I have had this vacuum cleaner for 3 years now. Bought on a whim on ebay, it came with a broken speed control on the hose. The day it arrived, I attempted to take it apart, and broke the hose even more. Ever since then, it's sat at the back of the loft awaiting the day some motivation came.
I found myself with 4 dolphins last month, and nearly got one down, but got this down instead, having been here the longest.
First up was to get the hose working. Hindsight showed me how to remove the locking tab on the hose correctly...
Along with my other dolphins, I had a few spare hoses, and the locking tabs are set up to take the power connectors that were never fitted, so I took one off, and took the remains of the lavendar one off the broken hose

You can see the remains of the locking tab still fitted to the hose

The other part of the contacts sit on the hose, and sprung bits of brass join them up

You can see the tabs on the machine side under the cover
So, the hose worked for the first time since I buggared it all those years ago...
Woohoo! Even Amy cheered (mainly because I then stopped pissing about with it at 11.45pm...)
So, next issue, which tech helped me with massively in the supressor thread was the speed control
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vVfBokU1T2M/VifscP0y0VI/AAAAAAAAuGE/mdhOwdO6F9I/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This was the original issue, why the machine was being sold in the first place (and the owner has a bloody impressive amount of vacs and had a clearout, but it's stayed in the fold), the speed control doesnt work
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vVfBokU1T2M/VifscP0y0VI/AAAAAAAAuGE/mdhOwdO6F9I/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
I broke this open back in the day, and never did get it working again (dry solder was the original issue I think)

I went on an ebay hunt, and found some new potentiometers.
The day after I ordered those, we had massive network problems at work, and those of us who can work from home were told to do one at 10am. After the best damn drive home I've ever had (a naughty 25 minutes door to door 20.3 miles away), we were told to not log on, as IT had to prioritise the VPN connection for payments.
So, I had a look at the machine

Whilst some of the above was going on, the new Potentiometers arrived, and my stepdad soldered one onto the handle circuit board for me
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BdEVGtQRO_M/Vifz6QDh46I/AAAAAAAAucc/wAyavaKwxlY/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
It is different, as the adjuster wheel doesnt sit as it should, but isn't 'adjustable' due to the position of the adjuster on the pot, so it will have to do!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LafTkIgfQkg/Vif0B8XaDnI/AAAAAAAAucs/IuwhM8hSxCs/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
However, it does work! Can be a bit slow to change the motor speed, but it seems to get a bit more adjustment with each use, so maybe it needs to be bedded in.
Either way, it works well enough!
I found a matching dusting brush and upholstery tool in the shed, so they got fitted. The crevice tool is still on the DC16, wherever that is! Dead chuffed with this, the Dolphin collection has begun!
-
Hello, I have a Dolphin 1400 too (Z2260). Any ideas where I can get a motor from?
-
All of this is persuading me to haul my Mum's old Dolphin out of retirement. She had it from new. Hasn't been used since she passed away 15 years ago, so should be interesting! I remember the wand control died quite early on, so it has the same problem as Beko's had, at the very least......
