Thanks Tom!
I thought those might have been from your collection but I wasn’t 100% sure! They are indeed beautiful machines! You ever decide to part with one, let me know! I’d be happy to give one a new home!!
Thanks Les!
Those look great, but they are Model L’s with an attached cordwinder. What I’m looking for is the much more rare white/cream colored Model G with either brown or tan trim. I believe it was called the Model GH if I’m not mistaken. It has a massive filter on the exhaust port that...
An Electrolux Hospital G vacuum cleaner. They used to pop up on eBay from time to time, but lately I haven’t had much luck finding one. If anyone has one they’d be willing to part with, hit me up, maybe we can work something out. Thanks! Pic is for reference only!
GORGEOUS machine!
Keith,
That's a gorgeous machine! I've always been partial to that color as well, and the fact it's complete and clean speaks volumes to what kind of life it's had! With all of the high-pitched screaming motors most vacs have today, there's something so relaxing about the...

The trio of vacs are all Electrolux Commemorative Editions. I’ve gathered them over the course of several years. My first one was a VIP CE that was presented to Gary Griffin, who at the time, was president of Electrolux. The second one is one of the un-awarded models that Tom Gasko...
Hoover 725
Hi there! I might be interested in that 725 if we can work something out with price and shipping. Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks!
Steve
Sorry, disregard that. I just emailed you!
Tom’s Electrolux
Is actually in my possession now, unless he’s acquired another one. I purchased his close to 5 or 6 years ago! Tom’s machine was unawarded and didn’t have the little plaque on it.
Hi Tom
I think those old central vacs are absolute works of art….not to mention as heavy as a tank! What part of West Virginia do you live in? My parents live on the KY/WV border (Louisa, KY / Fort Gay, WV). If it wasn’t way up in the hills of Beckley or Bluefield, I might be interested in it.
Electromatik, I completely agree with that. I grew up in an Electrolux household, and to this day still use and rely on their products for home cleaning. Now that Kirby has sold, who knows what will happen with them in the very near future. Last thing I want to see is the demise of Aerus...
Aerus Vacuums
It seems they’re still in the vacuum business, at least that’s what their website shows. Some time ago, they split the vacuum site from the main Aerus site, not really sure why but they did…

What an AWESOME documentary!
Tom, thanks for sharing this! I have no doubt Eric’s collection will continue to delight many visitors at the museum, along with all of the other vacs as well! I am really hoping that I can get back to Rolla soon and see the museum myself!
Eric, I wish you the...
So here's my question.....
Was that goofy looking power nozzle plug added by one of the Vac shops that have stuck their labels on it, or was it done during the Metropolitan refurbish? It's location seems to me like it was done by an amateur rather than a professional shop like Metro...maybe...
Little Giant
Blackheart, I remember using one of those like the one you showed. The teachers were getting their erasers cleaned for free, but we kids didn’t realize it, we were just happy to get out of class for a few minutes!!
Hoover 28 in KY
That’s a FANTASTIC find! You don’t hardly see the older vacs anymore in stores or flea markets, or even estate sales it seems! I’m in Central/Eastern KY (think Morehead/Mt. Sterling area), if you’re close to me and want it looked at! Just let me know! I think there’s an...
Hi Tom!
First off, welcome to the group! You'll find a WEALTH of knowledge among the members here. I see you have yourself a Super J to restore. Good choice! The first vacuum I would call "mine" was a Super J, so those are near and dear to me! I don't have any of the diagrams that you're...
Seller
Fan-of-fans, I am inclined to think the OP may be the seller of the Vac. They are located in Milford, OH from what their profile says, and the machine’s location was Milford......I may be wrong, but occasionally 2+2=4 LOL!!! 😄
