this thread now!

Apart from some video's!!

Off to write the rebuild up properly! Watch this space...

 

[beko1987]

It kicks the DC05's behind (see the other thread for a similar video in a sec!)

The black cyclone was one of the last DC07s to be produced about 2008/2009 - It was an end of line argos exclusive - very basic with no clutch, called the Precision. That one above I sold 3 weeks back for £55. The dirty one on the other thread I bought today for £14.50 spares or repairs - I'll be refurbing it and selling it on, as I already have 2 DC07's in my collection. I take it you will be selling on that P60? sounds like the Inland revenue tax form you get each year lol - wonder of they made a P45?

 

[beko1987]

Lol ok J, I'll try and explain (will try, as said air freshener is sat on my desk out of bounds until Monday!)

Imagine something the size of a pen lid, that is the air freshener. Was thinking of taping it onto here somewhere, imagine the smell will still permeate the air.

Bag Compartment.

 

[jmurray01]

You know Steve I knew it rung a bell!

 

[jmurray01]

OK, now I know what you meant about secreting it (I did all along it seems now you've explained it) but what do you mean about opening it up all the time ?

 

[beko1987]

Yea will sell it fairly soon, quick project and all. May start doing a few more. It doesn't owe me much at all.

Cloth bag, goes inside the bag compartment first (and seals it all together).

Could drop it in here, but I don't know if it will stain the cloth bag. Plus it will get dusty, and I'm not going to use this until it's full ever.

 

[beko1987]

I didn't say open it up all the time, I meant I could tape it up inside the case somewhere, but if it stank and had to go, I'd have to open it up again to get it. Didn't want some collector in 40 years getting hold of it (in hopefully as good condition) and finding the remains wrapped around something!

Just me being picky. Will bring it home on Monday (will see what else we have).

If it's rubbish then I'll just febreeze the cloth bag

 

[madabouthoovers]

Are you gonna sell it on Ebay? collection only or courier? what sort of price are you gonna be look for for it - dont start it at 99p though unless you want to end up selling it for that!

 

[jmurray01]

I see now!

I wish I could afford to buy it from you but the bank says no. I hope it goes to a good home.

Personally when I fix a vacuum up I like to keep it, but everybody is different.

 

[madabouthoovers]

A few drops of scented burner oil on the bag will keep it smelling nice - done that a fair few times on my bagged cleaners

 

[beko1987]

Was thinking ebay, not for 99p, but won't start it for more than £20, I'm a realist, not one of those people that list a 119 with new white cable, rust and bojack bag for £140 bin!

Would be courier, I used MyHermes to ship the Kirby G5 System, cost £20. Wasn't too impressed when they didn't pick it up on the day, but a quick email bagged me a 20% code and daily email updates!

J - I'd love to keep everything I found, and one day, maybe I will. If this was complete then I'd keep it, but space is limited so saving it for Turbopowers or other OMFG items!

Would consider a swap though... Still, in the future for now, will use it as a daily driver for a while, incase I never see one again!

 

[jmurray01]

Indeed, you may not as they are quite rare, so enjoy that one while you have it!

 

[beko1987]

Oooh, got me contemplating now. Need to rope in some child labour in the form of my girlfriends 15yo cousin. She fits into our tiny loft really well, and can stack the boxes of cleaners right at the back. May see if there is space for one more then...

Still, it'll probably sit upstairs for a few weeks yet. Still on the fence about keeping the Lux 414. Must find some modern tat to fix and sell to justify them to the missus...

 

[jmurray01]

If it will fit, keep it!

I'll even come and put it here for you for a bottle of Scotch and a Roy Orbison LP...

 

[jmurray01]

I mean "put it there". It's past midnight, that's my excuse!

 

[beko1987]

Lol thanks for the offer!

Just ruined my fingers typing this up...It;s the full stripdown of the P60.

Hope you enjoy, I'm off to bed!!
