trouble turning on my Electrolux 1521 Try wearing some sexy clothes...... Sorry, couldn't pass up a straight line like that. It sounds to me like the switch inside the front cover is either sticking, or the contacts have become misaligned or burned. This is the switch that contacts the bag...

With just a touch of chrome......

Thanks Charles for filling in the spaces. I too have always loved your website. I've got my fingers crossed for you Neil. One thing I've always thought unique about the "S" was the fact that the "belt line" stamping work does not continue through to the rear motor housing as it does on...

Not only that Kevin - there are a lot of models not shown on that chart at all! (sitting here waiting for others to chime in at this point - tapping my foot uncontrollably.....arms folded in front of me...disturbed* look on my face) *but not too disturbed so as to help prevent premature...

Now you're getting into areas that I'm no real expert on. I'm sure others will be able to fill in the blanks better than I, but for most of it's history I think that Electrolux more often than not had a "lesser" equipped machine to offer if the more deluxe models just couldn't be sold. Just for...

aawww, Neil - Thanks. Good Luck! Rick

Way different! The model "T" was an automobile made by Ford from 1908 through 1927. It didn't look anything like the Electrolux model "S". And yes - I'm being a smart - <s>ass</s> Alec. The lux "T" which was earlier than the "S" chronologically, but later alphabetically (who knows why) is a...

Rear view - not a cord winding feature in sight!

I did find some tools and restored them too!

Even though I restored the unit itself, the original cord and plug were in great shape.

Neil! O M G ! You should like SO go for that "S"! They are like the coolest 'lil vacs ever! Here's mine.

If it still works, here is an old link to a Bronze "G" that was on EBay - scroll down to it. above that are the same replacement wheels I bought to use on the "G" and the "R" in the link. Anyway, while hard to tell in the photo of the bronze "G" - it looks to me as if it has the same...

Rear wheel. I also had to cut slots to accept the hubcap.

Front wheel.

OK, perhaps it's vinyl or polyhrocholorydebenzine dioxydol plastic and NOT rubber- never the less...it's a tire. Notice the difference in the size of the profile between the rear wheels and the front. Particularly the space between the hubcap and the turquoise material. When I restored this...

BTW the wheels on the "G" are the same all on all four corners. The rear wheels have rubber tires.

maybe this will help http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?7101

Morgan, I had no idea you collected vacuum cleaners. What a strange hobby. That Kirby is sure a beaut! You'll need to put it through it's paces. Congratulations, Rick

Great machine, and you did an excellent job on it! However, "if it had YOUR name all over it" - then it would be a reginafan 1000 now wouldn't it? tehehehehe..... Again, great job Corey and your home looks wonderful! Rick

I know I'm a little late in the game here but... Charlie! Those machines are terrific! I often think about the "AirWay show" at the convention. I learned so much, and your presentation was fantastic. You have a great collection - one of these days I am going to get there and see them in...
