Cordwinder Very cool, Hans. Never seen that option, it must be rare. And the Kenmore plug cinches it!! AWESOME! Rick

Hey Fred.... Don't you have any nice machines??? (Ducks and runs. FAST! Rick

Lotsa pretty chrome!! But does it take a 'J' bag?? Rick

All your machines... ...are in really wonderful shape, Hans. Do I recognize a Lux cordwinder on the lower part of the cart?? If so, interesting idea for sure! Rick

Doug, if any one would know... It seems there MUST have been a (close) link beteen Vactric and Electrolux. That (gorgeous) machine pictured above SCREAMS "Model XII" with elements of the earlier model XI as well. CUTE little wheels, btw. The machine's, not yours. Rick :)

"Did the seller get paid?" Excellent question. As Doug pointed out, many of these astronomical bids (bidders) never follow through as was the case on a Hoover 27 I lost because of one of these clowns. Sadly, the seller and I were unable to strike a deal. John, yours defines the word 'MINT'...

All's well that ends well... Congratulations, Charlie. It looks as if this has been a blessing for you and Arlee; perhaps time for a clean break, as it were. All the best. Rick

Green Stamps!! Fred, what memories! I had that EXACT machine, metal hose and all, when I was.....much younger! I got it with accumulated Green Stamps that gave my tongue quite the work out, perhaps in preparation for later uses :) It was not the quietest machine (I had one foot in the...

Hi again, Stephen WOW, that ad is interesting as well. My understanding has been the same as Doug's that rebuilt machines were the only machines pumped out by factories otherwise changed over to war production. However, your thought that replacement parts must have been in huge demand to keep...

Man, this person is REALLY proud of this Manual!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/VTG-1960-ELECTROLUX-Vacuum-MODEL-G-Owners-Manual-BOOK_W0QQitemZ120470923474QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAntiquarian_Collectible?hash=item1c0ca068d2

XXX-Rated Modifications It is my observation that the after-market, clamped on wheels on an LX are fugly, can shift, and as Rex pointed out, are generally not 'up' to the job. The factory change in the LXI is better but again with little clearance, the purpose clearly being to 'assist' rather...

Someone should be shot! http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Electrolux-Vacuum-Cleaner-Model-30-xxx-Mint_W0QQitemZ110485803266QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Vacuum?hash=item19b9779102

Odd how you would be checking out big asses. RW, you might take note of WHICH ONE I referenced! RB

As long as we're completing the chart.... ...we should not forget the short-lived 'T', an earlier attempt at a 'no frills' cleaner. The 'T' is probably as bare-boned as you can get (talking cleaners now!) It did come with the same motor, hose, flip-floor and flip-dusting/upholstery tools as the...

any notation/engraving/etc. on the Hospital G to indicate The Big-Assed Filter was the give-a-way! Mine is the Ivory & Turquoise (early one.) Rick

portable generator Ahhhhhh, Got it! That explains it! An AE did not strike me as that illusive to identify!! lol Thanks, Bill Rick

Lux Automatic E Hmmmm. The vac from your link in front of that door is an automatic E. Not sure what the question is. The original cord, however, would have been a black Belden cord and plug. RB

Now we know that Universal was making vacuums decades before Rick, Rick, Rick! How do you figure 1919 predates 19-ought-8?? The other, less degreed Rick!

Crevice(de')tool; PHD, BA, MP3, BTU's, RPM's Why, Rick. You're being way too modest. You omitted 'BS' The less degreed Rick!

That is GORGEOUS and I am.... ....throughly jealous. You truly have an amazing machine and deserve major congratulations for it. And, if you need, I will send my postal address. What a great find, enjoy!! Rick
