Hello,
So I have recently became a member of one of those buy sell trade groups on facebook. You know the ones I am talking about, the ones where poor single moms buy hand me down kids clothes, and the rest is cracked Iphones, and car parts. So the only reason I joined is because a friend of mine is a admin, and he added me, so ok I will go with it even though chances are slim of me finding anything. But.....Low and behold! I couldn't believe it. In the rough, with all the scads of ads for cracked I phones, and yesterdays game systems....There it was, for $8.00, a Coppertone Hoover Spindry twin tub! I did not just go and casually purchase it, I DESCENDED upon it!!!!
I am extremely glad I did, not only was the price right, but it is also in VERY good condition too! Little tinsy bit of rust coloring on the bottom side, and just wear from use. i was told it was one owner, and kept in the correct environment.
Now, the only thing I can see that it needs is two belts. There are two heavy serpentine belts, and two softer stretch belts. I needs the two softer stretch belts. But every thing else is free, and looks like it would have no trouble working. I asked A Hoover expert about where to obtain those belts, he informed me that they are of coarse NLA here in the U.S., So what can I use as a substitute? or What U.K. Model numbers can I use to match the belts that I need if I have no choice but to import them?
