Thanks Vaccumlad1650!! I just sent you an email!

Bearing Keepers So does anyone actually have any spare bearing keepers that they can part with? If not I guess I will try to find a vacuum shop and see what they can do!

Awesome Kevin! That makes so much sense now!! Now I just gotta find some!! Thanks so much!!

Kevin thanks! Yes that would be super awesome!!!

HMMMMM. Someone on another group said the same thing! Gosh I have no idea what they would actually look like. Where would I find these parts? Do you know the actual part name? Thanks for your help!!

So there is actually a metal plate on each side of the brush roll that is holding it down. They are in there! I'm assuming that is what you mean rugsucker?

Powerhead Hey guys! Ok here is the pictures of the power head! Let me know what you think!

I was looking online and I thought maybe the hose actually WAS original!! I'm glad to see that it is! That being said, it's really in exceptional shape for its age! I will try to get the pics of the powerhead maybe Sunday, so keep an eye out! I won't have time to get to it until then!!! This...

Paul, Thanks! I didn't realize the hose wasn't original! Thats fine though, because its likely aiding in the better suction I am getting! I will try to snap a pic of the power head insides in the next few days! I just mean that the beater bar isn't in there solid. It seems to rattle and be more...

Now that's perfect! Thanks! Now is that hose electrified? I don't see the wire on the outside! I like the suction vent covered handle at the top. Mine is cream and just has the little cuff that covers the hole. Doesn't work well at all!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! You guys rock! Just the info I was looking for! Looks like I need to find a teal power nozzle, a teal floor attachment with the ivory bumper, and teal tools! Oh and an electrified hose! I tested the suction without the hose today and it pulls my hand right to the...

Ah! Great guys thanks! I forgot to mention there is a weird smell from the exhaust when I turn it on. It smells like that old vintage motor smell.. I'm hoping it dissipates as I use it more! I found a guy who services and restores Electroluxes in the Chicago suburbs. I'm gonna have him check it...

Hello! I just joined this group because I finally came across an Electrolux vacuum that I just had to have! (First two pics) I paid a whopping $5 for it at a junk shop! I'm new to these vacuums so I was hoping you all could give me some info! I'm trying to find out what the original attachments...
