Sorry to hear about your bubble wrap trouble, I have seen this before. On another point, I am just finishing off a massive restoration job on a 612 and 638. Its so much more fun restoring the machines yourself than finding them in mint condition, Don't get me wrong if I found a mint or unused 612 or 638 I would be ecstatic but I just love rebuilding them taking them from a wreck to a machine of beauty.

Jeez that bubblewrap damage... I have several vacs wrapped in bubblewrap... When I get a chance I may get some cheap bedsheets and re-pack them in those first. Got the 375, celebrity and a few turbopowers that way... Excellent job on making the new bag, I need to get one made for my 875 whenever I fix the annoying fault of it not working at all! | ||

Bakelite Nice in-line switch!! I still have several of the old light socket adaptors, also old plugs and sockets (30 amp 2-pin, 15amp 3-pin, 5amp 2-pin and 3-pin) which may be of interest to restorers or stage/television set/prop procurers..... All best Dave T | ||

the
bag isnt perfect but anything is better than those grey things .I am one of those have a go people i will have a go if it goes wrong never mind just try again . I would have loved to have seen one of these machines when it was brand new just out of the box [although i am old enough i was only a small boy when they were made]no chance of that now unless someone invents a time machine soon so i have tried to make this one look as new as possible its great switching on for the first time and watching the homemade bag inflate

Bubble Wrap and finishes. In a somewhat related vein, bubble wrap should never be allowed to directly contact any finish IMHO. Destroys guitars as easily as it destroys vacs. -Larry | ||

That's why I use crumpled newspaper or styrofoam peanuts first then put bubblewrap after packing the item(s) with newspaper when I ship the merchandise I sold on eBay. | ||

I don't think Plastic of any kind is a good idea for wra
If you think about plastic,its like putting your fave thing in a bag to SWEAT!
it creates condensation and the item, be it a Hoover or anything else needs to breath Metal doesn't take too kindly to condensation i think, I am not an expert but things need to breath.The idea is too keep the dust out only. Painted surfaces also need air and i think that's why in the good old days things were covered in cotton sheets for long term storage.Always natural materials. I cant think it can do well on electric contacts either or windings in the motor getting subjected to condensation. Condensation is going to happen due to the continual temperature changes on the outside of the plastic wrapping. | ||

Styrofoam can also leave- -a layer that sticks to rubber.That is why Elux tanks that did not sell on demo were to be put in plastic bag first and then the styrofoam packing was put on ends as it went in box.These bits can be removed with rubbing alcohol,etc if seen at cordwinder and front door. | ||
