It is a headlight but It was originally from Italy this one, hence the lil flower logo on the front as opposed to the royal crest. I'll have a fiddle with it tomorrow and see if I can get it going again, it must be something silly |

Wow! the powerplus is one of my favourite convertibles and for us EU guys it was the last one in practice. I like much the sits sound and the beating/brushing action is excellent. unfortunately poo is the handle grip. The top is the commercial C 1300. However I'm looking for the pictures of mine. Greetings, tommy.

well as predicted the problem was a stuck carbon. They were quite low anyway so i replaced them while I was at it |

Hi Ryan.
You have done a good job of cleaning up the vacs in you recent threads. I like the white Hoover power plus. The only burgundy model power plus I've seen in person was many years ago in a second hand shop on holiday. The strange thing I remember about it now was it did not have a dust cup bag it had a regular burgandy bag with the Hoover logo on it. Never seen one since. I wonder if that was a exclusive model??? Same for my step mum's mother. She had a green Hoover Turbopower like the U2332 but with autoflex! Never seen one of those since either. I used it a few times when we went over to visit in the late 80s very early 90s. I know it broke and was replace years ago so I can't even see what model it was. James:o) |

Hi,I can remember the green Turbopower with autoflex having the name Hoover on the plug.It would of been good if they had gave me the machine after they had finished with it. She gave me her panasonic upright once she had finished with that. Then again that was still working when she gave it me.

Just finished this 1982 Moulinex Master too. It was filthy! but has surprised me at how nice it's come up. Just waiting for some new bellows, a headlamp bulb and a new cable and I'll be doing a video. |

Ahh Ryan what a great Moulinex Master. I have a Moulinex Master that needs doing up.
It's in very poor shape. The handle is wrong as well...It's blue SCREAM! The bellows are cracked to. Have you got a source for your Moulinex Master/Major Bulbs as there a strange voltage. 45 volts that's volts not wattage. I just wonder if you know where to get the correct bulbs??? James:o) |

Also the bellows for the Moulinex, you can easily use a length of ordinary vacuum hose to do the job. Even with the original Moulinex bellows a lot of silicone sealant (the sort one would put around a bath is fine) to do the job properly. |

I've got a friend with a stash of Moulinex bulbs which is handy so that solves that one. My mate ric has ordered 4 bellows from Amazon apparently. waiting for them to turn up or an email saying that they've been discontinued lol |

Hi Benny, lol Yes I'm VERY sure it was NOT the Grey Turopower from the leccy board U2334 I believe. It was green like the U2332 and it had a headlight. It was exactly the same as the U2332 but had a cord rewind. As I said in the past I used it quite a few times when we went over to visit. I even had a green U2332 at one point at the same time my step mums mother had the green auto flex model,I just never thought to look at the model number or if I did I can't remember it. I am going back to 1989,90,91,92.

Out of interest, can you remember what the font was like on the lettering on the hood and bag door? Hoover did three different fonts that I can recall, and probably were even more. |

Sorry to go off topic slightly but are the built in air fresheners in certain Vacuum Cleaners more effective than the tabs you can buy these days that are simply put in the bag ?
I buy "Pan Aroma" freshener tabs from my local Pound Shop and especially like the vanilla one, which smells more like coconut actually. |

Ryry, your tumble dryer is going to end up in rehab at this rate. You ply it with liqour and then make it wear a laundry basket as a hat. Outrageous. |

You'd think it was warm on there, but maybe mulled Malibu is the height of fashion now, I don't know anything any more. |
