About a month ago, my stepbrother called me on his way to work saying he's found a hoover at the side of the road and chucked it in the van for me. Great I said, what is it? An early Dyson like mym used to have (my stepmum had a year old DC01 Grey when my dad met her).Ah cool, I said. Look ok? It's red and purple...Wow keep it safe, I said, and he said he would, and we ended the call. 20 minutes later he called me back saying listen, does it sound ok? He fired it up over the phone for me which I couldnt hear very well. He said it wasnt sparking, sounded ok but there was a rattle from the brushroll. Cool, thanks very much! He took it home for me that night
We went up on Monday, and I picked it up after a brief look, and got it out at my grans earlier inbetween the mahoosive rain showers Peterborough are having at the moment

I've always wanted a De Stijl, but they always go for over what I would pay. A free one, yes please!

The wand sticker is slightly faded, but apart from that the wand is pristine. Was full of sweet wrappers and fag ends though

No cyclone stickers, but looking at the plastic they've been missing for a good while as there's no sign at all

The soleplate is scratched to heck but unbroken! In quite good nick actually, I might get some wet/dry or wire wool and see if I can smooth out the damage. Suction port was half blocked though, as they all are

Someone told me all De Stijls were made on this date, and then I looked and they were correct!

Grandad found me a screwdriver and I changed the belt (of course I put spares in the car before we left...)

I took the filters out before firing it up

I cleaned it out a bit, didnt put new filters in as it would have ruined them in seconds, and popped into my grans front room...
Not a valid youtube URL
They only have a Vax Mach 6 cylinder, and whilst I sorely wished I had found a Hoover Turbopower 1 rather than a dc01 as it would have bought their pile up a treat, the DC01 did well! In dire need of a stripdown and clean, but was better than my dc03 suction wise from the off! Blew out a cloud of dust when I turned it on every time though.

Packed it in the car and we came home. It's sat in the hall now, I have machines in bits that I should get together first before starting

And for now, my first De Stijl! Am in need of a nice full set of De Stijl tools for it though :thumbsup:, and could possibly be tempted with a new brushroll if this one feels a bit low in use on my rug (which I know how it comes up so can judge the condition better than a carpet I havent vacuumed since I was 7 with a Vax 121...)

Beautiful find! Better than mine, your really fortunate :) and I cant wait for a strip down! It will look really pristine
Have fun with your new toy

PS that amount of dust is how much I can get from vacuuming my entire downstairs with a DC14!

Eva made a mess with cake yesterday, so I grabbed the DC01!

One end is a bit worn though, not quite sure how, the old belt was very very worn so it must have allowed it to vibrate. Sounds fine with a new belt though

I gave it a quick test fire just to check it was together fine, and the suction seems very very good, and the motor runs alot smoother now. I then noticed the plug

I've had a pretty much complete DC01 De Stijl in the shed since last summer, with the intention of swapping the cyclone tops round with mine, as this one has nice stickers. Done sod all with it until saturday, when someone asked if I could refurb it and sell it to them. Couldnt refuse!
I stripped and washed the shed de stijl, then took the cyclone top off mine

Fitted that, then got the rotaty out with some power finish polish. Put a coat of wax on it after that, it looks lovely now!

It's buttery smooth now! Must get a pic with all the tools and instruction manual that someone swapped me with some old style filters for!
-
Cracking finish you got there. :icon_nod:
-
I love the colors of these machines and how interesting they look. So happy it found you and got reborn.Nice work, as always
-
I have a DC01 De Stijl I need to sell but I don't want to get rid, its to nice.
-
Lol Madrat, was that the one you got with the DC03 Standard as a pair in Tipton, West Midlands? I think I was gonna bid on that lol but glad its gone to a good home ;D I assume you are local! (brum)
-
:o Yes it was. You been monitoring my emails? Do you work for GCHQ :underchair:
Friend of ours who lives in Black heath picked them up for me and brought them to the caravan rally we were all on, would have vacuumed everyone's van to test them but we had no electric.
I live in Leicestershire.
-
Lol, nah :P It's just I was interested in the pair of Dysons in Tipton, local to me in Birmingham and then later on after the auction ended I noticed you made a thread about you buying the two :D Then I lrelised instantly that it was you who bought them lol ;D
-
Cant remember the thread, think I got them for 99p or something daft. Apparently is was a bit of a rough area and our friend was a bit worried about taking her brand new Discovery down there.

And here it is with its small tools, floor brush, instruction manual and a pack of filters (have another to go with the DA001, old style font filters!)
It's also in the loft, which marks it as done!
-
:thumbsup:
Very nice, fantastic colour's on the De Stijl.
-
Ah we have some family in Tipton, not really a rough area I would say lol
OMG That DC01 looks really flashy and so cool!!!
I can't believe how good it looks :o
-
No not all of Tipton, but this area was. My Granddad came from Tipton, my Gran from Dudley.
-
Oh OK and cool ;D
-
I live in a rough part of Birmingham
-
Cracking job! :thumbsup: And to think I took one down the tip two weeks ago along with three other DC01's! Maybe I should start looking at them with the same enthusiasm that you do! What do you use to polish them up? I'm amazed at the shine you got on that thing! Got a picture of your polishing kit? Oh, and what do you use to clean up the clear bin??
-
Beko is an inspiration to many I think!
We also did a DC01 - >pics here< (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1158.msg5596.html#msg5596) - to hang onto.
And don't take DC01's to the tip - many spares are no longer available for them! :snivel:
-
:grinn: I didn't think there would be any interest in them so thought they'd be a waste of time! I've thrown loads of them away! :'( Woops!
-
Beko is an inspiration to many I think!
Agreed! ;D :king:
-
Lol thanks! It did come up well, but I was lucky in that it wasn't too bashed up to begin with!
Of course now I keep a lookout for other dc01s to go with them...think I need:
DC01 with the da001 style dyson font
Dc01
Dc01 Antarctic solo
Dc01 Absolute+
Any more dc01s I've missed tayyab?
-
Dude, shame!
But then I remember going to the tip in 2003/4, and seeing loads of dc01s sat by the office. Of course back then they could be sold, so I could get 4-5 for £20. Step dad hated taking me to the tip... If only I could go back now! Lines of unfaded, non brittle machines! Did use one for a year as a daily too iirc
-
There's the DC01 blue :) Looks like the antarctica solo but Dyson had too many blue parts left over so they made them as the DC01 blue with standard stickers lol
-
I want to have a Dc07 collection with all the allergy,red/purple/green/blue/yellow models etc
So lovely :) I also like the red DC07 full gear and Dc07i
