Inside the bag compartment with a nice fresh filter in place. New bag fitted with a new sponge in place.

After her nice polish and wax.

Unfortunately, the royal appointment has worn slightly. It says - "By appointment to her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the II, suppliers of suction cleaners and floor polishers, Electrolux Ltd, Luton Beds."

After ~ #1 ~ Basket full of freshly washed and dried parts. #2 ~ Freshly serviced motor. #3 ~ Motor places back into the chassis.

Some sun damage and a weird large patch of heavy scratches and dirt. Both had to be lightly sanded back and then covered with T-Cut scratch remover.

In her nice Cherry bath and the aftermath.

The Aftermath ~

Motor ~ Motor stripped as much as it possibly can. Unfortunately Electrolux crimps the fans together thus not being able to remove them. The carbon brushes have plenty of life left in them. Also, the bearings are a little dry.

Quite a few "built by.." stickers, always nice!

Sole plate removed. Surprisingly, the brush strips look new and the belt looks almost new and is genuine.

Pic #1 ~ Tool port cap is broken, but will be easily fixed. #2 ~ Some battle scars. #3 Wheel cap which was broken before or during transit. #4 ~ The fill tube is missing its little sponge "doughnut"

The screw for the filter was loose so might as well remove it now.

So, I picked up another bargain of a Lux from The Land of Ebay, for £3.40, almost complete with tool kit. The only thing missing from the tool kit was its extension wand. Only thing that was needed was new bearings for the brushroll and the usual ~ Strip, wash, clean and plenty of TLC...

Nice find. You did a good job 👍

And that's it! Will hopefully have an after video up soon.
