Brian Glad to hear you have it back together and it’s running well. Nathan Thomas (electrolux-dude on here) is our resident expert on Electrolux and a great source of expertise on the subject. He wrote a post a few years ago about how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble a Super J motor...

Charles....... There might actually be FOUR of them altogether! I found two more that you aren’t showing here! https://m.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-BLACK-DECKER-Modern-Hygiene-Canister-Vacuum-Cleaner/232267655075?hash=item36143b27a3:g:i7MAAOSwOgdYxC5c And...

Number Thanks Nathan! I’ve updated it in my contacts! When I got this phone last year, I finally made the switch from android to Apple, and as you can imagine NOTHING was compatible between the two, so I lost most of my contacts! Those Silverados are amazing machines! I have one I picked up...

Nathan! Good to hear from you! I’m really glad you ended up with that Silverado! If anyone can give it a new lease on life, you’d be the person that could do it! I agree, I’m shocked it was running at all given the shape it was in! I wonder if that was a “handyman” fix on that machine...

WishbookWeb I LOVE that website! I’ve been personally visiting it for years, and have directed many folks to that site as well! Ultralux88, try this www.wishbookweb.com. Once there, click on “The Catalogs” link and you’ll be right where you need to be!

I think it’s what you’ve been used to.... Like many others of you have already stated, I collect both upright and canister/cylinder vacuums......HOWEVER when I’m reaching for one, 8 times out of 10, I’m reaching for a canister vacuum. As I said in my subject line, it’s all about personal...

Looking for a decent deal on an Electrolux Silverado? Here's one that seems alright for $5! I really need to get off Craigslist.....too much temptation out there today! http://https//lubbock.craigslist.org/app/d/final-reduced-price-older/6399490935.html

First of all, this is NOT my listing.....If I weren't broke from Christmas, I would be all over this! Anyway, I thought I'd share this in case someone else would like to give these cleaners a good home! http://https//pittsburgh.craigslist.org/clt/d/electrolux-canister-vacuums/6409011519.html

Tom All I can say is.....WOW! That's the first time I've seen that one! There's no hiding that vacuum, that's for sure!

Best looking upright..... In my opinion, is the Kirby Avalir (well, really any of the G series). Perhaps I'm old school and like a heavy-duty well built vacuum that can pull itself along. To me, the Kirby is a perfect blend of function and fashion. It's a beautiful machine (especially all...

Wow! What a collection! I’m having to wipe the drool off my phone! I’d LOVE to run across a nice collection like that! If Kentucky was closer to Oregon, I’d come over and clear you out of anything you’d want to get rid of! I hope you can find a good home for this! Steve

Dolly Sparkle I’m not too familiar with the 240 volt European vacuum cleaners, but from the looks of it, my best guess would be that it’s a vintage Goblin cylinder vacuum. In the attached image, it’s the vacuum in the upper right-hand corner I believe. Some of our overseas friends please feel...

C Bag Adapter Todd, Congrats on getting an XXX! They are wonderful machines, and if you take care of it, will last you for a long time! I too use one in my office, and I get tickled at all of the stares and comments I get on it! It's actually proudly displayed when not in use, and it has...

Silverado Keith, They truly are amazing machines! I have several, and my most recent one was a Goodwill find. For $35, I got the vacuum, original hose, floor attachment, power nozzle, dusting brush, crevice tool, bags, etc. The only thing that didn't come with it was a mini nozzle...

OMG!! That is absolutely ADORABLE!!! I’ve never seen anything like that!

Wheels Jason, You will probably have to paint these to color match the vacuum, but I believe you stated in your post above that you were going to paint the machine anyway. See if this would be something you could use: http://https//evacuumstore.com/p-7420-electrolux-vacuum-model-g-wheel.aspx

Well, lately I have slowed down dramatically on the number of vacuum cleaners I am purchasing. For one thing, eBay and the like have driven the prices of these older cleaners through the roof, but also because I would like to focus more on models I don't already own......this however was an...

Pete Thank you for adding those photos of your machine! When I purchased mine, it was just the body only, didn't have any attachments/hose/etc. with it. At least now I know sort of what I'm looking for if I ever get the attachments or hose for it.....but I have a pretty good feeling that...

Decided to dig an oldie out tonight! I remember the motor running when I first tried it out, but I couldn't really remember how well......turned it on again tonight and wow! It really surprised me at how well it ran! Once I get it cleaned up I'll post better photos and a video of it running!
