Re: Even older junior
Got it. Think it’s a 1224 and I think it’s 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} original
It works,
Cable it a bit damaged.
You must be joking, After fitting out my workshop with electric and work benches it was appropriated by wife and kids for there junk!
Re: Very old junior
OK I have re fitted the bag with twine and changed the alignment slightly.
On removing the brush roller and end caps I was presented with this.
The belt had defiantly been around for a few years. It wouldn’t even turn the roller.
Reassembled and she is sucking like new.
As I will never get her back to original condition I dont know whether to pimp her up a bit. 😕
Re: Very old junior
The belt isn’t broken but it looks like the original 1958 model 😯 I don’t think it would take much pulling. It looks like 100s of little bits of rubber connected with tiny bits of hair.
No the rubber furniture guard is missing, and I can only find replacements in gray, but it will match the bag, What was the colour of the original bag?
Re: Very old junior
I have some really Strong thinnish thread in the greenhouse, just not ventured in there since last year. Will have a go at the roller when the new belts arrive.
Re: Very old junior
😆
Come the better weather, I will be giving it a new paint job.
(Que the wife asking what the funny paint shapes are on the patio 😕 )
Might have to give it space in the 1976 Sprit Alpine caravan we have at the bottom of the garden.Re: Very old junior
Don’t think it could replace the dyson’s I have.
I have washed the bag and re fitted it, but not sure I have the line rite, what do you think?
Used cable ties but will replace them with string when I find some.
Next question, How do I remove the brush roller? There are some springy looking things at each end but I don’t want to force them until I know.
Forgot to say it came with the adaptor device for lifting the belt and fitting the tools but unfortunately no tools 🙁
Racking my brain I seam to remember the junior we had when I was a kid was blue and white and I think an early 70s model, I can also remember that everyone else seamed to have hoover constellations.
Re: Very old junior
Thought the bag was fitted wrong. Will have a go at hoover bag folding & tyeing later 😆
At least I can still get the bumper strip 🙂 pity its only available in gray and not pink.
Pack of 3 fan belts and 5 bags for just under a fiver off ebay.
Re: Very old junior
Believe its a 1334.
First question. How it the rubber bellows supposed to attach to the unit. this has been glued very badly.
How it the cloth bag attached to the feed pipe, this was taped on.
Are the rubber bumper strips still available?
Needs new fan belt and a paint job but apart from that and sorting the other few things mentioned its fine.
Re: Been given a Hoover Electronic 1100 they any good?
Think of it this way, £65 is a lot better than £200 plus for a new machine. Even if it lasts another 6 months you will have gotten your moneys worth.
