Nice find Bob! It looks in great condition, and plus you have all the tools too. I want to find a machine like this. Do you usually look in the paper or on Kijiji? I peruse on Kijiji every day and there is very slim pickings here in Nova Scotia. You Newfies sure love your Electrolux's, and...

Excellent finds! I really like the Super J 50th, I found one on eBay, and I let it go. It was up for a good price too. Someday I will find another one. That hose looks in great condition!

That Westinghouse vacuum looks beautiful! What a world of difference, excellent job on restoring. I love seeing before and after shots!

What a steal is right! I really love the Epic series, there is something about it. And jeeze what a price on the Lux! Plus the Price on the Panasonic is also insane! That's cheap! Great find, thanks for posting.

I saw that exact video on YouTube when you posted it and all I could think of was "What a UNIQUE ans SWEET LOOKING MACHINE!" This is such a unusually neat design, you don't see much like it now. Sweet machine! Congratulations on a great (possibly really rare) find!

I'm definitely a huge fan of that clock. Nice collection! The only small thing I have is a AP200 coin bank.

Superb looking machine for a superb price! I need to find a 1205 someday, when I move onto collecting the US machines. PS, I thank Electrolux engineers every time for the bag door switch! "It doesn't work, so I'll sell it for cheap" etc... heh heh heh.

For my AP, SAP, and Eureka 1740 I just coil it in a circle and use a velcro cable tie. Works great, I usually attach the tie to the handle or something so its not flowing everywhere. I don't like to leave the cord wrapped around anything with sharp-ish corners/abrupt turns for too long, I don't...

I always liked seeing the differences between the BOL and TOL machines. This body on this machine looks way different than the body on the top of the line Olympia. Did they make two different bodys for them? Sweet vac by the way Bob, I have that same hose but with an AP fitting at the end of...

Thanks Dave for all the info, and the link to make my own. And then thanks to David/twocvbloke for the link to eBay. I hope I can find one off eBay similar to Daves for a decent price.

Yes! I remember these. My grandmother used to have one in the kitchen. And I used to use it to suck up crums and dirt. I have been looking for one similar to it, the only one I have came close to finding is this on eBay. However, I think $100 + shipping is steep...

What are some devices one could use to measure the suction and power of a vacuum? I know aeoliandave has a fancy device called 'Vac-U-Tronic tester', where would you find one or something similar to this? I do have a Kill-A-Watt device, but I don't think that's a good way to measure suction...

Eurekas are my second favorite brand. Electrolux being first, of course. I don't know what it is about Eureka, but I do like their canisters, and that PN, love it. I think it's one of the best personally. I want to get another Eureka Power Team canister, but I can't find any on eBay or in thrift...

It's a matter of preference really. I have both genuine and non-genuine hoses for both stypes of hoses (American and Canadian style ends). I much prefer the genuine version. eBay sometimes has good deals on for genuine Lux hoses that are non-woven. That's where I got mine, it was on sale for a...

Sweet collection, I wanna get a Eureka upright sometime especially with a VGII brush roll. Even though I am not an upright fan, there are a few I want to get.

Around here its anything Kenmore basically. Thats all you really see, mostly that and Electrolux, and cheap Eurekas lol.

Awesome job! How long does it take to do one model? You could also make practically any Electrolux LOL they are all mostly somewhat square tubes. Could you make an AP 280 lol?

Nice machines! Especially the Connie, I need to find one for my collection too. Where did you find yours?

Holy! That's my childhood vacuum! We used to have one like this, but with no Sidekick. This is exactly like the one I used to have! I must find one like this. Excellent find! PS I do like newer Luxes just as much as I like the old ones.

I would love to find an Electrolux Epic 6500 or 9000. Or Guardian at a great price! That's the next machine to find.
