Hi I have managed to get my 0307 up and running it has 1954 stamped on the tub. I put a heavy duty 2 core flex on it with a 13amp fuse. Managed to get ribbed industrial hose with a 19mm internal diameter and secured it to the bottom of the tub with a new hose clip.
The Pulsator was jammed due to lack of lubrication and dried up soap powder which had got behind it and it broke in half on removal. I have managed to put it together with what claims to be a waterproof adhesive but my gut feeling is it wont last long.
Has anyone got a pulsator they would be willing to sell me. Its smaller than the one for later hoovers and the spindle is of a narrower diameter. I have enough hose left to do another machine if anyone would like it. Its not rubber so it is not as flexible as the original but it does the job.
