So I acquired these two the other day.
[attachimg=1]
I haven't looked at either of them beyond what you see.
The one on the left I'll take a bid on. What are they worth?
This one I need a front cover for.
[attachimg=2]
I might mint that one up for the museum area. Anyone got a decent brown cover?
If the one on the left is worth nowt, I might "remanufacture" it - loads of new bits, powder coated bits, rewired and earthed, etc. Make it look brand new and bung it on the shop floor. I am sure they still have a following........
-
I love them :king: your best bet for parts is ebay but Q still do some.
-
Q's is a grey one, I want a brown one with the Hoover badge on.
-
It going to be ebay then.
-
Blimey! there's one of those down the road! Might go get it now, are they worth anything?
-
£50 in good condition, but they are getting harder to find.
-
I picked up a Pumpkin one for 99p the other day!
One on the left has a pattern bag, but lots of spares should you want to start breaking and selling parts...
One on the right looks nice. Don't think I have a brown one, got a Pumpkin cover with no Hoover roundel in the shed I think. Ebay/the 'special' area at Q/Autovac? Looks very very VERY faded though, have you ever heard of Retrobright?

No? We normally use G3.
Can the Hoover roundels be obtained anywhere? If so, I can get an after-market brown one with no badge.
Is there a 'special area' at Autovac?
-
I happen to have a load of Hoover self adhesive roundels that I bought off an old engineer years ago. I'll offer one up to mine and see if it's the same size and post you a few over if so.
I've known Dilys to have some old stuff kicking about, you never know! Failing that, paint up another one with plastic paint?
-
I've just ordered the brown one new. So a roundel would be much appreciated. :icon_nod:
-
The Brown one has seen a Hoover Service centre too, can you read which one or is the label too faded?

No worries, I'm away until Tuesday now, I'll get a little package together!
-

I'll have a look tomorrow.
-
I think Q still have motor and agitator bearings for these too. Full set of those, and a new belt and brush strips will have her Beating, as it Sweeps as it Cleans again!
-
oh oh can I buy a couple of those roundels off you :tiphat:
-
Yea. PM me your address and I'll get a few in the post
-
So the blue one is still up for grabs.

If nobody fancies it in the next week or so, I will do it up and put it on the shop floor for fun. Someone will have it as a bit of nostalgia.
-
You got anywhere with these at all? Once done they should outclean a DC24 (a 119 outcleans a 24 though!)
I got a new handle for my U1012 today so can crack on with that at the weekend
-
I got an old stock, after-market brown cover. And some roundels from you. But they are untouched as yet. Been a bit busy in the new place.........
I have about 8 museum machines that are not touched as yet. Get up here for a holiday - I'll keep you busy while Amy shops.

Got room for my caravan?

Got room for my caravan?
Big gated and camera'd yard out back. Room for maybe a dozen vans. Not strictly ours but we can (and do) use it. :thumbsup:
Insanely expensive but totally awesome German WMF coffee machine available (my one extravagance). :coffee:
3 bogs (as an old pub), Dyson hand dryers in house, and within 100 yards is every type of waxing, plucking and preening shop that covers hair/nails/nether regions/whatever for women at not so much £. And an Asda :underchair: across the street, but there is a Sainsburys 5 minutes away for everyone else.

Tempting
-
I just mooted the idea to amy and she said off you go, see you later...
Id sleep in a caravan...
-
Ha you could share mine :))
-
Two Hoovers and about 20 Dysons for you blokes to go at that need doing. :money:
