I found info on Wikipedia, have a look.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAN KANN. While this cake is a bit old now, its fitting for today. It was created for the first gathering of the V.C.C.C. the weekend of May 4, 5, 6, 1985. And we, John Lucia and I, as founders, knew Stan well. He was the one who is really responsible for the club. By the way...

I correct myself, this was the meeting in 1994, the hotel room was in Canton, Ohio.

If you recall two maids gave the club those Hoovers.

Thank you John. Happy memories. That photo was taken at the 10th meeting of the V.C.C.C. in Allentown, Pa. May of 1995.

A Companion mounted on a model XXX.

The reason for the chain is to hang it on a doorknob if the user prefers not to mount it on the cleaner.

This is called a Companion, and it is part of the post-war Electrolux model XXX. It rests on top of the cleaner and serves as a holder for the rug tool, floor brush, dusting brush, and upholstery tool.

Have you tried pet shops? I'm thinking fish tanks, as they have all sorts of rubber gaskets. Worth checking into.

What I was talking about earlier.. Paul, the model B2 was the one that went with the mode 5 (V). Thanks for posting.

Update. Belden wire started in 1905, and is still going strong.

The Cord winder was made for Electrolux by the Vacuum Cleaner Corporation of Philidelphia, Pennsylvania from the mid 1940's to the 70's starting with the post war model XXX. As the Electrolux factory was in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, it was in a residental area and could not make rubber parts...

The cords for Electrolux vacuum cleaners were made by the Belden cord and wire company in Chicago and then Geneva, Illinois in the 1930's-the 80's. I have no info on the present date. I don't think there is a spacific name for the pig-tail, I think that IS the name. Maybe others can help on that...

Early Electrolux data. Hi Paul: I have access to my paperwork again, but its in several boxes. Yes I have my patent books at hand but am unable to scan right now. I promise to upload things again when I get a working scanner. Not easy when working with a laptop.

Electrolux floor polisher. Paul, there was a three brush polisher with the model 5 (V) in 1924, I think it was B-1. Can't say for sure if it had attachments to wash carpets. I'll check my Electrolux paperwork.

Model LX. I thought that was the problem. Do you have another front cover mechenism? If not check eBay, or Craigs list.

Charles. Go to Lux 30-XXX tools, reply 86 and 87 to see what I'm talking about. Gasket 5705-4 and the smaller one with plunger assembly. As you and I both know these machines like the back of our hands, should be easy to figure out. Good Luck Alex.

Info on thread. Location, Archives, Vintage, year, 2013, thread title 'model XXX-30 tools,' the start of the thread. Reply 86-87 was by Dave from Canada. By the way is he still alive and kicking?

Electrolux model LX whistle. Hi Charles: Look at reply 86 and 87 of this thread, especially part 5705-4. This gasket might have minor cracks. Both you and I know these machines like the back of our hands, for you this should be easy. Good Luck. Alex.

How loud is this whistle? Is it heard over the sound of the motor? As I recall, when the wrapper (bag) was almost full it would whistle indicating it was ready to eject. Maybe you should check all rubber parts. As I say, this machine would be 72 years old.
