It does power up, although it does need some assistance to get going but I think this is more because it has been sat in a cold warehouse for god knows how long. I don't really know much about it, apart from it being an obvious 119 rival. It's a model G41, 150w. It's not really from my era of interest, but for £15, I couldn't very well leave it sat there, could I?

but my Wizard Deluxe has a maroon bag, still with Goblin Wizard Deluxe written on it.
When I first got mine, there was a lot of play in the motor pulley, so much so that the brushroll wouldn't drive. It turned out that the motor bearings were ok but there is a rubber mounting on a plate at the front of the motor that was loose and this was causing the problem I forget exactly what I did but think I managed to wedge something into it and sorted it out. It now drives ok, though I wouldn't say that performance is upto the Hoover upright. I've had quite a few machines eg Hoovers with wear in the bearings and pulleys but it doesn't usually cause this problem. Personally I'd say it's a design fault on this model. Stephen |
