Hiya Gary. Can I take it that the D6096 has been claimed to live with a certain A3110? Can I amend my lists to show that there are now two D6096's safe and sound? In anticipation of hearing good news! Paul |

Picture of it on its back has answered one question, but is it a definite keeper? Paul |

MAT & PAUL
Let me just say that this machine is not what either of you think it is, its origins will be revealed later. Took it to garage plugged it in....Dead.......hmmmm so i started at the plug end of things Hmm a bit like the 3203 keymatic plug, except the unusual colour (for Hoover) mains lead was in pristine condition |

I switched it on and.........what a bloody bone shaker!.......christ i have never heard such a noisy machine, it needs a complete service, the extractor fan bearing was dryer than a desert(thought these machines were sealed type without an extractor fan)
So i greased it that stopped the screeching sounds, but plenty of other noises to sort out I also checked the heating elements they are both working, the extractor fan belt is in good condition |

So alike, just plug in and blow up the bloody lot, then start shouting at it because you have to change the fuses or reset the RCD which means the bloody bedside clock will be flashing at you when you go to bed begging to be reset and if it’s anything like mine it a bitch to do so end up pulling the plug on it.
I bet you do the sniff test like I do, dose this smell hot and burnt or the quick touch test to see if you hair stands on end just can’t wait and take the lid off or check the connection first. |

it was mine i used to collect Triang railways stuff, that loco was from the late 1960s.
I sold it all about 6 years ago, i was bought a modern hornby loco as a present and it ran soooo much better than my old Triang stuff that i decided to go modern, i miss the old rattly triang stuff...........but the new stuff is miles better now then, Hoover and Triang were both producing gear in South Afrika when apartheid was still going the naughty lot, mind so were all the banks etc....... |

p.s would assume that the 0981 sticker would refer to September 1981. Is there a seperate serial number anywhere on the dryer at all? Paul |

Hello Paul
I had three Em2's electra Aurora and the electric blue test one (cant remember the name). oh christ i know i should put maroon mk1's but it is triang yah know ;-) Interiors It is amazing that these two machines built thousands of miles apart match so well, I wonder what Hoover did have over there, a Complete manufacturing plant or just an assembly plant. I did wonder if the model number would mess up your system ;-) I thought at first it was written in German when i glanced at the ratings plate......... I am glad to have found it though it sort of completes my 1100 matching dryer sets now. heres another triang pic |

Paul is correct in what he says, I do have a SA built cleaner and as Simon says its is very like the 4002 ranger. As I recall (the ad has dropped off my feedback) the seller (Dr Hoover - regular seller of vintage cleaners, I think he has had more money from me than any other ebay seller - worth it though) said that in order to get around the export restrictions while the apartheid regime was in power, kits of some parts where sent for assembly in SA with some locally sourced components. It had a shake out bag and spring (rather than spring loaded clip) - don't remember the handgrip etc. Perhaps some of our SA members can shed some light on the dryer
