hi there,

Today I got a very special cleaner. It is a Ruton RO 3612. It was the more expensive version of the Philips HR 6210. It has a dustbag full indicator on top of the swiveltop, automatic cordwinder, and a suction reducer on the lower wand. It was build and sold in the mid sixties and was only made in stone red. The cleaner was expensive in its time en did not sell well. What makes it extra special is the fact that it is hardly used complete and in brand new condition. What a find on the last day of the year :-))

Edgar, for some reason, when I view your pics on the forum, red comes out as blue, but when I save the photos to my PC and view them, they turn out fine!

What a great find - it is hopefully a good omen for 2010. And it is the same for me as for Jack - that wonderful blue (the same colour blue as the AEG) cleaner is really red. I rather liked your blue floor though LOLOL

Don't get it, the cleaner still looks very blue to me!?

Mind you, after seeing Edgar's blue face, perhaps he has a way of making everything look blue?

The things that supose to be blue come out yelow when I look at the pic that jack posted. At my parents house it was blue also. Maybe it has something to do with vista and windows. Happy new year to all of you.

Perhaps this could explain your problems. I am unable to replicate the problem myself, but this looks interesting.

LOL - that one is Greek to me (but then I've never claimed to be a programmer - I'm doing well just to be able to talk the computer into doing what I need it to do)
