Here's a copy of the 200-series upright manual cover with the "flying E" logo. It's either from the late '50s or early '60s.

Harrison, Here’s a list I obtained from the Hesco Inc. website http://www.hescoinc.com/schematics_eureka and some others I added. I have no idea how complete it is for the 1950s-1990s range (I didn't copy everything), but at least you can use it as a guide to help you find models you’d like to...

Jimmy, I read that the earlier iteration of the Model C.A. had a 700-watt motor, so that would have been another update in the revised manual. If you can, please post your manual copy. I've never seen one.

Welcome to Vacuumland! I used the search bar for the forum archives to find another thread that will be somewhat helpful to you, because it includes a chart of bag types and a corresponding list. There are many Eureka threads--some including photos and scans of ads, so you'll want to perform...

"'Electrolux triple brush floor polisher and scrubber'. 19Dec57 & 'Electrolux triple brush floor polisher and scrubber'. 2May58" It appears that the first version of the Model B-7 only had one speed. Why else would the later manuals have specified "two-speed"? Also, I wonder if the entry...

Entry Corrections, et cetera In copying the information, I mixed up the copyright dates of the models R & G (which were listed next to each other but had separate entries). The Model R's manual was copyrighted 19Nov60, and the Model G's manual's was 13Jan61. Also, the 6Aug63 entry's title...

Thanks for the link to the patent information, Charles.

Alex, I just emailed you. In case you didn't read my latest post on the WMWC thread I also found this information: "Electrolux heavy duty cleaner" manual and "Electrolux heavy duty cleaner salesmen's guide for operating model C-A." 17Jul61 Regarding the Model LX manual, the entry of August...

Cool, Jimmy!

I happened to stumble upon the online Catalog of Copyright Entries and located quite a few entries from 1949 to 1983 of Electrolux Corporation's products & labels. For some reason, I was unable to locate some manuals such as the Olympia One's or Silverado's. It could be that they just weren't...

Thanks for the replies. I apologize, Jimmy, for missing yours last evening. Good information and much appreciated. I'm glad you asked so many questions during your Electrolux tour, Tom. Your information helped put the puzzle pieces together! Alex, I appreciate the details of your 1961...

Thanks for your reply, Alex. I didn't know about the rubber restriction for factories near residential areas--interesting. Vis-à-vis the Model C.A., I wonder if the one you saw in 1961 was a prototype as I wouldn't expect that mass production would occur much before the patents were approved...

6-63 Sales Slip This eBay listing photo of a sales slip, print dated 6-63 and used for an April 23, 1964 sale, does not list filters or the special attachments made for the Model C.A. I've also seen a 1963 or 1964 "Complete Home Maintenance Service" flyer including the Model B-8 (without the...

You're welcome.

"Hence the reason that Electrolux told us (in the model G's owners book) to change the bag before EACH USE." Just to clarify, Electrolux Corporation didn't recommend changing the filter bag before each use. They simply stated it as an option. I own several editions of the aqua Model G owner's...

Better late than never! Here's a link that explains the science behind vacuum cleaner suction and airflow in an understandable way: http://canavac.com/suction-and-airflow/ Company Info.: Cana-Vac Systems Inc. was founded by Leonard Budd in 1970. It is Canada's largest central vacuum...

As far as I know, these companies also manufacture their vacuum cleaners in the US: InterVac Design Corp, Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner, Rexair, and Shop-Vac. These days, one needs to research to be sure. Gone is the era when most US companies made their manufacturing locations known to the...

Here is a news article that states that the Aerus plant in Bristol, VA closed in May 2016: Vacuum Cleaner Plant Closing, 250 Layoffs Published 4:48 am, Tuesday, April 26, 2016 The Aerus Electrolux vacuum cleaner plant will shut down by the end of May, leaving 250 people out of work, the...

Keep in mind that it's possible that Aerus products are made in Mexico. Aerus transferred much of its production to Eureka in 2003 to its El Paso factory. Then, at some point Eureka moved its operations to Mexico which likely included Aerus products. In addition, Aerus closed its Bristol...

This would've given many a friendly Electrolux Man a song in his heart and a skip in his step! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Private-Press-Electrolux-Corporation-Songs-Of-Success-lp-NOT-FOR-SALE-SO-RARE-/192079133122?hash=item2cb8cef9c2:g:KCcAAOSw2xRYe6el
