Hi All,
Just bought this little lot for £15.00 locally down in deepest darkest Cornwall. In amongst them was a DC04 De Stijl. It's in a bit of a state with busted handle, foot plate and missing its motor. Also the filter in the cyclone has shriveled up and looked like a digestive biscuit :'(
[attachimg=2]
Anyway, I've stripped it completely, washed and steam cleaned all the parts and raided my parts bin and managed to find the correct handle and foot plate. I need the very elusive stair tool and will have to fit a ydk motor (I have a set of Panasonic rubbers for it which is what I think the motor was originally fitted looking at the motor bucket).
Here's a pic of the filter I removed....the worst I've ever seen !

I don't suppose anyone has a stair tool knocking around in the correct colour ? (long shot I know)
Thanks......Scott

Ohh GIGGIDYGiggidy Goo! look at all those Dysons! ;D
Anyways lol the stair toolsare getting qquite rare now, but I have an idea and that is to get a purple tool and a red tool then swap the swivel necks with each other to make the proper destijl stair tool and you have another aswell lol
-
Yeah, I've had the same thought about swapping halfs around. Got a big box full of tools including purple but no red ones :'(
-
Weirdly I can't find any red tools on ebay apart from a brand new brush tool and crevice tool, both of which belong to the destijl models of DC04 and DC01

Ahh, I wanted a short red crevice. Or a short purple one that was new/mint.

Have a look at some of the 'bulk' sales on eBay. I've sometimes seen a big pile just advertised as 'Dyson various tools', with the odd red/blue De Stijl tool poking out of a huge heap of mainly grey ones. Usually breakers who don't realise how rare they are. This kind of thing (though sadly no De Stijl ones visible here):

I guess you could cut the crevice tooland although it may be rough, get like a £5 iron from somewhere and set it on a medium setting with no steam. Iron the end of the crevice tool so that it doesn't look like it's been cut. I would try this with a grey one first just incase :]
-
Sorry! I accidentally posted the link to a used crevice tool. Here's the new one just incase anybody is interested :) It's the long DC01/ DC04 red crevice tool

Do you know if these were fitted with a HEPA or a pad ?

I've just had a look through my box of tools and found this, is this any good to you ?

De Stijls were fitted with a HEPA filter :)

Thought so, thanks for the conformation :thumbsup:

Ooh, that's the fella! I'll swap you something for it and put an SAE in there. :icon_nod:
-
Sure, no problem, do you have a stair tool for my de Stijl ?

Doubtful, I had to buy a job lot myself last time to get one. I have brush tools and a red crevice. Might be able to muster up a purple stair tool. Or a purple stair and a red brush you may be able to hybrid?

LOL I just found you one! xD haha :))

Yeah, but that will cost me money and won't help mvacs. A tool for a tool is win win ;D
The ebay one is last resort :money:

Yes, that will probably work. Sounds like a deal to me :thumbsup:
-
Well, rushed in from work, straight in the workshop and assembled the De Stijl ;D
Just waiting for the tools now to finish it off but I'm quite pleased with the results. Just a little disappointed with the sticker damage on the front of the canister but considering the handle and foot plate was smashed with the motor missing, it's turned out rather well I think.

Haha just read this old message, I got a De Stijl now, need a red wand now. I can only find one with a hose, which i dont need buts its like 23 poundings, which considering ive seen a couple knocking around for a tenner is a little high, especially since I didn't need the hose this is ebay im talking about BTW
