Just thought I'd pass along a current eBay listing for a brown Model B-8 that looks like it's had very limited or gentle use. It even comes with its original carton--something that is quite rare. It is one of the later ones, because the cord is hard-wired (earlier ones had detachable cords). "Deluxe" meant that it came with both sets of brushes and the shampoo dispenser tank. I'm not sure if the scrubbing or buffing pads were included.
Notice that the nameplate's text wasn't changed from the first B-8s that were made for polishing and scrubbing only.
I don't know the seller, but am hoping that such a machine will go to someone who appreciates it for its vintage value. I have one already, otherwise I wouldn't be posting this thread.
Fyi ... the brown-colored Electrolux USA cleaners were manufactured from April 1979 to 1982. They include the Olympia One, Model 1453, brown Rug Washer, and brown Model CB.
