You will have seen the pictures from the last UK meet in the Off Topic forum. I was a bit too busy to take photos at the time but before I put the cleaners back into their storage I thought I would share some pictures of my cleaners which were out on display
I was aiming for some cleaners that are not seen so often
but there just HAD to be some Hoovers. This is not quite as it was on the weekend as Mike very kindly brought his rare Burgundy Dial A Matic. He did offer to leave it in my temporary care, but I had to decline - I was not sure I could give it back!. So my Concept 1 fills in instead
1346, 1354, 1012, 1036, 1104, 2206, and a Turbo power Junior. Although I dont really consider this last one as a "proper" Junior but I wanted at least one example of this Junior
Even the one that is at least 73 years old (at the front). And note that I have paid attention to our own DysonAnimal so that I have not run the cleaners with the handles upright
I did chuckle a bit for, when the 375 was started I got a load of carbon dust (thinking of a recent thread) but its older sister (370) soon put paid to that, as every trace was removed from the carpet (after this picture was taken!). The 370 is one of my favourites ....
This was very much a budget model, owing a considerable amount of its design to the Lux 91/94 and Hoover Freedom., There should be a name panel around the switch at the rear
As it has cable clips around the handle. These were "badged" by our electricity boards for years, but they seem rare. My thanks to Gary (Electron1100 over on AW.org) for this one. The Cable really is shot, but want to keep it as its original. It would have been competition for the Lux 65/80 & Hoover Harlequin 419/429
To compensate for the low wattage motor - an old Goblin trick, This picture ties to show how, the tube for this cleaner easily fits inside the tube of the larger Goblin
