Nice vacs

You (Numaticrule)know the story of the Cream and brown Henry in my family.
Here it is for the people that dont know:One day,I was watching the usual Henry videos,then my cousins walks in my room and we were talking,he said his dad had a Henry in his old shop,I went on a Cream and brown Henry vid and he said It was that 1.He remembers it from when were five.My uncle had sold the shop when were seven so Henry probably went to the tip.I was a bit mad,I didnt get Henry as that was when I wasn't allowed vacs.

TLDR:Had a C&B henry,went to the tip.

Wow that is a lovely HVC200 Henry! I did have one until it blew up!!

 

[delaneymeegan]

"it blew up!!"?


 


How does that happen?

A recent sighting of a Henry on 'the TV machine'

 


 


of what I believe is a 70s Henry commercial vac.  It's an episode of Are You Being Served from 1978.


 


Mr. Harmon is busy using said vacuum, in the opening scene.  He even gives us an elementary narration on how vacuums operate.


Notice the extra long, wide diameter hose and wand set.

Were these made with all metal?


 


As for the video- have you try a search for "Are you being served- Bliss Girl" or add season 6 episode 5 to the search.

Yes,they were an all metal build.Theh were originally designed for cleaning up after boiler service men.I wi search for the video when I get back to my PC rig.

That's deffo an old one. It was possibly the 70's version of a nv750. It was made to clean boilers etc.
