I am the original owner of a model 1401B Olympia, serial no. N41167H, purchased new in 1978. It is in excellent condition, with all accessories. The hose is worn out and needs to be replaced. The machine has been in storage in Minneapolis since 1992, when all I needed in a new home was a stick vac. Best offer. Thanks to all.

Exactly, cheese wonton. It was so long ago it's hard to remember how or why cream-colored attachments got replaced by green. I had an Electrolux salesman for years, until he retired. He was great, would even deliver bags to my home when I ran out, with no charge for the 32-mile round trip from Wayzata on Lake Minnetonka to Minneapolis. He sold me the Olympia and I later bought the expensive (green) power floor sweeper from him when I could afford it. It's possible he threw in the other green attachments in the pix--he was like that.

Seems to me the important thing is the machine runs like a top, has powerful suction, right?

Sorry about any confusion. I'm not a collector but just an enthusiastic Electrolux fan.
