I am fairly proficient diagnosing & repairing vac cleaners, but are not familiar with central vacs. I want to test a never installed CentraLux E130G that has no power switch. Short of opening the top & directly connecting the motor to power, If I short the two terminals below the reset button...

Small project bringing a plastic canister Electrolux back to life. It must have been dropped since the back cover was loose and some tabs broken on the cover. The cord winder was missing some of the tabs and needed some repair. A few small zip ties are keeping it together. . Someone put the...

All three run. These are sold as is. 1205 motor, 2100 motor, and Discovery II upright motor. 2100 motor does not come with mounting ring, or plastic guard. Just what you see in the pic. These were pulled from the machines and not taken apart. They will be need to be serviced for ideal use...

Well you know the Super J had the longer shell, and larger motor than the 1205. The Silverado canister carried on the tradition, but had something better ... Electrolux made the hole in the canister where the motor goes - larger to accomodate a 5.7" motor, they also made the hole circular. This...

I converted an Electrolux PN to use with the old metal canisters a while back. I went with black for the elbow. I also had a very ugly plastic sheath that had discolored. I rejuvenated both with a pewter gray Krylon Fusion finish, which came out as a light gray. (It does not show correctly in...

These were used on Electrolux metal canisters from 1205 to Super J canisters. The axle diameter is 1/4" as opposed to the Olympia One & later which is 5/16". markings on them are 5135-27. These are for the skinnier wheels. Pleae make an offer. They are original Electrolux that I painted black...

These need to go. I have one of each. Any questions, please ask. These are all used genuine Electrolux parts. There also is a lower body shell with wheels available as well.

I have two attachments I have no use for. They are in great shape with no cracks. Please make me an offer. Weight is 1/2 oz. ,shipping is from CT.

Here are two I have pics of. Both of these motors were working. One, a nut wedged inside a Diamond Jubilee motor. Two, a nail sticking out of the plastic motor guard on a Silverado. These are what I discovered when I opened up the vacuums. These were from complete running vacuums. Makes you...

Some pics of the weight difference between an Olympia One motor (similar to Super J) & a later Diamond Jubilee motor. 3rd pic shows them with a plastic body motor. As you can see, the bag housing has an extension on it, due to the DJ motor being shorter. This actually makes it easier to...

We've seen them, it sucks, it happens. Poor storage is the leading cause, flood damage is another. These two I recently acquired are rusty, but are salvageable. I believe these were stored in a barn. Sometimes the rust is so bad the steel has holes in it. With these, they both run, but...

They remind me of the motorcycle helmets from the 70's. Fits right in with the gold Super J. and shag carpeting. :) Don't come across these that often.

I was cleaning my Shark Vac with my Electrolux, ironic. Long story, it was given to my family a few years back. The vac had never been cleaned before and was full of stuff. It was used by wife until she passed. I placed it in a closet until I recently uncovered it. It was pretty dirty and I used...

I was going to use this for parts, but it looks too nice. I love the hammertone finish. You can see the original gold paint in certain areas. Check out the Silverado style handle. The wheels look similar to the refurbished 1205 on the Electrolux poster. (no metal hubcaps) I assume the paint is...

Are there any decent generic combination brushes that are close to the original Electrolux. I have noticed .. aftermarket bristles are not as robust Inside piece is not soft rounded, they usually are hard and have a sharp edge to them. Very disappointed with what is available. Both the brush...

I had these two swivel connectors, one was the older style with a friction fit for the wand. The other was broken. (no idea how, that is how I found it) You know the story, they get loose over time. Both of these had seen better days. I made one out of two, and greased & tightened the...

I had an old Sears central vac hose in great shape, and many Kenmore canisters with bad hoses. So, I came up with this .. It works well on the stairs. I could easily add a central vac power nozzle, but this is fine for its needs. :) Adding a power switch would be easy. Have done the...

put this in its own thread .. made by the American Vacuum cleaner company from NYC ad is from February 1909

came from a house cleaning company. Kenmore would be on the bottom of my list for that use. They just don't hold up well. this is only some of them.  wonder how much they spent before realizing this was  a poor choice. I think I can find that part for my Intuition (tossed my...
