Electrolux Contour - Information Wanted!

[turbo500]

and here's the second style Contour, the Z1460, alongside the 1070, Airclean and super rare pink Glider Pulse Power.

Confused

Because earlier on I read a comment which led me to think the resurrection of old threads was really not good manners.

 

[turbo500]

There's a difference, Benny. I came across these old catalogue pics and thought I'd post them here as they're relevant to the topic. In the case of that other thread, it was brought back up just for the sake of an argument

Rather coincidentally

I was reading this post yesterday gleaning information about my recently acquired Contour, and then it's been bought back from the dead!

 

[alexhoovers94]

Oh, Chris, come on!

You CLEARLY have nothing beter to do... Lol.

 

[turbo500]

what, than share relevant information in an old thread? Oh, how terrible!

For your information, I'm not sitting trawling through the archives purposely looking to cause an argument, unlike some.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Actually..

I searched for Electrolux 502S in the archives and some what naturally it came up with lots of Jamie's posts relating to it. It is just he happened to have mentioned his Turbopower 1000 and Electrolux 502S, which is why it came up, I just happened to see that post UNINTENTIONALLY and thought it would be funny to post that silly flippant comment in hope that it might make someone chuckle, including Jamie...If you can't take a joke then that is not my fault...Like I said, get over it.

Alex.

 

[turbo500]

But it wasn't a joke, was it? It was quite obviously a dig at Jamie, done to provoke a reaction and thus cause an argument.

And as usual, Alex, you have hijacked yet another thread and turned it totally irrelevant to the original post.

Back on the Contours, please?

 

[alexhoovers94]

But that is just it, it didn't cause an argument, did it?...Oh, actually it might have...Just let me read through the dozens of argumentative replies after my comment on that other thread...........
And for your information, Benny brought it up (no offence Benny) so, technically I didn't hijack this tread did I?...Now, back to the Contours.

 

[turbo500]

it didn't cause an argument, did it?

much to your disappointment.

 

[vintagerepairer]

No offence taken

I was indeed the person who made the comment, my internet skills being such that I have to sit back and learn the various etiquette of the various sites I frequent(my cleaning lady insists one day I shall be on facebook), so of course I was very, very confused to see a comment chastising one person for pulling out an old thread, only to find someone else doing so moments later, and then even more confusing I read the name and see it's the same person who did both. I was immensely perplexed to say the least.

Somewhat innocently, I thought being part of a forum was like watching TV or reading the newspaper; one instinctively ignores or does not read the parts which one finds irritating or uninteresting, bearing in mind of course the subjective nature of what constitutes an irritant, and so on & so forth. I see now that the policy of being a forum member is to read everything and then comment accordingly, siting everyone else as feeling the same as oneself whenever opportunity to do so presents it's self. I must suggest that finding out about the internet is no small task, but every day I learn more!

Anyway, with that catalogue photo you've posted, Chris, does the Z1070 actually have a three rocker switch height adjustment or 2? I always liked that one though I've rarely seen the Turbo coming up at auction.

 

[sebo_fan]

Talking of which, a Contour 2 which needs restoration.

Another resurrection!

So, I got given this today! Clearly a badge engineered contour, although one difference I can see is the bag entry tube is round and not elongated like the contour, so I've got to hack a bag on some how...

No idea if it works, I'll find out tomorrow! But it's pretty cool in an obscure way. What do we reckon the age is? Early 2000s?
