Hi again,

This is another machine I recently acquired, however it's still in Melbourne at my brother's place, so I don't have a better photo.

The ID plate has fallen off the base. It's just a sticker and my brother tells me there's some residual glue, now covered in fluff, where the plate would once have been.

Can anybody tell me the model number? What manufacturing years did this model span?

Cheers,

Nick

Date of Dial A Matic

 It does not look like there is a height adjustment in the front. So it would be an early model here in the states.
Hoover came out with the Dail a matic in 1959/60 and then
just a couple of years later the next model had a height
adjustment on it. Now realize (I'm not sure of the year)
The self propelled Hoover, dail a matic came out. It's
carpet nozzle was self adjusting, like they thought the
reg. model was. Remember that in the states the early 60's
more in the latter part of the decade. The wall to wall carpet bomb came. Then
shag, some times 3in length in shag. The Dial a matic would not cut
getting trough the longer, thicker carpets. So the self
propelled became the "Big" seller in the midwest !

Australian Dynamatic

Hi Nick

Your Dynamatic is model number 1125A it was the second generation of Dynamatic made at Medowbank in Sydney. The first was model 1125 around 1967 with automatic height adjustment also made in orange.

Then yours the 1125A the only difference is the height adjustment on the front. The last of the OZ made Dynamatic was the U5012 the power switch was moved from the handle to the body of the cleaner this model ran until about 1974.

Hope this helps
Mark

Correction...

 The Dial A Matic came out in 1963. The model 1100 was the first. Height adjustment was first available on the model 1130 which I believe was from around 1969/1970 (like the one I found last weekend).

Fred,

The dates in my post are for the Australian made DAM's not the US.

Thank again ...

 Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update, and the picture of the later model with the power switch on the side.

And thanks to Fred and Norm too. It's interesting to see the dates differing according to where the model was first released/made. The model 61 was in the US around 1940, but didn't make it to UK/AU as the 612 until 1947/1948 (I think). Similar story with the 65/652/6525 range and now, apparently, the DAMs.

Cheers,

Nick
