Jon The grey trim and cord was brand new so they made it specifically for these rebuilds. The original power nozzle port must have been down by the front wheel because it wasn’t on the door. In the rebuild they moved it to the top for some reason. Could be because they retrofitted the older...

Here’s A Fun Thread About rebuilt Lux’s. https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?986

Andy That’s an original Aerus/Electrolux hose. I’m going to check to see if they still sell them. They sold them until recently.

Since I am isolating under California guidelines and have gone through my collection with Charles Lester I have renewed my interest in vintage Electroluxes. I have now owned every Lux since the XXX. BTW I did keep a pristine XXX for my collection. The last machine I bought new was a...

Jon Sorry, all the Lux hoses are spoken for. I have been working on putting complete machines together and have pretty much used up the Lux parts. That was my machine but Charles put the hose on from his own collection. Quite honestly if I had that hose I’m pretty sure I would have hidden it...

“A Good Time Was Had By All” Indeed Charles and I go back over 20 years to my beginnings as a collector. I had plenty of machines before but never kept more than a few. He started off my collection with the Lewyt Big Wheels (with the rare hose hanger to match the machine and toolbox!) when I...

Keith I have generally used the Electrolux Model chart as a guide. I watch the dates. When there was overlap the smaller machine was generally the economy model of the time. Still don’t like that way of referring to them. I just dug up this chart which appears to be very complete. It...

I Vote (If I have one) to take the machine out of the box and enjoy it! You can keep it new by not using it but believe me you’ll enjoy it much more out of the box. I have obtained my share of NIB machines over the years. Believe me they don’t go up in value. I am cleaning out my storage...

I Wouldn't Call Them Economy They were true Electroluxes without the bells and whistles. I've owned just about every model of Lux since the classic XXX. The S, R T and L were modeled after the E which was touted as light as a baby if you remember the ad. The LX had become so heavy with the...

Charles Don’t worry about Arlee. I’ll have him so charmed by the time you leave he won’t realize that the rear end of the car is dragging!

Update Crazykirbydude (sounds like me) In going through the storage unit there is an Electrolux Model Automatic F, a model S and ta da! a rather rare Model T thrift model. Charles Lester can give the history of that unusual machine. No Compacts. Charles Richard. Just to update - I am moving...

Hunster87 Do you realize you have the bag on backwards? Beautiful machine.

Charles Richard The last three on your list definitely have your name on them. Charlie Watrous has expressed an interest in the other Luxes. He actually gave me the Tan G and E. I will confirm his interest in those machines and let you know. If you are serious I’ll hold onto these machines in...

Both Luxes Are complete (and quite lovely.) I’ll set them aside for now. Your Kirbys are beautiful. You’ll recall the Omega (first Kirby I bought new) is a special machine to me. Mine has the original amored bag I got from you. See pic. With respect to the Model 29, you know the story well...

Charlie I’ll put your name on Geneva’s Ultralux with the hose and power nozzle and put it off to the side. I have some room in the garage. This is a painful experience but as you always said, the world only spins in one direction and it’s time to move on. Sure you don’t want the Lux E and...

OK Fixed the link https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/00ShowCollectionGETD.cgi?dir=/COLLECTIONS/COMPACTELECTRA/

I am finally emptying my storage unit after 4 years in Palm Springs. I have a number of nice generally complete and original machines available for pick up here. Anyone who knows me knows that my machines are not junk. You can check out my collection pictures...

Ah! Some great memories! It was about the vacuums but not always! https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?18604

Hey! Wow! Thanks for resurrecting this post. I was on the site today digging up some pictures of a couple of KitchenAid dishwashers (https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?82083_0~1) and saw this post at the top and thought something was seriously wrong with the site...

That’s a cast vacuum A setup to handle the dust when removing plaster casts. Usually found in Orthopedist’s offices.
