    Joe Urso article DALLAS MORNING NEWS 1.09.2000

    I thought this 1.09.2000 article from DALLAS MORNING NEWS was enlightening; maybe you will, too. One thing I didn't realize is that the leveraged buy-out of 1987 did not turn out well, and Sara Lee reacquired Electrolux Corporation in 1989. http://www.eufcc.com/docs/press/electro_1.htm...

    Electrolux Corp./Consolidated Foods Management

    It's interesting that at least two Electrolux Corp. executives also held top positions in Consolidated Foods, Inc. That's likely why EC maintained its strong identity in the market and produced some of its best cleaners after being acquired by CF. The new parent company may otherwise have taken...

    Electrolux Canada Canister Attachments?

    Are these attachments, from an eBay listing, genuine Electrolux ones? If so, were they made for the Canadian market? The kit # is identified as either 43592 or 43618 if that helps (it doesn't include literature or a box to indicate which one).

    Electrolux Corporation Catalog of Copyrights

    I happened to stumble upon the online Catalog of Copyright Entries and located quite a few entries from 1949 to 1983 of Electrolux Corporation's products & labels. For some reason, I was unable to locate some manuals such as the Olympia One's or Silverado's. It could be that they just weren't...

    Electrolux Corporation Trademarks

    So I found a list of 61 trademarks owned by Electrolux Corporation since 1924 @ https://inventively.com/search/trademarks/owner/ELECTROLUX%20CORPORATION. I was confused that some such as "Beautifier" were listed later on than their first usage, but that likely means that they hadn't been...

    Unique Electrolux Model E Hose ... '54 iteration?

    I noticed this on eBay and wondered--since it resembled the Model XXX hose with the repeated XXX pattern--if it was an early Model E hose. I've never seen another like it, so I doubt that it would be an aftermarket version as those would be seen more frequently along with others. What do you...

    Let me know how you maintain the motor of your Model B-8--what kind of grease you use on the gear and bearings. I'm also wondering how to remove the two front spindles and how to remove the bearing caps (see photo below).
