Phillips P60

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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

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!!
