Another. Does the 333 mean it's an early one? |

It's supposed to be used with a paper bag (seen them for sale, exactly the same as a Junior bag, so I can use up some of my large quantity of bojack paper bags! |

It took me a while to understand that, but I am with you now. I am suitably bored with television and not a bit sleepy. |

Lucky you Benny, I can feel myself getting a wee bit tired but it doesn't mean a thing because my insomnia means I feel very tired but CANNOT DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP.
It is SO frustrating because it makes perfect sense that when tired you should sleep, but my brain just will not shut down, it keeps mulling useless dilemmas and quandaries over for no reason, such as "how many Turbopower 2 bags do I have left ?". |

Well you could be sat here wondering how many days, weeks, years one has left to live, whilst simultaneously doing little useful with that time. |

That T300 has a Numatic floor tool by the looks of it.
As for the crevice tool being a different shade of grey (there are 50 different shades you know...) that doesn't surprise me. The crevice tool on my U800 is a different shade from the hose nozzle. That is cheap products for you, but none-the-less good performing. |

So you recknon that T300 is not all original then - I thought it looked a tidy cleaner and bidding starts at £17. Its in Manchester so I could drive there to get it |

Only the crevice tool is not original to that model. But it still looks like an original Philips part. As I said earlier, people often bought the 'missing' parts. |

I have the T300. It's a very late 80's/early 90's machine and replaced the P60 as the BOL cleaner. There were a lot of varieties of this style cleaner running well into the late 90's. I believe the P60 ran alongside the T300 for a while as it was slightly larger. Will post some catalogue pics when I get home |

Steve, I wouldn't let the fact it has plastic tubes put you off.
I have plastic tubes on my 1988 Hitachi Powerhouse CV2550 of the same era and I don't have a complaint against them. They are light, strong and durable. Of course metal tubes are always better and in the case of modern cleaners, such as my 2008 JMB SC1056, the tubes aren't made of good quality plastic and do snap, often where the hose nozzle connects to the first extension tube due to the friction fit tapered nozzle trying to pull the tube outwards when you push it in. That reminds me, I will have to glue that some time. This may come as a surprise to you, but I actually have a soft spot for BOL Vacuum Cleaners. Mainly because there is little to go wrong and what there is normally works for a long time due to the fact that the engineering didn't have to be spread out to cord winders and other gizmos so it was just centred around making a good motor. |

I've not made it yet! Will write it up tonight. It will be on my blog, as I can't write it up as I would like on here, so it will be a link. Waiting for the cloth bag/filter to dry so I can use it! |

Fantastic, thank you very much. All I need to do is spend £10 on an argos value cleaner, and have a perfect replica of the pipes and floor tool! No wonder they are not still with the vac, probably just as well, bet they would be in a state by now! Don't suppose you've got the blurb as well do you? |

That cleaner in the top three looks like a P81. The P80 replaced the P60, but was white & grey and had a 1000watt motor. The one pictured is white & grey and also has an all-round furniture guard. This was not present on the P60 or P80. |

Here is a picture of the P80. Identical to the P60 but in white & grey and 1000watt. Also no cord strap or furniture guard. |

Hiya Turbo. If it's a variant, it is likely to be the P61 or P62. One of them have neon lights, the other didn't. They had additional trim on(cord strap, furniture guard) the body of the cleaners. The P60 and P80 does not have those. |

The model behind was one of the best cleaners on sale at the time. They were not expensive and the quality was excellent. This looks like it came from around 1994 or so. Do you have a date? Also does it have a moulded plug? |

I'm slowly uploading some after shots for you all, as well as a video. Out upload speed is almost non existent at home, I normally upload things at work. 3gb of pics and video's in 25 mins ftw! The model number is HR 6260/ C 800W if it helps! Presumably makes it earlier than the above catalogue models. |

I've yet to find a panasonic upright with a stiff brushroll, they've all been soft. Shame really, as I've liked all the ones (early-mid 90's) I've used. Sure I read somewhere they did do stiffer ones (oo-er) BT have finally fulfilled their contractual obligation to provide sh*te internet, and the pictures have uploaded. So... |

"Sure I read somewhere they did do stiffer ones (oo-er)" Well lets hope Sam, nothing worse than a poor brush roll.
I like mine nice and stiff, it's just no fun otherwise. Deary me I should lift my mind out of the gutter and this coming from somebody who slated 50 Shades of Grey! I'm ashamed of myself. |

Would the finish on these have been shiny or matte? It's matte at the moment, but can't work out if that's the scratches and scuffs causing that. Don't want to hit it with the machine polisher just yet incase I ruin it. |

Cut down one of these... I do have a vac freshener somewhere. At work, in our collection of ancient samples (work for a marketing company) is a Glade drop-in air freshener from 1992. Will save it from the bin. Should be suitably retro. Will pop it behind the cloth bag |

Showing how leaky this still is, this was after the below video's. Made a massive mistake though, haven't yet cleaned the hose, and the bag and this are now full of plaster dust again :( Nothing to the extent that it was before, but still annoying. Still, downy soft inner bag |

Lol ok J, I'll try and explain (will try, as said air freshener is sat on my desk out of bounds until Monday!) Imagine something the size of a pen lid, that is the air freshener. Was thinking of taping it onto here somewhere, imagine the smell will still permeate the air. Bag Compartment. |
