Why I collect vacuums

[vacuumlover]

Well I thought ill'd do this post just to share why I collect and to see why other people do. So anyway,I've always been fascinated by vacuums i don't really know why but when i was about 11 ish i took apart an old burnt out vacuum just because i was bored and i was intrigued in how it worked so after a bit of fiddling i was just fascinated! But i didn't have the money to start collecting so i put that a side. Then one day (can't remember how old i was lol) i found the U2716 and this video will explain the rest:
Then as the video explains the U2716 sparked my interest in collecting so basiclly i just flew off into collecting! So after her(or him!) i just adore old vacuums ( juniors, TP's etc) and this is going to sound weird lol but i kind of felt sorry when i see these old vacuums on ebay all neglected and dusty in need of some TLC.I just love stripping it down and cleaning every inch of it,getting it back up to health and seeing it in my collection. Also I love thee sound of two motor uprights. Especially when the brush roll motor is whiny like this one:

Ill go into a little about my vacuums so, as of writing this i currently have 5 in the collection and im eying up 2 more lol Lets hope i get my hands on those!

So, i have a Turbopower "Boost" U2716 dated February 1993

a Junior U1012 dated August 1976
a junior U1036 (Still needs to be cleaned up,ill post a link when done) not sure on the date

a Senior 652A (Not sure on the date)
And finally a Numatic Henry HVR-200-A2 from new

Well, Thats about me and my collection lol I would love to hear why you collect anyway enough from me fornow Happy collecting!

Hi vacuumlover

the senior is looking good when i put it on ebay i also put this old 612 on as well someone did bid on it but never bothered to contact me after winning it so i was just wondering if you would like it if you pay the postage you can have it .Its in good working order the motor has been lubricated it has new brushes [carbon and sweeper]new belt and new flex the bag has a paper one inside to protect the outer one .I already have a fully restored one of these and dont have room for another so if yoy would like it let me know regards Tony ps the 612 is the brown one

@anthony

Ooh! I did say to myself no more but thats tempting! How much postage?

 

[anthony]

i really dont know

but i would imagine it will be about the same as it was for the Senior It comes apart just like the senior so the package will be the same size will find out and let you know

 

[anthony]

hello again

well it looks like its going to cost around £15 to post the hoover .Its all metal so you can imagine quite heavy .

 

[vacuumlover]

@anthony
