Base plate has obviously seen some abuse! More than likely screws on a door bar not being flush. Brush is in very good condition though |

I have the brochure for that series of Panasonic's on my laptop. I also have a video of the same cleaner on my YouTube channel (link to follow).
My childhood vacuum was the later style white 700w MC-E44. I'm lucky enough to still have it. I'll post the brochure for you when I get home. In the meantime, here's a few threads regarding the Panasonics. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Turbo500's LINK |

Ha!! Classic.
According to my Mum, as soon as I could walk, I was pushing the vacuum around. Mum used to HATE the interest and at one point, banned the Argos catalogue so I couldn't look at the vacuum pages. She was convinced I would grow out of it, but never did and now she doesn't get a day in it anymore. I was such a nosey kid and knew what vacuum and washing machine was in every house on my street. Keep an eye on your e-mails, Matt, I'll send you over some old 90's catalogues and brochures in a .zip file. |

That would be great Chris thanks :) You had me confused at first there I was thinking 'how does he know my Email?!'. Only just realised you can view the profile of people on here! I'll have to update mine! |

Blimey, you've had some classics over the years!
I knew of a few Kirby's when I was younger. My Mum had a Legend 2 (bought at my Dad's insistance after a Kirby demo), but she hardly used it - she found it too heavy and awkward to use, especially as my Dad didn't help out around the house AT ALL and with 2 adults, 4 kids and 4 cats, she needed something that did the job and did it quickly, so she stuck with the Panasonic. My Aunty Lynne had a Tradition that I remember well. My Dad's parent's had an Electrolux 610 and a Goblin Aquavac Multisystem. My Mum's parents had the yellow Hoover Junior Deluxe hardbag. Oh, I should probably shut up or I'll be here all day lol. Yes, your e-mail address is on your profile. I'll send over the brochures once I'm home and on my laptop. |

There is a small slither of plastic broke at the side of the handle. I have the broken piece still so you could super glue it back into place and you'd never know! |

This was the deal breaker for me and why I decided not to restore this machine.... The height setting markings are scuffed LOLim too much of a perfectionist I'd never be happy with it |

Cool :) Joe, have a think about if you want the left overs... its not going to be much use with a missing wheel, latch and bag door haha The only real useable parts left would be the tools, autosense panel, the motor and brush roll... |

Reply#35 -
"If Alex only wants the bag door, could I buy the rest of the machine from you? That's only if Alex doesn't want it though!" Reply#40 - "does the motor sound okay if so could I have it and tools and brushroll" The "rest of the machine" includes the motor, surely? Therefore, technically, Joe asked first? |

Joe... I'd be VERY surprised if postage is more than £10. I've sent a Miele S7 before fully insured for around than £15! And Alex... I know I know, I need to order filters and belts.... Like I say, its my rainy day project LOL |
