Hey all ! Last year I bought a lot of Electrolux cans and accessories from the same seller, he had other makes for sale but I insisted that I was interested in ELux only. BUT, I couldn't resist when I saw a Rainbow D2 with a hose in fair condition and a lot of accessories, including the ones...

Thank you for your answer, Jon.

Thanks for your answers.

Interesting, I have six Super J's, four of them have the cast aluminium door bag panel and two of them are powder coated gold. I understand they were equipped with the same motor but the last ones were sod with a 5 year warranty, right ? Is there anything else you can tell by the serial numbers ?

This telescoping wand came with other stuff I bought (3 Electrolux's with hoses and so on). Can anyone tell me what make it is? It is in very good shape so it could be useful for someone else.

Do you mean this one ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Vacuum-Cleaner-Airway-Sanitary-System-Toledo-Ohio-Airplane-Logo-1920-s/153699430622?hash=item23c93330de:g:RsMAAOSwkARdtG1B

Yesterday I tried to access the motor itself , without success. I removed the brushes and the grease sticks, also the fan at the bottom of the motor, and the four small nuts that were on the base of the motor casing. How and where is the casing supposed to separate ? I tried to figure it out...

Really cool, indeed ! Thank you Les and Alex ! Madman, thanks, I'll thoroughly clean the brushes for sure. As for the sliders or holders, this won't be an easy task unless I find a way to open the motor casing up. CLeaning is actually one of the main reasons why Id like to access the motor.

Here are views from both ends of the handle, showing that it is hollow. There is a number stamped inside the vacuum casing. Don't know if it could help finding the year of the machine. I'm not sure that there is an oiling port because there are actually to greasing ports, one for each of top...

The handle is actually hollow for sure on mine.

Here are a few more pictures. I removed the small plate and I was surprised to see nothing special behind it. The plate is on one side and the grommet with the cord is on the opposite side. I also pulled the brushes out. They are very tiny compared to Elux ones. They look like they're still...

Alex Yeah, I just saw them a few minutes ago.

Here are two pictures of the US and Canadian patent numbers, I don't know how it would help to find the year of fabrication... I also posted pictures of the motor casing. On the upper section of it are two black plastic plugs with a square hole, do they give access to the motor brushes? Also...

I will pull the motor out these days to see what is the condition of the brushes, rotor and stator. I'd probably need some help in the process, just to make sure I wouldn't break something I couldn't replace. I'll post a few more pictures of some features of this model.

Thank you Alex for your answer. So I understand that this vacuum is very unique, and that chances I find a bag and attachments are pretty close to zero, right ?

Hey there ! A friend of mine took this very old vacuum out of his shed and asked me if I could make it work again ! I plugged it and it had run for 1 second with lots of sparks, then I shut it down and tried again a few seconds later and it was dead. Is it still possible to get a bag and spare...

Last time one of my Electroluxes made this kind of noise, the rotor in the motor had one section destroyed...

Very nice machine! I like this special colour scheme.

I've looked at several pictures of hoses of different upright models on ebay and other sites and most of them show a lip at the very end of the connector that mine doesn't have, that's why I asked my question.

Charles, do you think I could simply epoxy-glue a ZB-89 metal connector, for example, over this plastic end?
