    Purchasing Electrolux B8 and B9 buffing pads?

    Just got my new to me B8 machine. However the buffing pads are worn out. Is there a place you gentlemen recommend for purchasing pads from? Thank you.

    UPDATE: Well, I listened to you guys and tracked down a 1966 B8. Need a deep cleaning but works great. How'd I do?
