Addition to above list: "Custom" - U4121, ranger hood

Thanks for the info., Ray.

Willy-Nilly "They threw the terms "Custom", Deluxe" and "Estate" around pretty whilly-nilly." Not so--some cursory research shows that Hoover's terms changed as new lines were introduced. Admittedly, from a researcher or collector's perspective it would have been less confusing if Hoover's...

I am thinking that Hoover's model #s went in sequential order, too. The model U4127's colors were alpine green and oyster white, and years of manufacture were circa 1978-1983. I would surmise that the Model U4119 was also introduced in 1978 (or late 1977), but I think it had a longer run. I'm...

Congratulations on becoming an Electrolux Model G owner! Keep in mind that the spring and latching mechanism of an Electrolux USA (now Aerus) cord winder is similar to a roller shade. When a roller shade loses its tension one needs only to extend it to the length of the window and allow it...

Hi Michelle, I agree that you can't go wrong with a $3.00 purchase. Since you seem to do so much antiquing and garage-saling you're bound to find more Model 30s which may be used for swaps. Craigslist and online auctions also list parts from time-to-time. Keep us posted!

I believe chicagomike's wares are reproductions.

Reply #8 Here are the different versions of the Model G and their production years: Aqua - front pigtail cord receptacle: 1960-1962 Aqua - side pigtail cord receptacle: 1962-1966 Golden ("GG") - front or side pigtail cord receptacle (Salesman Award): 1960-1966 Tan - side pigtail cord...

Andy, Cool photos and interesting story about your vacuum collection. I'm sure the Electrolux man looked forward to going to your grandma's house. Sounds like a good plan to collect the models she used over the years. Re: the models 6 and 6A do you notice any differences other than the...

Thanks for the advice. I haven't used the paint pens; sounds like a good idea. Regarding the "boat-shaped" border of the 1962 Electrolux Corporation (USA) logo, here are the colors of those on the side bumpers from 1968-1982: Model 1205 (teal): red (sometimes the red has turned darker over...

Andy, You're welcome!

Ray, Do you by chance have a list of which power nozzles originally were paired with which cleaners from 1985 and on? For example, my research indicated power nozzles with models 7, 7A, 7B, 1750, 1751, and 1752 and others which seem to be rare, and I've never seen them paired with a cleaner...

Manufactured in 1991-1992 the cleaner is a Model 1677/Diplomat LX. Its colors are navy and light sand. It was the second iteration of the Diplomat. The LX suffix (see the coronet symbol on the name label) refers to "lux", the unit of illuminance in the International System of Units (SI) which...

Re: Replies #2, #7 Hi, #2: Unless you have already done the research or have documnetation did you know that the Grand Marquise and the Legacy looked identical? The serial id (2 letters with 5 digits in between), which is stamped on the stabilizer is the only way, besides documentation or...

I wanted to mention that I discovered that the original Nylatch fasteners--by Hartwell Corporation--are still available (the part that attaches the sudser shield to the machine) from Aerus LLC or other online sources. The grommets, from my experience, are more likely to break or wear out than...

Congrats on the Z75. I'll be curious to know how you think it compares with the tanks of its era. The Model CBs in the states were only superior in their larger capacity--not their performance. Initially, the motors were the same as the tanks--the economy version at that (Model L). Later...

Jimmy, I appreciate the background as always. _____ Thanks for responding, Sries. Wish I could figure out the difference between the 1451 and 1451E, then--I thought the "shut-off" was it.

Check this ... an ivory Model L with its original fleur de lis carton listed now on eBay. Got $200 lying around? Model L colors timeline: '63-'66: ivory w/teal trim '66-'68: tan w/brown trim '68-'74: teal w/ivory trim '74-'79: gold w/ivory trim...

Ahhh, shucks. Here I thought I'd stumbled across something rare and valuable. Thanks for all the responses. I like the look even though it isn't original, though. P. S. I did know about the hammertone blue coupler but thought Model XXX overstock may have been used.

I noticed this on eBay and wondered--since it resembled the Model XXX hose with the repeated XXX pattern--if it was an early Model E hose. I've never seen another like it, so I doubt that it would be an aftermarket version as those would be seen more frequently along with others. What do you...
