    If you thought eBAY used to suck, just read this...

    I've been a member of eBay since 1998, with 100% perfect feedback. Previously, when a buyer made a purchase from an eBay seller, the funds would be immediately deposited in the seller's linked bank or credit account and, later, in seller's PayPal account. I hadn't sold anything on eBay for a...

    Unusual Electrolux Model V??

    The illustration above is incomplete. In addition to the models shown, there were also Models VI, VII, VIII, and IX -- sold in different parts of the world. I believe the Model VII was a German model.

    How to fix color on Electrolux XXX?

    Personally, if it was me I'd leave it as-is. I've found the hard way that trying to "improve" an old vacuum cleaner like this usually ends in sadness.

    Electrolux Model G original price?

    Here's a Model G receipt dated September 24, 1963. As Tom said, the cost of the cleaner was $149.75 and the power nozzle was $49.75. Note the serial number of the trade-in: T60728K. It's hard to pinpoint what model that was. Electrolux used that serial number format from the Model XXX at least...

    Kirby Dual Sanitronic Question…

    Because the motor will soon burn out. The higher speed is to give higher suction through the hose and wand but not meant to be used for long periods of time.

    Repair manual for Electrolux Model G?

    "By the way, the difference between a tank vacuum cleaner & a canister vacuum cleaner is the position of the motor. A tank's is mounted vertically and a canister's is horizontal." I did not know that. I always assumed that a canister vacuum cleaner is shaped like a canister and a tank vacuum...

    Sad News to Report

        Dave was a very nice person, kind and gracious. He had some beautiful old vacuum cleaners.   We visited him a few years ago in Palm Springs and went to his church with him.

    Another Interesting Electrolux

        About the hose -- the machine didn't come with any attachments. I thought since it seemed to be a late version of the E that a woven vinyl E-A hose would be appropriate.   About the varying color -- it's much less pronounced than it appears in the photos which for some reason...
