Steve, I cannot apologise enough for not thanking you for your very kind words in the video, in relation to my previous comments about your 104. I put my hands up, I didn't have the sound on for the whole of the video the first time I watched it, and by the time I realised this it had already passed that part. I am so glad you found my input useful. One small correction, the EaseElec vacuum that belongs to Sam is of a 104 style, not 102, but it does have "102" featured in the model number, and the way the accent colours have been applied to the flex hooks and handgrip is a mirror of the 102 cleaner, albeit using the 104 parts and a blue colour scheme. Similarly, the dust bag attaches to the cleaner in the same way as a 104 and not a 102. Chestermike has a "Swebline" 102 which can be found using an image search on a search engine, and that shows every bit of what a 102 looked like. On another note, later 104 cleaners had a 2-piece handle like the Hoover Junior - I've checked the comments I left on your video for the "Electra" 105C and I see I mentioned this before...I have often wondered why they were changed so late in the day.
With your new and improved kitchen layout there's now plenty of space for your infamous Goblin contests. Not sure if we prefer it more upright with the deep vibrating action or lying down with only straight suction. It is nice to have the choice we guess 😁 Have your Marigolds handy for dyeing as we will have to laugh - a lot - should you end up with navy fingers.
I don't think anyone in the 70s would have been in a position to have two vacuum cleaners from new at the same time, but it's an interesting concept. Indeed, given the cost of a vacuum cleaner then, and knowing only too well about how people had to budget, save, aspire etc, I have always been intrigued by the mindsets people must have been in when deciding when to replace things, what with, and how much to spend.
Every time I see those Goblin floor tools, I start singing "We're off to Button Moon, to follow Mr Spoon...". Every. Single. Time. If you know, you know. Anyway, I've had several of these tools over the years and agree they're great at cleaning hard floors (and I think they look really cute too), but what I can't be doing with is the noise they make from the air rushing through the hole in the brush plate and between the carpet plate. Every one I have used has been the same. This said, I have rarely used them on a Goblin, and on the one time I did take a Goblin 555 for an outing, the no-frills hollow, echoing roar of the cleaner pretty much drowned out the noise of the floor tool. It is also a mystery to me as to why on the Goblin Housemaid cleaners (and possibly the very last 104 too - I'd have to do some digging), they were supplied with the standard combi floor tool in place of a small tool and a dusting brush. Add to this, the wand on the hose was straight and tiny, and there was only one extention tube...I mean, as if the poor suction of the cleaner in tools mode wasn't enough to make someone not bother using the tools, the tools themselves didn't encourage the use of same...how easy would it have been to clean properly above floor level, with only a floor tool and a single tube? Rhetorical question, BTW, I know the answer is "not very". It never ceases to amaze me how so many cylinder cleaners before the 1990s had absolutely no wheels on them, and yet were still sold as being the perfect choice for homes with hard floors...when I see the underside of any Hoover Constellation, I cringe to think of the damage it likely left behind on hard floors...ditto when I see the Electrolux instruction booklets showing how a 170 upright can easily cope with hard floors AS AN UPRIGHT CLEANER! The 500 was bad enough, but at least they had front wheels. All this said, these cleaners you have here are truly beautiful examples of their kind. I do not wish to collect, it doesn't interest me at all to do so (I like to repair them and send them on their merry way), but at least I can live my interest vicariously through those who share their collections online. Your passion for your subject, and the commitment to keeping a collection is outstanding.
I am EXACTLY the same with the Button Moon reference!! You can't not see it! Interestingly I was pondering the same thing about the skids the other week. It was always Hoover who were the worst with this, at least Electrolux integrated some small wheels into the skids from the mid sixties onwards. Imagine dragging a 402 / 417 / 427 accross your lovely Parquet flooring only for the damn thing scratch and gouge a line though it. I'd have been livid!

Well burnished beechnut it was not.

@@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 'E said legs...'e wants to watch 'is mouth...that's why we came out, to get away from legs.
Maybe if I was around in early-mid 70s Britain, need two ok budget machine. I probably get both on credit 😂. Or just get a Connie.
