Hoover Junior U1104 Refurb & Demo

[@richardbilot608]

You did an awesome job of fixing that Hoover it looks like brand new from the factory

[@HooverLux]

+Richard Bilot Thanks Richard, I was impressed with the result myself tbh 😂, I need more practice with the brushrolls

[@richardbilot608]

HooverLux you do a good job on the brush rolls too they come out like new every time you’re done cleaning them 😊

[@HooverLux]

+Richard Bilot the newer ones are som much simpler, but the older ones are just so much fun

[@HooverLux]

+Richard Bilot I’m currently working on the metal ones for my Juniors. They certainly do come out better after wire brushing them.

​so, I'm Ready To Wait For The U1104, Mr.@@HooverLux​.

[@revooh1]

you made a superb restoration job of this cleaner with your meticulous approach. I noticed you attached the bag assembly to the air duct but the black seal seems to be missing?

[@HooverLux]

+revooh1 ahhhh, I will have to go back and have a look, thanks for noticing 😁😁😁

[@revooh1]

it may be the seal is made anyway without them. part no. 09004797

[@HooverLux]

+revooh1 I will definitely check on that.

[@dyson37]

Might be interesting to see if you use them polishing products and the drill etc to see if it will whiten a yellowed vacuum instead of retro whiteing.

[@HooverLux]

+dyson37 I would have to sand it from a higher to finer grit and then plastic cut and polish

[@HooverLux]

+dyson37 I will have a go at a completely broken machine part and see how it goes

[@dyson37]

Great. Will be interesting to see.

I found the belt hard to put on as well, ended up using a screwdriver to pull the belt over the spindle

[@HooverLux]

Ah yes, it can be a right doo dah to fit on sometimes. 🤣

[@conzi119]

if you think a regular junior belt is hard try fitting a kirby belt to it.

[@HooverLux]

+VacuumCleanerReviews two screw drivers and bleeding stump fingers 😂😂😂

[@nazeeradil3138]

Good effort. Seems a bit discoloured, isn't it?

[@HooverLux]

NAZEER ADIL it’s a bit maybe, not sure if it would have been a bit lighter new, but the inside of it seemed the same as the outside, that normally the five away as the inside stays good. Think maybe just a sign of the times beige and brown lol.

[@dalewho7366]

No, they really were that colour. Lots of beige, and lots of brown, and sometimes cream accents. I've got several this colour... so very early 80s!
