Some more vacuums? Oooohhh why the hell not...

A few more vacuums for the collection here. A lovely Electrolux Z561 Twin Turbo and full set of unused dusting tools from April 1987, and a Hitachi cylinder (model number escapes me) from the early 80's, complete with tools.

I also picked this up the other day - not exactly vintage and it was in serious need of some attention, but a bargain for £12! Currently listed on eBay

Nice score T5

Ours is not to ask why...

Love that twinturbo! I've got the one in grey but it has no tools. Love the DC05 too!

Look at the writing on that! It is so very 1980's.

Here's the early 80's version of the Z560, with the rotary electronic power knob, and the illuminated switch that lights up when switched off and goes out when switched on - I still maintain that this was ahead of its time even in the early 80's!

Complete with the early 80's graphics:

Steve, what's the serial number on the 560? The 561 replaced the 560 as the TOL cleaner, so there isn't much between them. If you post the serial number, someone will date it for you

TOL

The 612 was technically the top of the line for 1987.
