It helped that you bought a good one to start with! The only new parts are 2 agitator bearings and a belt and bag!

A nice addition to the museum arrived today.

Model: 1938 Bustler Goliath - manufactured by Vacuum Ltd. Birmingham, .no 00319

We have the original HP card showing it cost £11 to be paid in 10 shilling installments, first payment was July 1938 with payments through to 1940. It also has the letter of completion from Vacuums Ltd.

It is totally complete in great original condition.

Don't know, but it looks weird, should the bend be at the hose?

I know what you mean. Is the lower pole a different colour/thickness too?

It's still beautiful though!

The poles are the same material and fit into each other correctly. It could be either/or or the other way around?

It's not one of those machines where the bend goes at the bottom by the floor tool is it? I've seen American machines with that setup. All depends on the angle of the floor head I suppose

A couple of additions in recent months I didn't note here.

A Japanese DC12, of which there is a small video of >>here<<.

A DC24 Drawing to go with the DC25 one.

A DC18 built from new parts.

A red and silver DC07 we thought we'd save as they getting thinner on the ground than they were in this condition.
