    Beautiful Electrolux G unit on eBay

    Attachments--As above some Ebay sellers separate these. With the Mo G hoses would wear(just as tires on a car,etc)and be replaced,the first crevice tool was a bit fragile and were often broken or lost,some use a dusting brush as a scrub brush instead of letting the suction do the work,floor...

    There were also banks for Rexair,Filter Queen & Kirby when a quarter was worth more and vac payments were less. Also the slot in the wider Kirby handle of about 1970 and beyond.

Not likely that this one was abused but if...
