      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">The Model R really is a cool and lovely machine. Granted, I have a soft spot for all the economy models because so many people had them.</span>

ELECTROLUX Economy Models         <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: medium;">The first two Electrolux economy models were simply older models "rolled over" into newer models.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size...

      <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: medium;">Well, "you learn something new every day." I had always assumed that all four of the G wheels were the same exact wheels as used for the E-A, F, R and L but with the pretty chrome hubcaps added. "Who Knew" the rear...

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: xx-large; color: #ff00ff;">W O W ! ! ! ! !</span> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220805403124

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">This is not in the greatest condition, but it's one of the scarcer Electroluxes. It's a very darling and dainty little machine. Someone should snap it up and give it a spa treatment!</span>  ...

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Rubber tires on the Model G ???</span>  

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">The Hospital G went for something like $550, maybe even $595. Kinda shocking given its imperfect condition, replacement hose, etc. But that's what happens when a few people get into a bidding war. But I would never...

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">As someone else said [too lazy to scroll back up and see who it was hahaha], the front and rear aluminum covers will polish up very nicely and the machine will look even more fabulous! When the Model Gs were new, they...

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">All you should need is a couple of drops. Inside each oil port there's a small cotton wick that will soak up the oil and dispense it slowly. But you don't want to over-saturate the wicks or there'll be a big mess...

      WHO ever said that it was always women that did the cleaning? Ahh, well...that was the mentality in 1964. :-P <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">And, alas, still prevails today in some quarters. There are plenty of men who assert that "a woman's...

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">My friend the retired Electrolux regional manager has told me many times that he feels the G was the best machine, on many counts, that Electrolux ever made. I talked to him today and asked him about Hospital Gs. He...

      The Model G is just too lovely for words, isn't it. I found a coiled vinyl hose in that same muted color that matches the machine perfectly. Not as lovely as the original woven hose, but it looks good and performs great!   ~~~Congratulations~~~    

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">"Well alrightey then." I didn't remember these machines needing oil.</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">You can get 3-in-1 Electric Motor oil at most hardware stores...

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">You think this guy is a bit over-optimistic about the value of his Hoover?!</span>   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320718436550

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Are you sure this hand-vac needs oil? Is there an oil port on top of the motor? I've had a couple of these come and go over the years and don't recall them needing oil. If it sounds like the motor is running dry, it...

      <span style="font-size: medium; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I have listed one of my two Model F ashtrays on eBay. Don't see any reason for keeping both of them. These are pretty rare. Electrolux made far fewer of them than either the XXX or G ashtrays since the F was made for...

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">That is quite lovely. There are a dozen or so of them on eBay now, ranging from $59.99 to a NIB set for $525.00. So I'd say this set could be valued somewhere between those extremes. But again, it's impossible to...

       

         

      <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Okay, as promised, here are some photos. I'll take more of them after I get it all cleaned up and purty.</span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">The first photo shows the machine...
