I have to thank Seamus for the plug adapter for these machines. Not only did he send me the adapter but also a pack of UK Hoover bags and a package each of belts. Thank you Seamus for your generousity! I have had so much fun running both machines this evening that I just had to put them up on YouTube. I really wanted to keep the original ends on the cords as they are so unique. I hope everyone enjoys the videos...my first attempt at YouTube!

Hey Tom
As I said it was a pleasure to send the adaptor etc- ref the belts I believe the 652 ones are made of a softer rubber than the US Convertible belts and are more "stretchy". I know I noticed the difference when I changed the belt on the 1010 Jeff sent me.
Its very cool to see the 1334 and 652 in action
.Oh one thing- did either of them still have their original paper bags installed?- they would have the open end same as your Handisacks. If so any chance of pics?.

Red on/off switch
Getting back to what we were saying about your 652 having a red, rather than burgandy on/off switch, Seamus pointed out something I'd forgotten, when he came to visit on Monday; my 1334 has a red switch. This leads me to believe that the earliest 1334s and 652s must have all had red switches, changing to burgandy slighly later in production.
My 1334 is more than a little scratched on top, but it's in all-original condition. It's also an early one, with the metal fan cover - all that metal makes it much heavier than the later plastic bodied machines, though! I have a boxed set of tools to go with it, which are nearly mint. Sadly, although I do also have the manual, it's been partially eaten by a mouse, and is falling to pieces!

Thanks for the input on the switch colors. My 1334 also has the red switch like you show in the photo. I wonder why they changed the color?
Oh and Seamus...they both have their original paper bags in them and yes they open at the top and bottom. I wish we had this option on our machines. Seems like it would save a lot of waste if you wanted to.

Has a plastic fan cover, burgundy foot-switch, and was purchased by my Gran in December 1961 (according to the Guarantee card).

This has to be one of the greatest scores of all time.
Tom,
I just started using this site & though it has been ten years, this is a very impressive story. Shame you couldn't save more. My parents had what I think was a 652 which I enjoyed using when I was a little boy. My father taught me how to remove the hood and change the light bulb and how to replace the belt. I currently have a 1060 which serves as my go to vacuum. it is missing its lens so if you or anyone else has one to spare, I would be very grateful.
