A look at my Dysons - December 2015

A long overdue update!

I bought all the Dysons I owned down from the loft before Christmas, and had a bit of a photoshoot. These pictures are out of date now, as there has been some movement.

is what it looked like!


Here we have the oldies:
DC01 De Stijl
DC01 Absolute+
DC01 Standard 
DA001
DC02 Standard






As for the rest:

The DC18 is awaiting surgery and refurbishment
The DC50 is waiting for a miracle!
The DC03 Clear is no longer with me, it now lives in Manchester in a glass case!
The DC03 Absolute Plus I still have
The DC05 Needs a new wand
The DC16 gets used daily

I also have a scrap DC02 Clear now, although that is being broken for spares. I also have a late DC01 Standard, which is faded and will be lent out to a family member after refurbishment as a stop gap vacuum.

I didn't mean to start collecting DC01's, it just sort of happened!

As you can hear, he doesnt sound healthy! So, off with his head!  Yummy!  Found this stuffed deep in the cord rewind system  it was VERY dusty! No wonder it blew dust out when turned on  Oh, the motor looks fun...  I cant believe this still ran! I started unpicking the wiring  Cord rewind cables out  Thermal cutout for the motor removed  identifing the wires one by one  Switch and power socket are out  Power socket stripped down for cleaning  contact rings removed ...

Vax 2000 Instruction Manual

This instruction manual is for the Vax 2000 3 in 1 cleaner. The first of the updated shape after the 121, and the design that Vax still use today with the 6131. Literally, you could swap and change parts around (bar the motor) as you pleased still!
