Author Topic: Nice DC01 Obtained! (Read 6932 times)

Took a trip out last night to pay £2.50 for a dead DC14 and a nice, honest, faded, giffer owned DC01.

Has a pack of 6 filters with it

2 of which are fitted to the machine

Nice mint cyclone stickers

Giffer damage to the bumpers

Decent lower sticker

The rubber soleplate spring is in-tact and present!

It's a late model though

Original plug

Tiny bit of damage to the wand

Hose is scrap but I have a spare one I think under the bed.

It's a shame it's so faded. Will be pointless getting a new wand as it'll be faded differently to the rest of the machine! I'll refurb this in due course and add it to the collection until a better one pops along. TBH It's the best one I've seen locally for months so it's not all bad! And I'm one more DC01 closer to having a full set!

Think I'll come & live near you, not even seen scrap
machines for that down here. Saw a dc14 on a market
stall a few weeks back, non worker for £25.00

No word of a lie, this is the only local (within 25 miles) DC01 I've seen for years. Was a ruined one at the car boot last year which I didn't go for as it was broken in every possible way. They seem to be getting a bit thin over this way!

TBH if it wasnt for the BROKEN DC14 being in the listing title I'd have missed it anyway!

I noticed that most Dc01's I seen that are the late type with old logos and the red cyclone sticker they are mostly in good condition with most/all things intact and dont even be faded!

atleast what I seen anyways

Same, seeing more and more 'refurbished' DC01's for the £40 mark on ebay now, they obviously dont sell though as they keep cropping up again and again!

I think these are starting to be found either completely broken/not worth it or mintola, general 'in daily use until recently' ones have all but gone I think!

Someone has loved this through its life though, the belt is fairly new, it grooms very well! Filters are recent too, although already filthy!
