As requested! This Sensotronic System 20 S3450 dates from January 1988, and has only been used 3 times in it's 21 years! It's still in its original box and packaging, and wrapped in plastic. |

How often do you see these intact? Once they lose their 'stick' and the corners start to curl, they prove irresistable to fingers! |

...are the tools. You can lift off the upper lid while the machine is running because the tool caddy seals the bag compartment. Neat! |

If you come across a spare Sensotronic 3 hose across the pond, let me know. I have the US version, called Electronic 1000, a nice machine that did not catch on here. Nice score on the NIB vac! John |

Sorry they're a little pixelated, I had to compress the original file, which was huge, and hi-res pics don't really like being compressed! |

HMmm seems like a trend with Model names going on here Ours is a system 3 and its features are the same as the 2nd series System 30 which in turn are similar to the later system 300s features. SO Was there a system 5 from the first series to match Mikes 50 machine and the 500? I guess there will also be a series 2 to match Jacks 20 and the 200? Shame they didnt use exact colour matches for the Tubopowers, Only one I can see is our ST and TP's both mid range matching in Burgundy. |

This is a puzzle, I lifted my numbers from the service manual as well??, the series 1, models 1,2,3,4,5 as far as I remember had the cream hoses, which where so cumbersome especially with the big handle!!! which why I was surprised to see these tools & hose with it!! are the tools from a later model perhaps?? Paul, my black Sensotronic is from series two, its the system model 50, model S3328......here is my other model from series four, and its the system 50, model S3456...this was the SURPRISE COLOUR we couldnt work out from the books etc until Jack solved the mystery by taking the lid off to reveal the tools, its true colour was blue...it had been wrapped & stored in a black plastic bag and had "FADED" to the greenish model on the outside!!!truely UNIQUE...lol System 50, model S3456, with the larger power nozzle 300, which is nowhere near as powerful and the previous smaller model but had a bigger brushroll!!! |

Wow Jack, glad you managed to bag one of these, I also wondered why the audio wasnt on the TOL models of the range!!! At this point we see the models become more compact, and easier to use & store for the smaller UK homes, and then later changed to last sensotronic?? the SC060 model!!! Here are the audio commands so you can await her sexy voice!!! she purrs: Italian: Per favore accendermi!! La mia borsa è imbottita pieno, vuota per favore i miei sacchi!! Premere il mio bottone un più tempo, l'amo!! Fermare stare in piedi sulla mia corda, lei la persona orrida!!! Questa casa è sporca, lei sporca lo slut!! French: Allumez-moi s'il vous plaît!! Mon sac est bourré complet, videz s'il vous plaît mes sacs!! Appuyez sur mon bouton encore une fois, je l'aime!! Arrêtez d'être debout sur ma corde, vous la personne horrible!!! Cette maison est crasseuse, vous la salope sale!! Looking forward to seeing & hearing the vids!!!!, Mike |

Here's the post of last year with hoover brochre featuring the 2nd series of sensotronics, 1983.I see that the hose in yours has been replaced, the original one was much heavier and less flexible than the replacement. Enjoy. I'm trying to scan pictures of the brocgures showing later sensotronic series but my scanner isn't collaborative today, I beg your pardon, Tommy CLICK HERE TO GO TO tommymilan's LINK |

I've just given that a try, and although the error number is flashing on the control panel, it's still not saying anything :S |

sounds like the strong silent type? (ho ho!). Maybe the voice processing section/pcb is faulty? Does it say anything at all? |

Great filming Jack, wow...had forgotten how powerful that head is!!! much better than the later models...I think we`ll take this next year for the monster cleaning competition, it`ll suck the wind right out of Chicago thats for sure... We wer`nt sure whether the fine white powder on the brushroll was from the carpet or it was pulling the white tiling grout through the rug!!!....LOL Thats one cleaning monster!!cheers, Mike |
