A fellow collector offered me this a few months ago, and I took him up on it. It ran well, but was in need of a refurb. Christmas, the goblin commander and car issues got in the way, and the poor Turbopower sat in the corner of our bedroom getting in the way
Until the other night, when I grabbed it out and got to work:

There are 2 clips to remove the bag door, but they are a right pain to unclip in situ, so it's easier to remove the trunnion cover whole, then pop the clips out

This is a bottom of the line model, so has NO frills. Like the hole that would hold the air freshener housing has a blanking plate over it

Where the switch should be, in the handle is another blanking plate
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uXeIY0Lr_f0/VKl3bbRAv5I/AAAAAAAAgcI/nOa2AQbqjyY/s800/IMG_20150102_152323.jpg)
Oddly it consists of a main switch body with an inner blank
Popped the handle cap off
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NKCJ5wCG-uk/VKl3sTZ5sXI/AAAAAAAAgcQ/Z0srgmUMhAk/s800/IMG_20150102_152414.jpg)
Tools off the machine. I have the upholstry brush somewhere, but tbh I don't know where. It'll turn up!

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-SK-6_jL68J4/VKl34eLBV-I/AAAAAAAAgdA/epYPtcYl4R0/s800/IMG_20150102_152901.jpg)

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Vofv5Ilw4Ss/VKl3-fjeTbI/AAAAAAAAgdY/7sNO_yh9Ino/s800/IMG_20150102_153057.jpg)

Another example of mingebaggery, the lower cord hook isn't on this, there's a blanking plate. Underneath is all the mouldings to fit the spring and hook, but it never was!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0q5BFrA8k5g/VKl4RzIC-LI/AAAAAAAAgrA/lF5Bf1vC3I0/s800/IMG_20150102_154716.jpg)

Skips a bit here, but the fan screws off, the 2 spacer washers are removed, 4 motor casing screws are removed (phillips not flathead as it's a later model), and the armature can be withdrawn

Being a total system model, there is an additional gate that closes to provide suction to the tools
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OnZPATANe3Y/VKl4jqhZeRI/AAAAAAAAgfo/EMRSusrvURU/s800/IMG_20150102_160046.jpg)
Being a late model, then wheels are held on with annoying non-removable crimps, so I left them on and just removed the caps
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-n-_sHpIYa4g/VKl4lt4xswI/AAAAAAAAgrc/WjhQ9bVLWws/s800/IMG_20150102_160258.jpg)
Everything was then washed and dried, and re-assembled this afternoon!
Motor first
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-19GEPvrSe70/VKl4n9vqDJI/AAAAAAAAgf4/eG_ZxzRzRrk/s800/IMG_20150104_144246.jpg)

Pivot points greased up, as a common flaw with the Turbopower 1 is the pivots becoming dry, not pivoting anymore and the trunnion shatters
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QoYrMxXIVhk/VKl42zICjdI/AAAAAAAAgsA/uUauBmEF_AY/s800/IMG_20150104_150504.jpg)

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OnKYQGCcBNI/VKl5DwogSTI/AAAAAAAAghg/jaVdTNJdb-k/s800/IMG_20150104_152718.jpg)
All done under the hood, the hood can be re-fitted, and I screwed the hose holster back on

SWMBO came home at this point, so everything was re-assembled inbetween helping to put the shopping away, stopping my daughter emptying my toolbox, and I got a new bag out of the shed, along with an air freshener
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bYtDv2PTnCY/VKl5Jg2wCKI/AAAAAAAAgh0/bkF5TT9Z7Aw/s512/IMG_20150104_161833.jpg)
And she is done, just needs a final polish before I can call it done!
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CeAR37JxxhQ/VKl5LkXR19I/AAAAAAAAgh8/TfX2an2aQOg/s512/IMG_20150104_161942.jpg)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpOinrnzY_c&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpOinrnzY_c&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q)
even the tool suction is pretty good for one of these! (400w Dirty fan motor)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL7cIcalvEY&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL7cIcalvEY&list=UUv0y2E43HyJMX85p-Wxro0Q)
And another Turbopower 1 is done, even if this one is from April 1996, so VERY late.
