. .   Tom, I'd love to have that red leatherette hassock in your second photo. How much do you want for it? Of course I'll cover shipping and careful packing. Thanks!

    Very  nice!   I'd be inclined to swap the cords on them: The gray cord with red plugs is original. The red cord would nicely match the red trim on the one with the tan bag.

, One of my favorite Electroluxes! Well, who am I kidding? They're ALL my favorites!     However, the tan G has a special place in my heart. My parents got one in 1968 to replace their battered E-Automatic.   I love how quietly the motor purrs; when vacuuming bare floors all you can...

You'll never believe what I found sitting by my front door this afternoon! It's another Olympia!! I have no idea who left it there but it obviously was someone who knows I collect vacuum cleaners. It's in lovely condition, only needing a quick wipe-down. It just came with the hose which leaks...

I just couldn't stop thinking about that Electrolux Olympia I saw at the thrift shop the other day. The more I thought about it and considered its excellent condition and how old it is, I finally decided to go back there and get it. Again, like I need it like I need yet another hole in the...

I went down to the church today and installed on my 918 the new original bag I got at the thrift store with the U7037. Isn't it a beauty! I have some very fond and humorous memories of the Hoover 913 and 918 from my childhood. One time, when I was 4 or 5, we visited my Uncle in Maryland. I was...

@tolivac - it's a dump bag.

No, I didn't get the Eureka. While it was brand new, it wasn't a vacuum cleaner that I am interested in.

I just couldn't stop thinking about that Electrolux Olympia at the thrift shop. The more I thought about it and considered its excellent condition and how old it is, I finally decided to go back there and get it. Again, like I need it like I need yet another hole in the head. Yeah yeah, call...
