Forgot to say....

The tool suction on these is pretty impressive- better than the tools attached models!

 

[seamusuk]

LOL!

Hey Ian

Sorry

If I told you what this cost me youd hit me

Seamus

 

[ian88]

I know what it cost thats half of why i'm annoyed

lol

buy it now as well, bloody buy it now

of course i've got that lux 400 that nobody seems to want in my sights ;p

 

[seamusuk]

LOL!

Ian

Good luck with the Lux- not my kinda thing so dont worry lol!.

I ment youd hit me if I said the Turbomaster and tools set me back £15 in total.

*Ducks and waits for slap*

good old charity shops ;p car boot sale? local tip

Well, I bidded on the lux..I won't divulge how much I bidded..but if a certain gentleman with more money than sense bids £100 I won't be a very happy young man ;p

Hey Seamus,

Nice looking TM, we never had that model down here. How many different models where thier without on board tools

Mark

 

[ian88]

Just realised that appears to be a total system but without the onboard tools ;p

A rarity?

 

[seamusuk]

Turbomasters without on board tools....

Ian

Yup the do seem rarer than the Total system versions- probably because there was very little price difference between the Total systems and the tooless versions plus a tool kit.

Mark

There were 3 versions- the U5080 was TOL with electronic power control and rewind. The U5078 lacked the rewind and power control- its a kinda blueish lilac colour. The softbag model(number escapes me) was a pastel blue.

Ian...

The Turbomaster came from the local Salvation Army Charity shop, I paid £10 for the cleaner a few months back then the Tools appeared a couple of weeks ago for £5 .

I dont know if them getting a tool kit was coincidience, or if it came in with the cleaner and got seperated in their back room- seeing how much stuff was in there id strongly suspect the latter lol!.

I also picked up a 1224 Junior with the Turbomaster tools, that was £15 but I suspect it would have been less if I hadnt looked as eager lol!!- I dont mind though as I think the Sally Army do fantastic work

The instructions.....

I forgot to say- oddly there dosent appear to be a missing page, but they have no reference in them to changing the belt!.

As anyone who has changed the belts on one of these(or an Innovation obviously) knows its a right PITA! so youd think they may have mentioned it lol!

Seamus

 

[ian88]

Maybe it's direct drive =p

lol one does wonder when hoover first experimented with that, I bet it was with a turbomaster

shame hoover/lux etc prototypes prob ended up in the skip after use, unlike with say, cars.

nice to see them together!

A TM with proper pip-fitting tools, hurrah! I'm suprised that Hoover didn't take the oppurtunity to include a longer hose though - I bet pelmets are a nightmare with any TM lol.
