Those look so bizarre when in vacuuming position! Its cool how the nozzle comes back close to the rear wheels. Did the american DC14 do this? I dont remember my DC17 ever doing anything like this. PS What happens if you turn it on? :) | ||

Creativity at its finest Jack that is super cool! I was going to ask you what you used to cut the plastic but you stated a Dremel tool in your last post, we have two of those in the house, I can't live without it.
I'm very impressed with your precison in creating this cut away. I did similar things with a vintage washer and our KitchenAid dishwasher, but I had to use a jigsaw, googles and ear protection to get through the porcelain covered metal lol.
Your creativity is something to be super proud of. What inspired you to do this out of sheer curiosity? | ||

Trust you!
to think of a clever idea like this Jack, then carry it through to execution in a beautiful and professional way...but I cannot bear the thought of you cutting into your Vintage Hoovers!
There has been as lot of talk on here just recently about machines being destroyed in one way or another but at the end of the day my own feeling is you can do what you like with your own stuff! I do not like destruction of rare items or those in good condition that would be worth something to a collector/user..but with something like this, your Dyson is probably worth more money as a work of art than as a working item? Maybe one day I will do the same with one of my vintage machines but cannot bring myself to start on a suitable victim..but then again perhaps I will do it for the sake of art? Stephen | ||

That's a relief Jack!
though, as you say, you're perfectly entitled to cut them up as you see fit!
As I write, there is a vintage Hoover Model 725, which looks destined for the scrap man in 2 hours time.. Stephen CLICK HERE TO GO TO hooverbaby's LINK on eBay | ||

WHY WHY WHY! Why does it seem that ONLY UK hoovers have original aftermarket bags like that. UGH! I have never seen a machine for sale in the states with a bag like that. | ||
