[codyf]

Today on my lunch i picked this up! i dont think it has the correct hose with it, but it does run, i would love to find the original attachment for it, i have been wating one for a long time and i was able to pick this one up for 10.00! if anyone has any attachment they would be willing to let got of for this model, let me know! BTW what model is this?

Model XXX

That is a Model XXX (30) that was made from about 1937 to 1952 (or there abouts). I think that particular model had the longest production run of any Electrolux model.

Oy......

I just died a little inside.......THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE Lux ever made mistaken for a Model G?

I retreat to my corner to sob in privacy...

Here's mine

Mine was about $8.56 in 2008, from the Humane Society Thrift Store in Vero Beach, the attatchment caddy came from one of my pals in Vacuumland. What a great find for you, and I know somebody can fix you up with all the extras.

Hey Cody! I think I have a rug nozzle, floor brush, tool caddy, and cord for your machine if you still need them. Let me know. Later, Trg

[codyf]

please dont cry!

it had beeen an extrenly long week, so sorry i had a brain fart! I dont know why i could not call my machine a XXX. i really did know that, maybe it was pure excitement brought by a new (old) vacuum. LOL anywho, im sending u a email right now trg, Hope everyone has a great day, we are off to work on our house! hopfully we will get all the walls stood up today and start with the roof tommorow!

 

[arh1953]

I think I had a little trouble myself believing what I was seeing when I got my XXX. They don't turn up in heavily shopped thrift stores every day.

 

[crevicetool]

Alright, here's my XXX.......

The XXX was just so attractive!

 

[crevicetool]

THIS is a G....

Let's not leave it out!

 

[crevicetool]

Whoops! Sorry, that's a T!!!!

Hey, they rhyme. Here's the G.

Question for Rick

What is that little device sitting next to your crevice tool on the XXX? It looks like it could be some kind of air bleeder attachment. I've never seen one of those before.

 

[crevicetool]

Bill,

That is a suction control. Prior to incorporating it into the handle of the hose. I'll post a picture of it in a little bit. It's really kinda cool.

 

[petek]

Rick I'll give you $20 for that XXX and all the attachements etc.. Deal? And to save you postage mailing it to me I'll pick it up in Chicago. Even better deal for you.

 

[petek]

And just to sweeten the deal I'll make it a $20 Canadian bill.

 

[crevicetool]

Pete,

I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I ripped you off for $20.00! I paid $4.99 plus shipping for that machine. It was minus a hose. I then "restored" it (didn't take much)- basically polishing and cleaning up. I've since added the extras over the past couple of years. I did have the cord winder re-chromed. This and my LX are among my favorites. So much shiny metal!

Bill,

Here's that suction control. It's marked in low - high increments.

 

[crevicetool]

Here is is from the top - it's in the high suction position.

 

[crevicetool]

As you move the knob toward "low" these vents open up.

 

[crevicetool]

Here it is in use. I always wanted one of these. It came as an "extra" with a sprayer. It was listed in the Electrolux XXX manual, but I had never seen one.

 

[luxg]

Well I learn something new everyday!! Rick I have never seen that suction control before. Have to go back and check the manual I have for my XXX and see if they show it. Oh my, your machines are beautiful!!!!

 

[crevicetool]

Terry!!!!!

Post a picture of your triangular crevice tool. PLEASE??? I think Bill would get a kick out of that!

Rick

Gosh Rick,
Your machines are sooo pristine!!
You've inspired me .... once I have my move behind me (next weekend is moving time) I've got to rev up the elbow grease and shine some of my machines.
My Lux 30 and 2 Kirbys are headed for the buffing wheel
I do love all the chrome on the luxs and Kirbys ... and it's so much fun when they're shiny.
BTW, love that suction control .... sometimes it's worth the extra effort to get the suction just right.
Thanks for posting
Pat

Here you go guys, I love this little tool, not sure but I think it was made for clothes, drapes, etc but I have found it works great on furniture too.
