Ive got a hoover junior 1224 from mid/late 50s that is still going strong on its original parts. This throw away s@*t drives me mad  :D :angryman:

Well some shiny new parts arrived today, thanks mvacs!

Before I stripped the head apart to wash the baseplate, I took the cover off to get a good look at the brushroll motor

I think it's dead!

The baseplate is dry now, as soon as my daughter goes to sleep I'll whip it back together with the new bits and give it a test tomorrow!

For some closure, a new motor fixed it a treat! The owner is so pleased with it, apparently when it went she consigned it to a cupboard and bought a crappy vax upright, and used it for 2 years. She said she forgot how lovely her old one was to use!

Not often I get actual feedback on a machine, so I'm glad I stripped and washed the cyclone, washed the pre motor filter and fitted an air freshener for her now!
