There were two wire coils in the hose (If you notice the hose is striped with a separate colour on each of the coils too).

The 24V powernozzle circuit wasnt grounded. It was designed to be an isolated circuit (aka you would have to touch both connections to get a shock (a single wire ran down the inside of the wands and the wand itself was the other pole for the circuit). When the primary and secondary windings...

No its this one that had the motor turning with the cord reel (1961). The crank is on the front.

Then in the 1980s they changed to this style. They were out of the market entirely in the 1990s but then tried to make a comeback with the Chinese made machines in 2000 but that didnt last long

Hi Jeff - nope they put out this style in the 1970s

One of the last Lewyts from around 2001 - This was the top of the line. Smith Marchand Corona still owns the rights to the name and had this series made in China for sale here under the Lewyt name. (Picture is from my web page - part of my collection)

Gasp cough cough choke - would love it but with shipping and exchange they add up to more than I make in a month

Thank you

Oops - guess I should have put what models they were too: Back row - model 77, model 88, model 90 Center row - model 90a, model 97, model 105 Front row - model 107, 111, 120 Im still missing the models 95, 115 and 121 and dont have the power nozzles for the 107 or 111

I do have a few of the big wheels models (and still a few I am missing too)

Just an idea for you. This is how I have my Tuec set up (I still need to find an original wall outlet for it though.

The vacuum in the photo is an Electrolux model 6. Almost the same as the model 5 but it didn't come with the runners and the handle is all silver instead of having the bakelite inserts. (From what I have seen it also had a shorter hose and no upper wand)

Thank you. LOL there is a reason I have tons of information both paper and on the computer. It does come in handy occasionally.

I did a bit more checking and I may have found it on a list of Sweedish machines - same body design as above but in blau (blue) Model Z26 1944-1949

its very similar to the model Z48, but it isnt one. The switch is different and the colour appears different too. Though that could be just the picture. It looks to me very like a model 36 (pic below), Though if the colour is different it may be a slightly later model in the 40 series

I have a spare Black and Decker to trade lol - Picked it up for another collector two years ago and havent heard from him since. Fairbanks Morse, Firestone and several other well known farm dealers had full lines of household goods as well. The idea was, when the farmer sold his crop and came...

Hi everyone and thank you for the kind words. I try to provide what ever information I can. Re the Regina style GE machines - that goes into the history of Switson Industries in Canada. Switson Industries, of Welland, Ontario, was the largest manufacturer of vacuum cleaners in Canada from the...

To be quite honest, getting rid of door to door salesmen has been very detrimental to both the industry and the consumer. Yes there always were some very shady salesmen. But there were also some very good ones. By having the salesman show the vacuum in the customers home the customer was...

I have the Volta U155 which is another version (note it has the power nozzle connection)

This is the flyleaf that came with the above manual for the Z54
