Retail for a set of new springs, grommets and washers is £16-20 so how much for a used set (38? years old) of pre Nirvana Springs?

I won't bother putting them up here but there are several examples of Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners being flogged on Ebay (and Amazon) for a lot more money than the same ones on the official Dyson site. I hasten to add the only reason i know this is because I have just concluded a purchase of said brand of cordless vacuum cleaner.

LP12 inner platter kit anyone?

That raises 2 questions, how did the spindle get to be separated, and how the &*?$ do you get it back in properly?

(well, 3 questions. Wheres the 'matching' bearing?)

(well, four questions actually. Why would you bother? :roll: )
