Made in March 2001, so VERY late for one of these! They stopped altogether in late 2001. Not hard to see why these didnt sell, to quote someone from facebook "Why buy a machine that looks like its from 1984 when you could have a DC04!"He has a point!
Note also that Candy have just called this a Junior, rather than a Turbopower Junior as they have been known since 1983...
Bit of tape on the handle

Looks barely used

Works very well too. The motor is much louder than its 400w grandad, I must compare the tool suction on them at some point!
Started stripping it down!

This piece of wireing goes from the motor to the spine. Again, never seen this before, the older machines dont have it!

Release mechanism. If you get a turbopower that leans or worse it's the bit this sits on thats snapped. Can sometimes be glued up.

These types of fixings cant be removed without risking breaking the wheel, and as you cant get the wheels anymore, I'm not risking that, so they can stay!

Candy must have sealed the fan chamber up, or someones been here before. I always seal it up, stops so much suction leakage! Up to 1995 (my second oldest) they were just pushed together

Looks like these later bearings can be re-packed which is nice

Split the brushroll. The bearings cannot be split sadly unline some of the 1980's bearings, so cant do much here

Still needs a polish, but a quick test fire reveals it sounds smoother than it did!

And a test on our rug shows it works very well!

So pleased it went to a good home Sam! Rather you have it than it just sat in my cupboard! :)
