100 Electrolux vintage

[headhare66]

I have what is described by an Electrolux enthusiast as a Barn Find. I cleaned out a hoarders garage for a friend. The hoarder was an Electrolux salesman from the 50's. I have over 100 vacuums including a few made in 1930's. Single arm buffers. Display kits. And tons of parts.

I don't know what to do with it. Any help you can point me to would be appreciated.

Electrolux horde

Oh wow! It certainly sounds like you've hit the Electrolux jackpot! Do you have any photos of this massive collection of machines you would care to share with us? There are a great number of us that appreciate the older Electrolux vacuums and if you're looking to get rid of some or all of them, we might be able to help you in that department as well!

 

[headhare66]

I could only post 20 photos, but rest assured that we have a 16 foot trailer full of everything Electrolux. If you are looking for something in particular ask and I'll go search for it.

I sent you an email

 

[headhare66]

I sent you an email back

 

[headhare66]

Wow. So many of you have been so helpful . For instance I didn't know what a Sued J in the original box meant. I didn't know that all my hoses were PN-1's. I think you all will help me get this hoard sold , yippeeeee!!

Hello, in picture 15 I'm looking for one of those pn-1 power nozzles in darker grey. It will look just like these just grey. My email is [email protected]
Thanks!

[vacuumlad1650]

Some MORE things I'm looking for
-Power Nozzle in picture 6, back row, all the way to the left

Thanks!
Andy

 

[headhare66]

Andy,

There are many plastic body canisters. Do they have a model number?

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Perhaps post some pictures of the Plastic Canisters? Im looking for more than a few!

pic 7 of the newest pics I'd be interested in the tank on the trailer that's to the farthest left bottom corner under what looks like buffer pads. How much would you want for that one? my email is [email protected]

 

[headhare66]

We finally just got them all tested and put onto shelves. I'm going to do an inventory so I can post that with all pics on a new thread. We ended up with 71 working machines and 10 non-working. Plus all the accessories that go with it. I'm looking to make some money, but I really want all of them gone. Except maybe one of the G's or F's. They are super cute so I think I'll keep one for myself It will be a few days before I get this together and priced. I have a collector coming Saturday to help me with this. I def need his expertise. If you want to throw a number at me I will most likely say yes. That machine you want, I have several of that model, are you looking for a whole vacuum set or just the machine or just parts?

Thank you for your interest,
Heather

Love it.

Hi Headhare66.
I'm starting out with a refurbishing business here in Maine. There is NO Electrolux service for old vacs in our region. The closest is Bangor/Brewer 50 miles away. I wish I lived close to you or just could take a trailer out to you.
I would like the parts (hoses, tubes/wands, power nozzles, and attachments). The units would be too heavy to ship.
The Floor Pro (Carpet Medic) photo group #3, pics 10-12 sounds like something a friend of mine is looking for.
My email: [email protected].
Thanks for sharing.
Carl

 

[headhare66]

Carl,

I have a 9 of those carpet medic things. Not the cardboard box, just the plastic case with all the brushes and cleaners. It is too bad that you are so far away. I need someone like you here in the Verde Valley or the Valley of the Sun in AZ

 

[luxmanmatt]

Any Olympia's?

Hi Heather! I would love a working Olympia (brown metal canister) with matching hose and power nozzle. I would definitely make a fair payment for your time.

 

[headhare66]

Hi,

I have 5 of those I have a collector, who I met on here, coming Sat to help me put machines together. I will have him put together the very best Olympia for you and I'll send you pics.

Just email me so I can do that

Heather

Like in the first pictuer (irst set of pictures0, i saw an Electrolux model xxx/30 in the background with a tool-saddle on it. i need one of the tool saddles

 

[luxmanmatt]

Olympia

Thanks Heather! I just emailed you. Thanks again!

 

[headhare66]

A tool saddle? Are you talking about the LXI with the wheels and the little clips on top? Someone has already spoken for the LXI in that pic. But if it's something else I'm not familiar with let me know

Heather

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Heather, its me, Andy! I spoke for the LXI! There is a similar style tool-saddle on one of the model 30's, ill need one of those too!

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Hi Heather, have you figured out shipping on the marquise?

 

[headhare66]

I haven't figured out shipping yet. I've been overwhelmed by these awesome machines....then my inlaws showed up I'm trying to answer each email as they come in and send pics of the requested machines. I'm going to the post office with a machine tomorrow so I can get some sort of idea on range of shipping. I promise I'm running behind as fast as I can hahaha
