This morning I received the replacement motor for my Turbopower 1000 which I'd sourced from a Spares/Repairs Turbopower 2 U2464 on eBay.
Despite being an 800W motor it was the exact same design and took less than a minute to hook up. After painstakingly putting the rest of the vacuum back together (Hoover sure did like to make sure everything had plenty screws holding things in), I replaced the original 13A fuse with a 5A one (for two reasons; because of the lower wattage motor and just in case there was a fault with it) and plugged it in then pressed the power button... And she fired up for the first time in months! Plus, the "new" motor is actually a lot quieter for some reason - perhaps due to the lower wattage. So the 1994 Hoover Turbopower 1000 lives again!

Excellent news mate, I know you have been trying for ages to get her working again! | ||

Indeed I have, I'm over the moon.
That Turbopower 1000 was always my favourite vacuum and I had given up hope of getting her running again after receiving that no good motor, but thank goodness I found that U2464 on eBay and the seller was willing to remove the motor and post it to me. Plus it only cost £12 as he just wanted postage. What a bargain. I just hope that motor doesn't burn out like the last one! | ||
