Serial As you can see the serial is JS 15757 Sad to say nothing original much left on the machine. Seems to have been made up of others a Blue bag and a Dark Blue bag off two different machines.... Works fine though !

Hi Tim! Welcome! I've seen that senior a bit on ebay, glad it's gone to a good home! I was worried that the release mechanism was broken but if its just the handle then that's good! I havea spare handle if you need it, not got the correct handle grip on however, and I think they are a sod to get off! Brilliant outcome! | ||

hi Tim
i saw this as well glad you saved it .i have also had a couple of these with the handle broken at the bottom what i usually do is just cut an inch or two off the bottom and drill a new hole it hardly noticable once its all put back together however i do like your idea of the brush shank stuffed up the middle it will give it extra strength great idea

Great Idea Hi Anthony, Yepp had the cutting off the handle idea also. Would have been my next stage if I failed with the other. Funny how we people try and come up with solutions. Part of the fun and enjoyment eh. lol :-) Regards Tim | ||

Welcome
Hi Tim and another welcome to Vacuumland.
If it is of any interest to you I have a pink hood suitable for your Senior cleaner. Its a bit scuffed here and there which is not surprising after 50 odd years of use. As far as I can see its not cracked or warped. Its yours for the cost of postage (its not heavy but it will need to go in a box to protect it), send me an email if you are interested, email address is in my profile details Al | ||

Welcome Tim
Hi Tim and Welcome to Vacuumland!
Many thanks for posting the pics of the Senior, beautifully restored, when ever I see one it always makes me smile as the blue one pictured is what i grew up with! Hoover made amazing uprights for carpet but always wondered about the lacklustre suction for above floor cleaning and why they left it the status quo for many years. Once again, welcome and I know you'll have hours of fun reading the posts and pics mike | ||

Welcome
On closer inspection it seems that your Senior has been somewhat fiddled with -Im suspecting it was re sprayed and passed off in the 1970's as being brand new perhaps.
6525C Hood with a 6525E bag - joe blogs wouldnt have suspected a thing I think. But curiosly the 'Red Roundel' should be a silver trimmed burgundy roundel that was quite raised for a pink 652 instead of the later bright red foil roundel yours has. Sneaky LOL! | ||
