Rear view
I was looking out my office window (1st Floor) at the skip (dumpster) that was next door where they were moving out. I noticed a grey cleaner, was it a Panasonic? ...no, maybe a Turbopower. I had a rule that I would not go beyond the 1104 Junior and the last Senior, but it was there, and for free ...

No, not at all
It appears to be working fine, excepting that I think it needs a new headlight. The business next door closed down (it was a branch so staff were transferred elsewhere) and the building was cleared for re-furbishment. It was not the only thing that I got from the skip, but no more cleaners. I hate to see things wasted when clearly they still have useful life in them, not to mention the envoirnmental considerations. Al | ||

The bulb on the Turbomaster is the same push fit design. You do not remove the height right control before lifting the hood as on the Turbopower.

the method
Thanks for all the info guys :) I have chosen the method I will use, and thats to let Jack do it - whichever way! There are more than enough examples of Jack's handiwork around to convince me that he could do a FAR better job than I could, especially as it appears to be quite a rare version, which I dont want to screw up. I wondered about the height levels on the lens cap, and now I know. It seems curious that they used a "mechanical" means of achieving this, although I suppose its simple enough. Its reminiscent to me of the bag full light that used to be on the Hoover Starlight, which seemed to be something of a "Heath Robinson" as well, Al | ||

Well, I do it my way - much quicker and simpler, and I can't actually see how anyone could damage the lens, unless it got dropped it once it was removed. The instruction book was written for the general public. We're Hoover-folk ;) | ||

Al, The Turbomaster height control looks great when it's illuminated. It's a shame yours is missing the air freshener cover/slide control. At the top of the bag door on the inside, there should be a black holder to take one of the round air fresheners. | ||

Al, thanks for your vote of confidence, I'm touched :) | ||
