Steve

Do you remember the Zinger that was around some thirty years ago?

This tool too had a rotating twin nozzle,....cracking piece of kit ...The old man of Essex AKA Tony Abbott still has one in working order!

Thought someone mentioned Steve had the valve which gives a similar effect, I remember having a pulsing wand years ago, which was excellent.

If it was'nt Steve, does someone have the " pulsing " valves, or know where to get them ?

Sorry Steve  :-[

I had a senior moment there  ;)

Seriously the Zinger was well ahead of its time, some of you may remember Malcolm Beese of Systematic Cleaners (sadly no longer with us) selling the Mr Steam machines which later were relabelled the Dominator. The Zinger was the super duper version which had a floor tool with two rotating angled jets that simply cut through the dirt.

Now we have spinning jets in an enclosure, selling for about £2k, wonder where the idea came from ?

The pulsing action, I referred to, was, I think, from a piston driven pump, but I don't remember which machine I was running at the time.

What ever happened to Malcomb Bease. I remember him coming to demonstrate the Mr Steam machine and getting it out of a porsche! I did' nt buy it in the end but wished I had. Brought a Holoway Aquarius instead which was a big mistake as it weighed a ton and put me off cc for twenty years.

I remember the Windsor Zinger, and Malcolm Beese of Systematic Cleaners  during training courses for the CCA now NCCA which I attended.
The floor tool had a look of a flymo if memory serves me correctly, it really was a good machine.
It would be very interesting to see a pic of one now Derek.
