Found this Henry at Goodwill yesterday for $10, got it home and started cleaning it up. The foam in the exhaust and the foam over the top of the motor had just rotted. The Vacuum had a musty smell, cleaned everything with a dilute solution of bleach and soap and water. It only had the hose and wand handle with it. I just happen to have 3 Numatic paper bags that I picked up at Goodwill a couple of years ago, so that worked out well.
Getting into the motor it sounded like the bearings were going bad. Taking the motor apart it was just the lower bearing that needed to be replaced. The upper bearing was just fine. Trying to figure out the age of this Henry, the tag has Numatic Beaminster Dorset England NV200 115V ~ 680W Input with Electric Nozzle 750W Total The first 4 pictures are after I cleaned it the 5 is before I cleaned it. | ||

That's very old, one of the first with no cordwinder and original hose connector. Around 30 years old. | ||

Ran Henry for a while on Tuesday and when I went to shut him down heard a little bearing noise so replaced the upper bearing.
Wednesday Henry was feeling better and ate a whole bunch of stuff, now when he farts is smells like Gardenia. Today I got a new 10 pack of Numatic NVM1C/2 bags for $10 so Henry will be well stocked when he fills his tummy. | ||

Sorry for reviving an old thread.
I haven't really checked the vintage category in a while.Thats a very old Henry.Its one of the first ones,I dont know how it ended up in the US.For $10,that's a steal. In England,the model number for this Henry would be HVC200.The NV200 was an identical
vacuum but it had a longer cable and a better motor and said Numatic on it instead of Henry.The Henries of the US always have a different model to ours,I think its to differentiate.The US Henries also have 38MM tool-kits.Our Henries have residential 32MM tool-kits.I will attach pics of a very early all red NV200 because that was the first gen of NV.The second pic will be of an 2nd gen NV200 with the black top and the 3rd pic is off a normal Henry HVC. -Adam | ||

The specific age terminology "very old;very,very,very old" has always intrigued me:
When a person younger than 25 uses that common phrase, it basically means something older than 5 years.
When a person over the age of 70 uses it, it typically means (as it should) something several CENTURIES in age.
However, when a 26-64 year old person uses it- meanings are all over the map.
Alex- I was hoping on getting a Henry to ..... to have someone to talk to, like a pet. I was even hoping to dress Henry in dapper stick-on clothing items. Like a Mr. Potato head. Surely you don't see a problems with this, do you?
Henry with a mustache and glasses would be fetching, in deed.
