........they really are. I'm feeling my 50 years as I remember the grey 652A when new......oh how I wanted one.....got a Raleigh push bike for my birthday . Never mind I've got one now but hood on yours is much better. Congrats, a pristine line up. Regards, Walter. |

I love the bags on those triplets! Why could we have that in the US! The colored cords are also nice. |

Hey Nick Im guessing it was to do with the fact the UK and Australia are 240V so it was judged safer to not have cables in the handle and also it would have been easier to comply with double insulation standards.???? Seamus |

Hi Seamus, I've always thought along similar lines - higher voltage concerns if the handle somehow became live, however I would have thought 110v could give you a pretty nasty jolt too. Whatever the case, your cleaners look just fantastic! Cheers, Nick |
