^^^ I wonder what is at the other end of that cord. Does it have a modern UK plug on it or perhaps something older? I know that England changed their electrical sockets at one point and before that there had been a few different types in use. | ||

Hey David:
Actually there were 3 main types of plug in use in England up to the late 60's when it was standardized. The two you mention and the Wylex plugs which were two flat blades on either side of a round ground pin. If memory serves they came in 5 A and 15 A and incorporated a Fuse like the new plugs. Doug

Hi Lee:
Goblins are my favorite. The model you have is the post war version of the Triumph which was sold from 45-51. I believe that the covering on it has been changed as the original (See picture of my machine below) was black. I have seen this same covering on several different models from various eras now which is why I am making the assumption that it was used as a replacement and not original. Makes for a very nice looking machine though. Doug PS - the kit displaying the parts in the picture was my own creation. They didnt come with the machines.

Lots to do, I only have the hose, so I’m on the look out for some attachments.
All the metal work needs some serious polishing; I have given the leather a good saddle soaping which removed lots of dirt. She is a runner, the motor is nice and smooth and the bag is good order. She will live in happy retirement with the 2 constellations I have restored and a Maytag satellite. Lee

Actually we do
There was a thread about it in "deluxe" only last week. I must have a look at my Triumph to see if it is metal (i think mine is pre war) but I do have one similar to the 39 (mine is blue though) which is definatly cardboard and Kenkart (Hans - Norgeway from AW) also posted a US cleaner also. Still, they seem to hold up OK.
Anyhow, another nice catch for you Al | ||

tools Good-morning Lee, I'll have a look in my vac room tomorrow as only about a month ago I cleaned and polished all of the Goblin tools; ext tubes, nozzles and brushes. I'll see what I can find? Regards, Walter. | ||

Thanks Doug, fine steel wool and some metal polish it is then, sounds good to me.
The bakelite coupler, I was a bit nervous at first, it was so tight I worried I could crack it, but then submersed it in some warm soapy water and it loosed. Any ideas of what the fat rubber band is for, it much to big for a seal, I thought it might be like on the Hoover juniors, to hold a disposable bag in place? Goadie12, Yes I find stuff which is past it’s best but thats the joy of restoring, I found them in a garden shed I have walked past hundreds of time in the last 20 years, a tree fell in the bad storms we had at the start of the week and opened up the view of the contents, I spotted the yellow and white one on a shelf in the window and went to see the owner, who was more than glad to part with it, on going into the shed I found the rose and white one on the bare ground inside as well. The rose one has been painted at some point with a grey paint with a brush. | ||
