It works

just plugged it in quick & took it out as it rolled a few feet like a rolling bullet

Armature looks ok

Thanks

Wonder

So luxes didn't come with Lambmotors?

The Sunbeam challenger has a lamb
Filter queen has a lamb
I also believe compact has a lamb

What else?

Interesting



Would have to find something to mount it too

Hey
what about Rainbow

LOL


Nah Rainbow has only 3 motor mounts if I recall

I'm going to say an industrial application of some kind, or a central vacuum. 7 inches is on the large side.
 
Here's the motor filter queen in the one I have been putting together
older one

right now only working on lo

model 1157362SP

I think its a 75 filter queen

see similarities?

I don't have measurements
but could be except filter queen looks taller on the top part

this motor is 3 1/2 inches bottom part 2 1/2 inches narrower top

Just they look somewhat similar
but I;m really new to vac motors

LOL

Seems late G model has smaller bearings

Found an armature rewound for a G etc

States:

...........Early G Front Ball Bearing has 1 Inch Outside Dimension.

........DOES NOT FIT LATE G MOTOR. (Smaller Diameter Bearing.


So motors are not interchangeable or at least the parts aren't

Can't wait to compare/test the G's with a hose...
 
Yeah, there were a few bearing changes between the Model 30 and the Super J motors. The model 30 had a small rear bearing (commutator end) and a large front bearing. On these older motors neither bearing was sealed and they could be greased occasionaly. I guess at some point they switched the small rear bearing for a sleeve bearing. I'd imagine at some point after that the large front bearing was switched to a smaller bearing set. At some point they must have switched to the more modern sealed bearing sets.

I think most of the motors out there and probably all motors from 1968 to 1983 were the small ball / sleeve type which I have the most experience with.
 
Interesting but still somewhat greek to me

Might be getting over my head

I understand but don't have the experi9encve or is it practicval 4 me to be playing w bearing in motors

what can I do w the motor
don't think I can use brushes as I originally hoped

Just finished anothe rescue

the eureka brown esp vibra groom 2
LOL

6.5 amps

never did I see so much hair on the brushroll

the belt was displaced 1/4 in
of course woudn't turn
someone tried
you cab see the rubber on the bottom plate where it rubbed

took off some hair to test it
got rollr to go
then belt broke

so thats what I did today

Figured I'd try it
if nothing least its something to trade
or I can use the parts

Yeah, feeling like a vac junkie
LOL

I can't wait to hear how it goes. I have a bit of a history with the tan model g but I won't get into that at the moment.
 
Gee's here....

LOL

I'm pleased as its Gerrific.

Shipper did a great job

It works nice
Hose losing alot but it still works
Have to get a vinyl hose


Wiped the vac down
it was almost like new
has on set scratches on rear could have even been the wand did it during shipping.
Least he packed everything in plastic & wrapped the vac in paper. Could be better but could be alot worse
Cord retractor works cord is good.

I haven't even touched the floor tool & its very clean.

2 alum wands & a electrolux cream crevice tool prob not orig to machine

Metal bag insert in great condition

Machine was well kept
Had a real old bag in it with a ounce of dirt.

Don't think its been used in a long time
Probably has had light use

YEAH!

Here she is....a sweetie

Bird likes it too as its quiet

Very nice tan G, a real sweetie! That color is fairly scarce these days, because it was only made for not even a year, as opposed to about seven years for the turquoise.

This model was the second vacuum cleaner my parents bought; I clearly remember the day I came home from school on a warm, sunny spring day in 1968 (when I was in the 6th grade) and I heard the sound of a vacuum cleaner running. I knew it was not Mama's old, battered E-Automatic because that sweeper made a distinctive hissing sound. Long story on that; suffice it to say that that poor vacuum had a long and difficult life due to my "experimenting" on it from the time I was about three years old.

Anyway, I followed the sound into my parents' bedroom and there was Mama, merrily vacuuming - almost dancing with it! - with a glistening new Electrolux Tan G! Turns out the Electrolux man had come while I was at school (which really pissed me off!) and he talked Mama and Daddy into getting a new vacuum. She was as happy as she could be to finally have a sweeper that she didn't have to drag around on its side because its wheels had been amputated!

Seeing the gleam in my eye, she glared at me, wagged her finger and sternly declared, "YOU keep your HANDS OFF!" Well, that didn't last long needless to say!

They did not get the power nozzle, thought it was "too expensive" and the house had mostly hardwood floors anyway, other than one large oval woven rug in the living room and some throw-rugs. I was still kinda mad that they didn't get a power nozzle, though!

---

Thanks also for the photo of the L bag cage. I have not looked at my Ls for quite a long time and forgot that they had this sort of perforated cage, which, yes, would be much more efficient than the single hole in the end. I am not sure when that variation came out but I know that both of my Silverados have it.
 
Thanks, I think I got a good one
Still need a hose
so my orig quest goes on...

LOL

Looking into the aftermarket non electric plastic.
Should really make it a great old sucker.

Electrolux was my first love

Turquoise is a sweetie too

Yeah power nozzle isn't really great for a scatter rug
just tears up edges & your parents were probably right on not getting it but least they got the new G.

Why did the white letters seem to fade when I tried to clean them with a toothbrush it was a soft

Darn too much love I guess...

OOOh well
