Hey Guys
A former workmate brought this from a customer he called on thinking I might take it off his hands- I handed over the £15 without too much hesitation lol.....

Looks good, and the headlight lens hasn't yellowed as bad as some I've seen on ebay (and even on TV, one was shown in "The secret life of the National Grid" on BBC4), I've thought about getting a 1354 cos I like vacs with headlights... :)

Oh, and to rotate pictures, just open them up in MS Paint and rotate them in there, and save... :)

Oooooh!

That's fabulous!  And just fell in your lap!  :-)  The unexpected finds are always the best!  I remember playing with Jeff's Dirtsearcher, and always thought it was such a cute little machine.  I absolutely love how you take the headlight off to use the tools.. And with the tools, no less!

 

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice Seamus!

Whilst there's still quite a few 1354A machines around they rarely turn up in such nice clean little-used condition as this one!

I bet you won't want to scratch it..so will you be using it much or putting it on show?
