I was looking out my office window (1st Floor) at the skip (dumpster) that was next door where they were moving out. I noticed a grey cleaner, was it a Panasonic? ...no, maybe a Turbopower. I had a rule that I would not go beyond the 1104 Junior and the last Senior, but it was there, and for free ...

It appears to be working fine, excepting that I think it needs a new headlight. The business next door closed down (it was a branch so staff were transferred elsewhere) and the building was cleared for re-furbishment. It was not the only thing that I got from the skip, but no more cleaners. I hate to see things wasted when clearly they still have useful life in them, not to mention the envoirnmental considerations. Al |

The bulb on the Turbomaster is the same push fit design. You do not remove the height right control before lifting the hood as on the Turbopower. |

Thanks for all the info guys :) I have chosen the method I will use, and thats to let Jack do it - whichever way! There are more than enough examples of Jack's handiwork around to convince me that he could do a FAR better job than I could, especially as it appears to be quite a rare version, which I dont want to screw up. I wondered about the height levels on the lens cap, and now I know. It seems curious that they used a "mechanical" means of achieving this, although I suppose its simple enough. Its reminiscent to me of the bag full light that used to be on the Hoover Starlight, which seemed to be something of a "Heath Robinson" as well, Al |
