I won the eBay auction!
Hi Paul and Keith.
I counterbid and then it fell off with no response. Then I bid again and the seller counterbid and I countered that and they accepted. I emailed the seller and it has been used since the Rebuild, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a reputable person or shop in Los Angeles who can do a deep cleaning of the machine (check pre motor filter, etc) and check for hose leaks, etc.? Or is that my job?!?
I ended up paying almost $200 including shipping, but compared to other listings, it looks in very reasonable condition, except for a few deep scratches on the control panel face plate.
Do you think the top part was originally stainless on this model.. as in many pics of that era's Electrolux Silverados and Olympia Ones, and/or has been repainted to match body color during the Rebuild?
What are the best filter bags to buy? Any with a HEPA equivalent performance?
Sorry for so many questions.
Bill
