I've not heard of the brand.

All I know for sure is that the phone numbers on here are pre - 1992 when the '1' was added after the zero in dialing codes.

its basically a rebadged victor

Worth the price?

[Paul Moss]

Its had a paint job, what speed is it ?

[heritagecleaning]

I need to mail them and ask that

[Billy Russell]

when they say no pad, i gather they mean drive board, see what a price is for one of them

[Billy Russell]

just looked, there around £120 with vat, add that to the price, i think you could get better cheaper if i'm honest

[derek west]

looks very much like the one i used to have, i would say don't bother unless money is extremely tight, go for a truvox or something heavier, they are just to light.

plenty of good truvox's on ebay for not much more money, and when your ready contact jamie at csuk and he'll sort you out with brushes and tanks etc.....

Thanks Billy / Derek.

I'll think I'll leave that one for now!

[Richard Cole]

Blimey Derek what do you mean by too light they weigh about 30Kg, well assuming they are the same as a victor sprite as Billy say's, must admit they look very similar.  Depends what your using it for but i would have thought for agitation of carpets or LM cleaning it would be fine, could even use it for hard floor restoration but yes it might be a bit on the light side for this.

I bought a brand new 175 rpm rotary the back end of last year! delivered to my door it was £250 it came with two drive boards! teo brushes one soft and one hard! and five red pads and ten litre chemical tank! cant remember the make, and it weighs 48kg perfect for everything i need

[heritagecleaning]

That's helpful Staurt, cheers!

[stuart_clark]

Still got the guys number if you want it ? Steve gun bought one as well

Check with Victor if this is a badged out version of one of theirs, certainly looks like a 400 Sprite.

Def find out the speed before you buy, and double check whether by "pad" he means pads or drive board.

Bottom line is it depends what you want it for as to what speed you need. Best all rounder will be a standard speed. Weight wise this will be over 30Kg so OK for bonnetting and basic hard floor scrubbing / cleaning.

If Victor say it's one of theirs and the seller offers a bit of warranty then this looks a decent buy.

If you're not convinced and want one soon try A3 Machines, who will also sell you a used driveboard for this if required.

Just noticed the phone codes on the plate, this certainly shows up its age. All geographic codes were changed to include 01 as of 1995
