Well this could be fun, I've just stolen this!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222010598787
[attachimg=1]
A Sebo x1 in all but name, should make for a fun refurb, providing its not too shabby when I pick it up! Still waiting for the seller to get back to me on when they want it gone by...
[Link updated MV]

I am so jel right now! :o lol jk
Really glad you won it at that awesome price! Would love to own one of these Ensigns or Sebo's (never used one, all I did was see them lol)
Enjoy! Will you be making a thread by any chance? ;D
-
Yep, I want to do a full refurb on it! Always regretted not doing one on my X1.1, always been interested on how Sebo machines work!
Not heard back from the seller RE collection yet though
-
Can't wait! ;D
I kinda want a Sebo now lol
-
Very, very cheap! :o
Itching to see it get the fabled Beko touch. :icon_nod:
-
I'm looking forward to it, might even jump it up the refurb queue!
I agree, very, very cheap! Sounds like a classic case of the seller doesn't know what he has! Need to tell Amy still, might leave that until later tonight, it's her birthday today, will wait for her to have some wine...
Saturday at 10am is pickup, only 13 miles away, I did have a horrible thought that it would be the wrong side of Biscester, but nope, luckily it's in a village this side!
-
Hmm, it'll probably rumble...
-
If it does, where should I look?
-
Need to tell Amy still, might leave that until later tonight, it's her birthday today, will wait for her to have some wine...
Happy Birthday to Amy ;D
-
Ill pass it on! Shes at the indian getting some dinner and having some wine...
-
I remember seeing ones like that years ago badged a Regina.
-
If it does, where should I look?
No where, put it in the bin. :'(
-
Really? I think not, £££ of spare parts if it does turn out to be knackered, Id offer it to mvacs for £20 as the easy way out so they can break it for spares!
Chuck it away... honestly!
-
:o wash your mouth out. We don't chuck anything :censored:
-
Lmao madrat

My G1 went in the skip at work this morning... Had enough.

Well, I drove to a lovely part of Buckinghamshire... then turned left and into the scummiest estate I've been in for a while! (right by HMP Bullingdon) and picked it up

Luckily, it seems ok
No bag fitted though
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-q79AI7VM0cs/Vrz2_2JbztI/AAAAAAAAxg8/0ahbWroNb-o/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
And the bag door closes without a bag in which it shouldn't do...
Crap picture but 2006

5 minutes with a small brush de fluffed the spring and pivot point and it closed again

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QFlJ0e7fEFc/Vrz3TqruQTI/AAAAAAAAxhE/8DnhUF_nJMk/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The bag door latch doesn't sit flush with a bag fitted, although people who know SEBO more than me say they've seen this before and it's generally ok
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WthkEkA4K5s/Vrz3Uqdr6AI/AAAAAAAAxhE/VHPJtTHTaVc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Properly chuffed for £10!

So, I had this apart the other night!

The hose had gone through the wash previously, hence not fitted
Blank screw card
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xop9zTOArE4/VxKzbqQdEYI/AAAAAAAAyS8/dJI2wxJMjUwX26ffh7GwWzIdUCbhnaPNwCCo/s800/upload_-1)

Undo the screw, and pull the handle up slightly. Then, pull the inside part up and out (outer/top part wont come out yet)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L7fgFGuG1K0/VxKzg9IkMZI/AAAAAAAAyS8/wguBrbijGXEL1zXrzDO3p9WMPBImbQv_wCCo/s800/upload_-1)

The mains cable sits under the clamp, then the inner cores clip to the clamp

The mains cable is held into the switch with screw terminals
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qqcjSR_D8nc/VxK0CqhCKFI/AAAAAAAAyUE/pzM4V7wcNOQadzhOAN3YrZcUy3uL_Wr_gCCo/s800/upload_-1)

The mains cable pulls out of the handle when unscrewed from the switch
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nU8laMHAnGE/VxK0F3I0BgI/AAAAAAAAyUE/Q15g6vFfLQkjdzVxMFr5rWdyvpPpsr6cACCo/s800/upload_-1)
Neutral and a black wire sit on one side of the other side of the switch

Switch unwired, it pushes out from behind
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SOu54-kjJEQ/VxK0JBuFFaI/AAAAAAAAyUE/XP28_-PUeRsQwg5PQ9kPozHb8rhLJ6b2gCCo/s800/upload_-1)
With the cables unplugged, the other part of the handle pulls out of the, erm, handle!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iyw2tjl6YA8/VxK0LAbA0iI/AAAAAAAAyUE/nRY2xZnAs0kZwiO8MdrRdIun3bPkxIq8QCCo/s800/upload_-1)
The little black cable goes down to a tiny ring, which sits under the handle to earth against the metal part
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q6lyiAZ55LE/VxK0MUOUNxI/AAAAAAAAyUE/_tBfCGBgJXAtwtdfbc9o65GhrZ8capibACCo/s800/upload_-1)

At the other end of the handle is the socket, which is held in with a small tab
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-n0lda2M0owM/VxK0SFt5d2I/AAAAAAAAyS4/hSC72VGM7fksy0HFkgIWnWwSFOJG2WKKgCCo/s800/upload_-1)

