    1st Lux Upright

    @vacuumdevil Yes indeed, that is indeed a Nilfisk backpack vacuum, still works, it was going to be thrown out but I grabbed it. It has a whole box full of filters but no bags, I also have a hip style vac of another brand, it too was going to be thrown out but I grabbed it as well

    1st Lux Upright

    I know these old uprights well, I have close to a half dozen of them, 2 or 3 brown ones and 2 or 3 grey ones. They still work, though right now they don't see much use as my house doesn't have carpet! I think they really have quite good suction power. Here's a picture of one of mine that's...

    Is this normal for a Model G

    It's possible that your model G has larger brushes than a model XXX, some model G have 1205 style brushes, and if you put model XXX brushes, they will arc more, because your brushes will wobble in the housings. If the vacuum motor does indeed have the larger 1205 style brushes, you'll have...

    Another Great Trip to Tennessee

    Tennessee is beautiful country! I drove to Chattanooga in July of this year, and while I didn't get as far as Elizabethton, Chattanooga is beautiful! I drove to see the Tennessee Valley railroad museum and rode on the old steam train. Chattanooga is famous for the Chattanooga Choo Choo!

    Getting the new office set up!

    Nice! Nice! I think I recognize that old Lux, as I think that was one of mine I used to have. Those old 30's are great machines. They are still what I consider one of the "jewels"in my collection.

    My Electrolux 1205 Golden Jubilee

    It's not really a circuit board That really isn't a circuit board, all the 1205s had a connector block. Those were notorious for causing connection problems so Electrolux eliminated that problem with the production of the Super J and newer machines. Instead of the connector box they replaced it...

    Vacuums at my Goodwill

Awhile back I bought a Lux 9000 canister for $10.00! It needed the hose straightened out as near the handle it was crushed. A few taps...

    A Model L Kick!

    Power nozzle and tools Hi Bill, yes that model of Lux had a power nozzle, usually a blue PN-1 although I've seen a few that had a chrome PN-2. The tools are typically aqua/blue which includes the rug/floor tool, crevice tool and dusting brush/upholstery tool. Great machines! Nice and quiet but...

    Solution for upright handle locking position The best solution I have found that works for me when I have run into this problem on an Electrolux upright is apply a little of the vaseline clear petroleum jelly onto the little rear clips at the rear of the powerhead part of the machine.
