Not to get off-topic here, but you gotta get one of these! A Lux model LX. This is a machine I restored. I polished the aluminium, but the side rails and the cordwinder were re-chromed at the bike shop.

OH oh, we have yet another one that has a thing for shiny metal. You may want to post pics of your motorcycles too! Nothin' better than getting blinded by the reflection of the sun by a Harley crossing your path. I take my vacuum parts to a motorcycle chrome/polishing shop when I'm restoring one...

Unless I missed it somewhere within the thread, hasn't Electrolux always made their own motors? I've got an Electrolux News magazine announcing the debut of the Super J (Sept. 1975) It goes to great lengths about how they had to re-tool all of production lines to accommodate the manufacture of...

Just beautiful!!! I don't see nothin' wrong with the bag either. What a contrast between the newly finished unit and the dual-sani. Great Job!

Who's been talkin'? I'll murderize 'em!

Great polishing jobs Neil. Your machines look wonderful!

I usually take mine into the sauna or steam room with me. It sort of detoxifies the internal parts....... Oh! LOL! After all these years, I STILL kill me! Seriously Brad, I find the only way to completely de-stink a vintage machine is to completely disassemble it and wash the heck out...

Let's try to keep in mind - this is a brand new forum user and is perhaps trying to share his enthusiasm for Kirbys. I wonder how I would feel if this were my first post, and I read what followed my message. Dwayne, I must say though - the use of capital letters makes it look as if you are...

Yes, Many of us feel a very close attachment to our vintage vacuum cleaners.

Rob, Thanks so much for introducing the new Rainbow to us. This has been a most interesting thread for sure. You have done a wonderful job showing to us. Congratulations on the machine. It's just great! Rick

Nevermind. Thanks for the link! Rick

There you are! I've been looking for you in the member's profile. Next time you log on - the forum will be different looking for you! Glad you are here, Robert. PS: You can ignore the "shoot me an E-mail thingy" in your welcome thread... PSS: I mean you can if you want but you don't have to...

Welcome to the forum James. You guys spell toools funny over there. Just like colour, honour, centre..... tehehehe

oh...

Paris Tennessee is not all that far from me! I should go get this! LUV the orange color! Rick

Great machine Terry! It makes such a nice pattern on the carpet. I DO hope you did like I taught you, and backed out of the room so there are no feet prints in the just vacuumed rugs. You can never go into that room again unless of course you have a vacuum with you! Pretty unit! Rick

Back side.....now I'll know how to put the belt on.

I got this from that seller, ....and could not be more pleased. They are brand new - just like he says, and it arrived heavily padded in styro-sheets. I will be using it on my model 58 when I do the restore on it. The flaw around the rivet (which shows up more in this photo than it seems in...

Every one's right Hans! Great looking machine. Thanks for sharing! Rick
