Hi everyone :-)
I'm messaging from the UK. I wondered if there is anyone who I can contact with regards to parts for a Hoover 150? I actually have a couple of Hoover 160s - the UK version - and I'm looking for some bits and bobs to complete my restoration. I am not sure if the 150 parts are compatible with the 160? I know there were some differences - but I hope the parts will be interchangeable. Thanks! |

Can you list which parts you are looking for here please, and perhaps some UK members can help you out. There are many signifigant differences between the 150 and the 160 to the extent that they are almost completely different machines, in spite of a superficial resemblence. This, combined with the cost of shipping parts to the UK ..... Al |

Not too rare - I have had several over the years and have some spares knocking about too. |

Hi guys - thanks for the replies :-)
I'm looking for a couple of things to start. Forgive me for not using the correct (Hoover) descriptions for these parts - I'm still learning :-) First - the phenol / bakelite cover for the foot operated handle release - mine was broke in the past and is badly repaired with a part missing. Second - the phenol / bakelite bag collar. It has one of the locating hooks missing - and a part of the periphery into which the seal sits is also missing. Can anyone help with these? Pics below Thanks! |

Hi Christopher -
That bag ring looks the same as the 150's ring. And I do have one. I am not sure what it would cost to ship it to Britain. I would say that with shpping container and all, it would be approximately 2 US pounds in weight. Waddya think?
Mine has one small chip out of the bakelite on the bag side, but I don't think that chip will affect the bag contact. Also, a small piece of the seal gasket on the backside is missing. Again, not enough to compromise performance, I think.....I can take some pictures, if you want to see.

Hi guys
Thanks super-sweeper - I saw that on eBay and wondered what it might be? It's a different shape and has a much smaller diameter outlet. I suspected it may be a 'blower' attachment? Thanks portable - that's sounding good :-)) I'll have a look on USPS's site to see what it would cost to post to the UK. Do you have an idea what you would like for it? You can email me direct if you like: machineage@ntlworld.com Thanks Chris. |
