G'Day blokes, from Western Australia. It's a very interesting site you have here!
I am wondering if I can get some help from some of you with an old, "very old", early to mid 1960s three brush, made in Australia, Electrolux domestic scrubber polisher. This was my mum's unit purchased I would recon about 1964 or there abouts and is a 32volt DC machine. It has lost drive to two of the brushes and I would like to find out what is inside the drive case, that is, is it gear drive belt drive, friction or whatever, and how do I get access to it to repair it. Are there any schematics or online maintenance manuals for these. I have had a look and can't find any numbers plate on it for model identification.
Thanks,
Graham
 
I just went out and cleaned it, and found the ID plate under the handle tilt area, so on the plate reads-

Model B9
Ser 0 (Ithink, but could be C or G, its a bit damaged)
Number ME 0078742
Volts 32
Watt 250

Mum would have purchased it about 1964, but I don't know if it was new or second hand, it may be older.
Unfortunately condition not good, but some of us would like to put together a small display of 32 volt household appliances for display at vintage days as a ladies interest thing, and if I can get it running and make it presentable it could be part of the display.

Thanks Guys,
Graham
