    Electrolux E-2000 'Protection' light on, but vacuum still works?

    Acquired two Electrolux ZB55's, unsure if worth restoring

    Hi everyone. This is my first post, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to be here. I recently acquired two Electrolux ZB55's, which are a late 40s/early 50s Canada-only model, about equivalent to the Model XXX sold in the USA as far as I can tell. I bought them cheap, and they are in very...
