I tried to change the title of the U1436 thread but cannot, so new thread it is!

Got this at lunchtime, which was great as I could waft up the m4 for a junction outside the rush hour. Eventually found it, and the guy dug it out of the loft for me.

Won it for £4.30 something, but had no change so gave him a fiver. Still a steal in my book!

It's in worse condition than the U1436, Lightly used and some. Baseplate has taken a hammering too, but still complete. Generally filthy

Ratings Plate. Year older @ April 1995 (getting good at this dating system now! Only taken 10 years)

With it's companion. It sounds ill, has very whiney bearings. Belt is shagged too, and the brushroll is a fair bit worn. Will have to see if my spare one is any better.

The Hoover Turbopower Junior U1426 Cleaning Ensemble 1995! (I can call it the ensemble can't I? Like the old juniors etc)

Original bill of sale. Company is still going according to google.

Missed the price off, it was £89.99! Was the TP Junior still a TOL/MOL cleaner by 1995?

And both instruction manuals by their respective cleaner. Hope the U1912 box of tools is re-listed towards the end of the month now!

No. By this point, the TP Junior was the BOL cleaner. It had a TP hardbag, TP Totalsystem, TP2 standard, TP2 autosense and TP1000 above it

Thought so! Guess I never realized their true cost when new!

Damage to base plate. I'm calling it 'Patina'

The crud that came out! Still needs a wash now, but not getting into all that tonight!

NOS belt, which sorted out the horrible sound from 'the motor' Few drops of oil probably didn't hurt either. It does have a split bellows though, so need to get my spare one from the garage at some point. Need more big cable ties too

The oldest and newest I own (not counting the tp2 as I don't like it!)
