This one was given to me by a good friend who works for Dyson. And is in almost new condition for a 1979 machine.

Pat Most Australian made Hoover's had the power switch on the hood, thier where only a few models that had the switch on the handle and most of these machines where imports from Hoover US like the DAM powerdrive or Concept Ones. Mark

Steve, Pick most of mine up at Trash and Tresure markets or on ebay now. Godfreys used to be good but since the govement changed the laws re the resale of second hand appliances the have all but stopped selling the tradein machines. Thier is a warehouse out west that has thousands of old machines that will will be trashed at some point so I'v been told. I'm in Surry Hills. Mark | ||

Those are both beautiful machines, and in amazing condition! I love the bright orange commercial version - still looks like something you could buy new today! | ||
