So, yesterday I was surfing through eBay as I do, daily, then, I spotted a Turbopower 2, nothing new there, the pic was from the back so I decided to click on it to see what model it was, when I opened up the listing and saw the photo from the front, I almost fell off my chair in shock and excitement!! It was an early 1992 Turbopower 2 U2462 with the piston bag check indicator!!!
It was from Yorkshire but that was not gonna stop me! I must of clicked the buy it now button faster than the concorde flew. The seller wouldn't post at first but after a big sob story, he agreed to "post" it, I put that in air quotes because he brought it to me personally, how nice of him! 😀 It is a bit mucky but it runs as sweet as anything and the bag door doesn't have so much as a stress mark. Here she is anyway, find of the year!!!! 😃😃😃😲😲😲😲😀😀😀😀 This post was last edited 07/04/2015 at 06:58 | ||

Gumtree I noticed this yesterday on my local Gumtree, and I think that the Turbopower 2 on the second picture also has a piston bag indicator, but I'm not sure. Still a nice little lot which I have intention to purchase.

The cleaner in the 2nd photo is a Turbopower 3. See the taller hose. Also has four lamps on the panel, one of which is for the bag indicator. | ||

"Oooh nice! Not even a moulding mark for the bag indicator! Looks in good condition too!" Yep, being a very early model, it was before they started the light, my one is from June 1992 :)
It is in pretty good condition, the usual scratches but not bad, it runs really well and the bag door is intact! lol. | ||
