There were what I thought were date stamps on the chassis parts, but these ranged from 1992 to 1997 so I gave up on that idea, was I right or wrong?

If you look at the graphics, they are the 2nd style, the type used for a good deal of years. The this was changed around 1999. I think your machine is one of the last ones made with this lettering. | ||

I'm not sure how to date this era, but these were on sale around 1997-1999 before being replaced with a virtually identical cleaner with slightly different lettering. This would've been the base model of the 2nd style of TP2's. They were VERY popular, being a decent cleaner that was pretty inexpensive.

My latest service manual is 1995, and the model number on mine is a fair few digits higher than the ones in the book, I remember these being for sale in Argos around 1998ish too. Do the random stamps on the parts mean anything? | ||

Sam & your 'other' machine (ie: Hoover)...
Hello Sam.
I am not into the 'other brands'; however, this much I can tell you, the item/piece you posted in Reply #2 above, was made in July of 1992. Unless this was a piece replaced on the machine at a date, then this would have a production & sale date at least after that point in time. And, if there are other pieces with similar dating on the machine, then it would get you in the ballpark. Cheers & hagd/n all, Bill | ||

Could that not be Week 29 in 1997? That's how I thought it worked? maybe wrong though. That was towards the end of the TP production run when the Purepower was launched. | ||
