My wife got this beautiful 400slc Electrolux Carpet Shampooer for me the other day.
it seems to be a 1985 model,
They were made right here in Cape Town South Africa, at Electrolux's manufacturing plant in Paarden Island.
I am not sure what the tie up was with the various similar machines sold in the USA.
Their are Electrolux and Columbus versions of this machine dating back to the 70's possibly earlier, all made locally, Production ended around 2013/15 when Electrolux finally stopped all manufacturing in SA.
They are very sought after here and newer versions can go for ridiculous amounts second hand. $ 150.00 sometimes.
