Electro Hygene and J.C penney canister

[fantomfan]

Today I went to the Ronald McDonald sale in my area. It's huge!!! Anyway, It was the last day of the sale, And I ended up with a Electro Hygene upright(looks like an early 90's royal), a compact j.c penney canister, and a lamp, all for a mere $16(was half off, as it it the last day)They both work, the electro hygene needs a light bulb and bags, and the j.c penney needs a good cleaning. Anyway, I think i got two good machines today!!!!!! This is the same electro hygene I have:

Congrats Mitchell!!

Great find and sounds like you got a great deal! Looks like your Electro-Hygiene is a model 903, built between 1971 and 1983, and appears to be all original. I'm also thinking that because of the wide wheels and generic adjust-o-rite plate, it probably was built after 1975, as earlier ones would have narrower wheels and the adjust-o-rite plate would have said Electro-Hygiene on it. Give it a once-over with Mother's Mag and you'll have one beautiful machine!

Thanks! I looked on the bottom and its actually the model 503. The model in the pic is not mine but they look exactly alike. All it needs is a light bulb.

Could You Please Show Me That Nameplate?

Jeff knows what he's talking about, so just to be sure, could you please give me a close-up view of the nameplate from the vac you submitted in the picture here?

Thank you,



Ben

Sorry I made a mistake. It is the model 903. The sticker is worn so you cant tell that it says 903 unless you look real close. Sorry for the confusion - Mitchell

Any Ideas As to Its Serial #?

Mitchell,

From what is left of the nameplate, I wonder if the serial # is considered legible enough to read? Example: 67A-B-100939.

67A = January 1976 (6=calendar year; 7=calendar year decade; A=calendar year month January)
B = motor series revision
100939 = serial number sequence

Thank you,



Ben

This one is the 67D model.

Mitchell,

The date code you found on the nameplate indicates an April 1976 date of manufacturing. I'm wondering if the complete serial reads: 67D-C-101941?

Thank you,



Ben
