    So I'm addicted: just found a pretty cool Electrolux

    Thanks!!! Thank you so much for the information!!! I feel so lucky to have found this machine. I did replace the motor filter with a new tri-star one. I also replaced the fabric bag and paper bag with new ones from Tristar. I hope that's adequate?!?! It doesn't not say any number on the...

    How would I figure out what year this is

    I found this Compact vacuum. I am super excited because this thing is in brand new condition! Owner said his grandmother used it once and stuff it in a closet. I have a mid 90's tri-star so this is my first older/vintage vacuum. How would I figure out it's exact age? Thanks
