Helping my grandmother clean out the cloth bag in her Electrolux model 30.

Im mainly a washer, dryer and dishwasher collector, but Ive had at least 20 tank style vacuums come through my house in the last 11 years.

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?

Well I added a on/off switch to the "Economy" Lux model which apparently was blasphemy!
