    (1988) Electrolux Special Edition model 1572E.

    Hey Paul - The reason the Special Edition LE wasnt on the brochure was that it wasn't available through the stores. The ones on the brochure were mall show specials for the stores which had to be special ordered and were drop shipped direct to the customer. The Special edition LE was made for...

    Why not Electrolux?

    Instead of being fitted tight against a rubber seal the motors were suspended on a rubber gasket which dampened the vibration. That, along with balanced fans, good bearings and, in most cases, after filters effectively dampened the motor noise.

    Would My Electrolux Have Metal or Plastic Wands?

    The Canadian machines (which the original 2100 was - 1985-87) never had a second set of wands. When they remade the 2100 in the late 90s as a special sale machine they came with plastic wands for the floor brush if memory serves.

    Pink GE

    Here's what the attachments for that one looked like. As Jimmy said, you put the rug nozzle into the two clips while attached to the hose and wands and used it to guide the machine around.

    GE Commodore Vacuum with powerhead (Looks like from Japan)

    Just a bit of information to throw in here. In Japan, Unlike the US, the major companies work together funding a single research division. Patents are held jointly and then the companies simply make modifications to the designs to their own specs. Hence a lot of the vacuums you see have parts...

    Sigma Seven Vacuum In Memphis

    I just came across this listing on Marketplace in Memphis and thought I should post it here. The Sigma Seven is a vacuum that one rarely sees and this one is in very good shape (with the exception of the rug nozzle lol). Hope someone in the club grabs it as shipping to me would be prohibitive...

    What is this UK Dialamatic?! Huh?!

    Just a guess but I don't remember seeing any power drive dial-a-matics in earlier English adds. Could that have been an import to "test the waters" so to speak? See if there was market for it there before re tooling to produce them in England. In which case it would have just been a US...
