Well, i was on gumtree browsing expecting to find nothing but i was wrong! I saw this for a tenner and the very nice seller wanted £5 for delivery. So....of course me being me £15 later and she's mine!

This was/is in amazing condition. They did state that it's hardly been used but i didn't really think that was true. But wait until you see the picture of the commutator :D

Only a few scuffs and scratches on the sole plate but just very lite usage marks.

Also, it came with the user manual and "quick parts guide". Ill get pictures/scans of those one day. It also came with 5 bags 2 of those are genuine and a pack of 2 genuine belts. Thats saved a bit more cash in my pocket!

So anyway enough of me blabbering on here is the before pictures as usual then the afters. Enjoy!

18th November 1992 that was made.

That is converted to be used with paper bags if you remove that black panel you can use it as a shake out bag and I would say the bag inflates much nicer.