The terminals didnt want to let go, so I left them
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sX4GtJvoWH0/VxK0VuXDjSI/AAAAAAAAyVI/lYIDit0IxI0JIUWXw0FCM7mkLXJ2EaN9ACCo/s800/upload_-1)
Handle done, I took the suction tube off, and couldn't find any way to get it apart so left it whole!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-667LG8l3TZM/VxK0XzLaJhI/AAAAAAAAyVI/iCCNL5KEEXIr-rxMOFyhlYn3DITwBexrACCo/s800/upload_-1)
This bit didn't move

So I took the bag compartment off the motor head and started on that.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oVkZrgU-RAY/VxK0bCodWEI/AAAAAAAAyVI/50vTasT4_g4PNV_BYblTikBmYi5oXwAPgCCo/s800/upload_-1)
I've been using it loads, even to clean out other minging, blocked vacs (it's got 2 dc07 cyclones of crap in it ontop of everything else) and it's still only half full! Buggar all suction though
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K33y9bagt-Y/VxK0cp5dhaI/AAAAAAAAyVI/oQGuonRUaDwvypr8w7aA25w-MPD1uA1QwCCo/s512/upload_-1)
Next is the bag release mechanism
The best way I found is to pop the orange tabs out at the top and slide the grey part out the bottom
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PnurOA4P3XQ/VxK0hm8d_SI/AAAAAAAAyVI/ak9pdyg2cwQUeat3b-pSPaiusZrx_9_7ACCo/s512/upload_-1)
The piece that stops the bag door being fitted if there's no bag unclips and withdraws from the frame
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lVFMcJ9t_Yw/VxK0jSEjsCI/AAAAAAAAyVI/AK7cBuoCiaMrcfnaoa0cpH_CisWGQ_lIACCo/s800/upload_-1)
It has a small spring
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-f-yxEftKSxs/VxK0lDvdgSI/AAAAAAAAyVI/qSQCaQ0XqncMEjVT4ptVbo7VJ64tZ7jrQCCo/s800/upload_-1)
There's a cover on the inside of the bag door latch that unscrews
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2LC9JI5tvqk/VxK0myb4_MI/AAAAAAAAyVI/8GVkKkYvwEcP6TQI6Ufi0GrfliHGQZ4UgCCo/s800/upload_-1)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qmQU9qz2bEM/VxK0oQaBpSI/AAAAAAAAyVI/WO5gnoGBlh4RHwonpuVOn6iveJ6tom1rwCCo/s800/upload_-1)
This is where the bit I have no idea where it goes came from, the small metal piece at the top...
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aHOr0r3Vxt4/VxK0qd3ZtGI/AAAAAAAAyVI/rYTy7fUnsWkZNPDvLX76zE34BXQ5Vq6qACCo/s800/upload_-1)
Anyway, the filter is removed

Sadly, breakage happened. I didn't know it came apart on one corner, tried to flick it off with a screwdriver, and snapped it. So I'll need a new one of those...

The top inner part of the bag housing has the hose entry port, and the bag holder on the other. It pops and wriggles out

There's a rubber seal
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SjhmsRTSVvc/VxK02IZyLVI/AAAAAAAAyWQ/D6npdKBw0t8ydlBWElPmwb4A7k-7bwNsACCo/s800/upload_-1)
and a peice of metal that isn't a spring

It 'latches' around its rotation using a metal spring that sits inside the inner piece
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bTu4YbJ4s-U/VxK1ECR2K5I/AAAAAAAAyWQ/pfBsZVgAs2QilRJAZxXCcb7a8psOB2OXACCo/s800/upload_-1)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CjsUWwXsuJM/VxK1FjSrcEI/AAAAAAAAyWQ/plfwTbuDig0inyJ2msmn-tyPXQ7ExjtLACCo/s800/upload_-1)

Sitting underneath the bag housing is the plug for the lower join of cable, held in with 2 screws

There we are, 97% done! I'll buy a new hose clip, and buff her up and do an after video. I've had a quick play, and the suction is sooooo much better than it was, even with an empty bag! Then it's up for sale!
-
very nice! Theres a G1 for sale near me on Gumtree ;D
Now that the suction is better, I remember you said the DC75 cinetic cleaned better than this, so does that still apply now this Ensign has been refurbed? :thumbsup:
-
My G1 went in the skip at work this morning... Had enough.
:o What are you using now? Gonna buy another Sebo?

I reckon it would be a close call, the 75 would probably pip it due to the beating tbh, but we will never find out cos theres no way I'm taking it back to that hose now it's clean! Next step is to sell it!
-
Cool ;) You will probably get lots of ERP cheap balls in like 5 years time like there are DC25's cheap around now
Some reason my DC41 Mk2 bristles look worn but still beats, I think its because we have rugs and have tile flooring underneath the rugs so might stress the bristles out

Awesome strip down topic! :bow:

It didn't really, my sense of humor doesn't go very well in this forum I don't think lol.
I still have the G1, it's in the cupboard ;)
-
Gosh :))
-
And still broken.
-
Yes I know lol :|
Complex looking bugger to fix your sebo problem with sadly, not to say it's impossible because it's gotta be something
-
Following some googling, it seems that the SM1 and 2 are the Sebo Essential G machines from the US
