An Electrolux salesman told me once that THIS very machine was the LAST of the good ol, long lasting Electrolux's,,like the kind that hardly NEVER wear out, no matter how abused or old they get. Especially when owned by the proverbial little old lady that only used it once a week!
He said that ANY machine that has the red lettering inside the lid, above the bag cage that says "Use Only Genuine Electrolux Bags" is made after this first model of Silverado, and is also only going to last 10- 15 years,,maybe a few yrs longer under the right conditions, but NOT NEAR as long as this machine and the ones before it.
(if your Silverado does have the red letters,AND this style of handle,its had some work done and replacement parts installed at some point)
So, you did VERY well! Good Job!
