Electrolux Model S - CHECK THIS OUT!!

[arh1953]

That's what I believe Logan, but we never had the problem again after the motor change. I have some "off brand" bags I'm going to try on my 1453.

1453? Is that the Silverado? Sorry, I'm not really that good with the model numbers.

I think the Silverado is a 1505. The 1453 is the special edition (economy model) of the silverado????

 

[arh1953]

Here's the 1453

This is an old shot of 1453:

Oh ok, it's the Olympia Special! Thanks for the photo.

The 1453 also came in the gray color like the silverado. From my repair manual, the 1453 had a motor more similar to the 1205 than a SJ

See thread 2907 under contemporary vacs "electrolux special edition cannister" for pics of the gray colored version.

You are right! The economy or "special" model came in 3 colors and is the vacuum the replaced the Model L:

Brown (like the Olympia)
Gray (like the Silverado)
Off-White (like the Diamond Jubilee).

Electrolux discontinued the vacuum after the Diamond Jubilee. They used the same smaller motor as the 1205 and 1205-J (less suction than the top of the line cleaners).

Unbelievable!!!

I love those machines. I have 3 of them and they are so perfect in their own bizarre short-sheeted little way. Thank you so much for posting pictures from the manual. I've never seen an S manual before.

I keep an Electrolux moth-ball vaporizer on the front of my S just to wrap the cord around. Ain't Kosher, but it works.

Electrolux Model S

Hi Logan- I have a Model S I use regularly for the past approximately 40+ years! My parents gave it to me & they bought it brand new! I'm wondering if ANYONE out there knows where I can find the motor number to hopefully purchase a new set of brushes. I'm seeing on Google Searches there is a tag somewhere on the vacuum. There are no tags of any kind on the vacuum cleaner.

The information about the model S is engraved on the inside of the bag door. It uses the same motor as the Automatic F model, which are the standard Elux carbon brushes with the screw hole in the 90 degree flag

Just an update to reply 36

The Special Edition came in 4 colours.

Brown to match the Olympia
Silver Grey to match the Silverado
Seal Grig / Jadestone to match the Diamond Jubilee
Seal Grig / Taupe to match the Marquis Delux

Part way into the Run of the Marquis it was replaced with the LE.
