David Based on just a quick search, it appears that the 86 may have been produced around 1958 or 1959? Check out the link below: http://www.automatice.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?showdoc~381~Hoover~

He contacted me too.... Same story, $1000 (or a reasonable offer), and shipping on top of it. I don’t have one, and would love to add one to my collection, but there’s no way I can (or will) ante up that kind of money for one, especially a 220V model that I couldn’t even use without some kind...

Oh wow! Now THATS a cake! I can’t imagine how many hours would be involved in making something like that! It almost looks too good to eat! Hope that little guy had a happy birthday and enjoyed his cake!!

Crinkle Finish That crinkle finish was used entirely on another variation of the model 1521 Ultralux..... I personally like the look, although it’s purely aesthetics! Here’s a couple of mine with the crinkle finish and full chrome body.

Charles Something smells fishy with this.......just a few machines below it (if you search eBay for “vintage Electrolux”) is the EXACT SAME machine at a different price point......does that strike anyone else as odd...

Penncrest Frank, I had forgotten about you posting this here, and as it turns out, I ended up being the one to purchase the vacuum! I haven't tried it out yet, as I just unboxed it, but it appears to be in great shape, AND the hose is still rather flexible! I have some spare bags at home...

I’m confused Markhenry, according to your profile, you’re in the US.......where does the money conversion and transportation costs come into play? The $889 is in USD, and Sirena ships them for free if ordered from them......

Markhenry While I don’t own a Sirena, I wouldn’t mind having one. Once upon a time, I even considered being a dealer for them. As I’m sure you’ve figured out based on the comments from others here, they are NOT associated with Rexair (the company that makes Rainbow). My big question is who...

Try this.... Even without the working link, bidding seems to have gone wild already!! http://https//m.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Super-Rare-Electrolux-Model-G-Hospital-Vacuum/152868905394?hash=item2397b261b2:g:TeIAAOSwnlFaXloy

For a New Product...... It’s not as outrageously priced as I expected! It can be purchased from Walmart for around $169.

U4127 Nate, You are indeed correct on your information. This model is the firs plastic base model to be introduced in the late 70’s. I’m not sure the official color names, but it’s a white base and white bag with a grass green hood, trim, and handle grip. It’s a non-headlight model. It’s...

Marryann That's a VERY nice looking GE vac. Like Edgar stated, I know absolutely NOTHING about GE vacs, but considering the shape it's in, and the fact it runs, for what you paid for it, I don't see how you could go wrong. I have paid a LOT more for vacs in a LOT worse condition than yours...

Phillip It’s a rather fascinating story about how the Defender came to be. I’ve spent some time going down this rabbit hole! It’s not a real long article, check it out! http://https//www.farmshow.com/a_article.php?aid=14291

As an owner of a Perfect I can attest to how amazingly powerful this machine is! It will just about suck the paint off the walls. NOW, with that said, there are some things I want to point out to you, especially coming from an Electrolux 1205. As I said, this thing is stupidly powerful, BUT...

Mike From what I can gather in my research, Mark O’Brien that owned North Country Vac and Sew in St. Johnsbury VT (creator of the Defender F-16 Vacuum) has retired and closed his business. BUT, thanks to the internet, I may have tracked him down to his new home in Danville VT! Here’s the...

Perusing eBay tonight, I ran across a Model 30 (XXX) Electrolux that I believe is an early model. It seems to have the correct items I can recall that would put it late 30’s possibly. Flat runners, different style bag door handle, and the one piece exhaust port instead of the swinging saloon...

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...
