I've got a dolphin electric with a broken hose, and the service manual for them is on my drive if it helps! Have some filters in the garage for these, if you let me know your model number I'll try and dig them out tomorrow. Free if you want, damn things are horrible to sell! | ||

Hi Joe,
Nice find! I have one of those boxed, they're fab machines! Bit of history, the Dolphin replaced the 2010, 2020, 2030 and 2040 cleaners as Lux's TOL cylinder range in late 1988, alongside the launch of the the 615 and 616 uprights and the more compact Lite cylinders. The first style had 3 models available - the white base model, the 2230, a charcoal grey 1400 model and the TOL purple 1400 model with remote hose. All had variable power and the "boost" button. Lux were big on the whole boost thing in the late 80's and early 90's. Here is a pic from Argos 1989 showing the first style Dolphin. Notice, it has black extension tubes and the 2000 series style floortool.

The Dolphin kept going until 1995 when it was replaced by the Harmony and Ingenio cleaners. The later Dolphin's had a more modern colour scheme, and the I believe the last 1200 electronic was royal blue. There were also some modifications made to the tool compartment. On the earlier models, the tool storage was inside the bag compartment, in a tray that sat on top of the bag. On the later cleaners, the storage compartment was totally separate to the bag chamber, similar to Miele cylinders.
