Just a quick question for you guys at m vacs, if I told you the serial number is there anyway you could tell when my DC01 was built? Would be interesting to know if it was the first of the second phase of the dc01 (current logo/swivel sole plate), or the last lot that were made. It has had really light use as hardly a blemish on it. Also I remember having a dc01 absolute as a kid and can't remember it having a suction release valve that's activated when the wand is pushed in place. I can just remember when it was in the upright position with the wand in place it sounded like it was about to explode!! Was this fitted to later models or did they all have it fitted?
Cheers
Tom
P.s took that picture for you guys today as the rest haven't always been in the best light :)
