Hello guys, I'm going to restore some of the dial-a matics of mine and I need to purchase some original metal brushrolls for them as, especially the mid-eighties, dial-a-matics made in France for european market used a plastic brushroll with no repleaceable brushes and plastic beating bars. Original brushrolls are no longer available in Italy and some repair centers use to fit Convertible's brushrolls cutting them a little bit and fixing original DAM's brushoroll's ends and inner shaft but this is not good epecially because on convertibles brushing action is directed towards the center of cleaning nozzle while on dams it has to be directed to the side where suction opening is. Would any of you be able to purchase some brushrolls for me or sell me some old ones as I can still find ball bearings bearings and brush strips for them? Any help will be much appreciated. Kindest regards, tommy Milano |

I never remember seeing the colour here myself, we still arnt sure if it was a "SPECIAL" for C0-op or other store etc...its a lovely colour I agree, BUT thats another thing that Hoover where famous for, they loved their COLOURS!!! I nearly didnt get it, I went to pick up a Hoover washer & dryer and a couple of vacs from a supplier, he had a "JUNK" corner and said mays well help yourself to those for free...so I did and all where filthy & grimey so I didnt realise the significance until I posted about it!!! |

Hello Tommy, Love the 'line - ups'of all your Hoovers. If I here of any roller parts looking for a home I will keep you in mind. Mike, Is the U5032 mechanically identical to the usual 1120 range ? Regards, Walter. |

Hello Walter, in my opinion Mod 5032/5034 are exactly the same machine as 1120 range with the difference of the front cover inherited from the Power Drives with headlight.Later models U U5034 featured a plastic brushroll replacing the traditional metal hoover agitator and their sound is a little bit quieter, smoother,and in my opinion less effecient than the previous. The last model produced in France for European models, mod U 5076, features a two-speed switch (530 and 800 watts) and sadly older Hooverflex hose was replaced by a common standard plastic hose with pistol grip (like the one used on late Sensotronics). I have dismanted and remounted several of them and the motor is just the same for all models, even shared with portable (italian "neccessaire"and portapower vacuum cleaners. I hope this helps. Tommy |
