xxx 1952 I researched on this forum and it looks like it's a 1952 XXX. The leatherette looks grey instead of blue when I cleaned a spot. It's all factory - no repainted areas. Are the attachments and hose hard to come by? Please let me know if there's any other info I might be interested in!

oops oops ... accidentally posted my stuff in this thread.... my apologies!

I found this old electrolux in the same old house attic I found my 454 Constellation. No attachments or hose :-(((( We even searched in between all the attic floor joists to see if any attachments had fallen down there lol. Anyway, it's filthy, but I wanted to share. Any knowledge about it would...

no, it was the newer tool from the 60's but thanx for replying, rugsucker. I'll call you asap!

I've been searching for what seems like hours, and I can't find the pic of the constellation floor tool somebody bought on ebay and cleaned up. Can someone re-post that one?

tools hi Rugsucker! I sent you an email, but it may be floating in cyberspace. I'm in Raleigh, but have family in Boone and Nashville so I occasionally go in your direction. Do you have a store or a collection? (or both :-)

ps: ps, I already have the piece which couples the hose to the cleaner, although I don't think mine is a vintage coupler.

Hi! I'm still looking for all the pieces to go with my vintage constellation body, but I'm wondering if there are other hoovers which used the exact same pieces. For example the portapowers - and if so, which models of those? Or any other hoovers? Thanks! Lynn

porta power I can see some portapowers way down on the lowest shelf. I have one with the bright orangy-red trapdoor, and orangy-red and blue stripes along one side. It was my granddads, and it still kicks butt! When my windtunnel was down and out, i used that portapower all over the place.

hose colors wow! I love them!!!! Is that a pale pink hose on that pale pink one?

constellation coupling piece Regarding the piece that attaches the hose to the cleaner, a lady at a vac repair shop sold it to me, but she didn't think it was very old. Did anything change with that particular part over the constellation years including the new ones? I also have read about...

Went thrifting today with no luck, but it's really fun to look. Probably will have better luck in some of the smaller towns around. I have a lot of type j bags from a thrift store though. My hubby was making fun of me with the vacs, then I reminded him that it was the same as his interest in...

by the way theres an 86 on ebay now I would try to bid on that one, but then I would still end up short one set of parts!

I tried to get those parts :( I bid on those, and was bidding at the very last second of the auction but got outbid in the last second. I need to understand more about ebay bidding, because the final bid was almost $10 more than the last bid before mine. Maybe several people bid at the last...

Hi all! I'm new and have some questions about constellations. I have a 454 I found in an old house attic. It works great, but came with nothing else besides just the main unit and the stuff inside the main unit. So it does have the filter, filter ring, and bags. I rigged up a temporary hose so I...
