Electrolux Group B-61 Buffer/Shampooer

This Electrolux Group B-61 buffer/shampooer is currently listed on Ebay. Does anyone have any information on it (e.g. years of production, versions, etc.)?

This surprised me ... a single pad Electrolux! I took for granted that all Electrolux buffer/shampooers (Swedish, American, Canadian, etc.) had 3 rotators:

It's European for sure. The early Lux machine's didn't always have 3 brushes. To be honest, I've never seen a European one of these. It doesn't look all that old either.

Hi!. I used to have one of this, just the same colour. I assume it's Brazilian, but could be Chilean. Anyway, though Electrolux it's my preferred make, sorry John, this one it's not specially good quality. One or two years after we bought it, it started to fail, the motor worked but the brush refused to spin. You had to move it fast along the floor in order to let the brush spin. Finally it started to fall apart, I mean, one of the arms separated from the other and I refused to repair it, because I considered a low quality product. And finally I got rid of it. My two pence.

Does it say which country it is located? It's not a North American Lux product because the logo is too different. Only the European Lux and the countries they sold in had that logo. It looks just like today's logo.

Thank you for your responses, Christopher and Gus. The Ebay seller is in the U. S. and just noted in her/his posting that the machine has a foreign plug. As for the poor quality that Gus experience that doesn't seem to be the case with Electrolux USA/Aerus machines. Hopefully, it was just a lemon and not a widespread issue.
