I have no idea but those are gorgeous machines. My grandparents had an LX like that, which was used regularly well into the 1990s.

Lovely finds!
No, the same winder wont work. Mr. Nathan Thomas, my 'Friendly Electrolux Man' has many as well as TONS of attachments. His number is (806)-400-2999, and just tell him Andy Rousonelos sent you

Lovelux,
Those machines are GORGEOUS! Just today, I got my Super J and its power nozzle out and vacuumed the whole house. The Super J needed a good clean up, though. It was nasty.

They attach the same way, its the female ends of the cord. here are my 3 cordwinders. one Lx cordwinder doesnt work which is why i have 2 of those. Nathan send me the two lx cordwinders, my xxx came with its
Thanks
Thanks Andy for the pictures. I guess I can get a cord winder for the LX and just change the power cord to fit the model xxx. It is hard to come by a cord winder for the xxx with the correct cord. Did you ever change the cord in the winder?

Yes, it was for a customer at my repair shop. that was a Pain in The Rear End! No, its not hard to find an XXX cordwinder. My advice is call Nathan, and he should be able to set you up with a cordwinder for 10 bucks. I can also check if i have a spare down in my shop
Which cord? The one IN the winder of the one that goes from the canister to the winder?
The cord that goes from the canister to the winder is a separate cord from the one you pull out. Ill tear one apart tomorrow and take pictures
You Bet! Ill take some pictures in the shop tomorrow

2 cords in an Elextrolux cordwinder?
Andy is right there are 2 cords.
Look at the back of the cordwiner there's a round metal part that's removable and here's the small cord that plugs into the vacuum cleaner. Round prongs for the model XXX and flat for the model LX/LXI. By simply switchng these cords the winder can be used on either machine.
A word of caution if the main cord won't retract. This means the inner spring is sprung! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT!!! That spring was coiled in a machine at the factory, IT'S RAZOR SHARP and you can get baddly cut if you handle it. There are several cordwinders on EBay and you can get one that works. While the winder on my LX works great I don't use it, I keep the cord retracted. I got an Electrolux cord, pluged it into the Belden plug and use that. I don't want to run the risk of
spring the winder.
Hi Andy: I look forward to seeing the pictures as they can explaine this better than I can.

Hi lovelux, scroll back up to reply 6 and look at pictures 4 and 5 to see the small round part I spoke about, remove the nut and the cap comes off revealing the cord connection, then simply replace it with the cord of your choice (XXX or LX/LXI) and youre good to go.

Did you know these are not made by Electrolux?
The Electrolux factory in Old Greenwich, Connecticut was in a residential area meaning that according to town zoning regulations no rubber parts could be made at the factory.
The cords were made in Chicago by the Belden cord and wire company and the winders by the Vacuum Cleaner Corp. of Philidelphia, Pennsylvania. Other parts were farmed out as well like the tubing for the model LX/LXI ejector, handles, gaskets, trim on the attachments and all parts rubber, most likely the hoses as well as the base material was rubber. This was of course a highly guarded secret as Electrolux claimed that they 'made it all!" but Electrolux, like all companies were subject to the rules of the day.
