Electrolux Special Edition 1623

Thanks for the suggestions and links, Bill & Sven. I really appreciate it.

The lowest price of the motor I was able to find online was around $70.00 with s/h. I'm first going to see if I can get a used one from a local vacuum store that I can rebuild.

The Aerus dealer has a bunch of old Electroluxes in two back rooms and a basement, but he wants $100 a pop; so I'm not going to go that route.

It's too bad he's wanting to see junked machines. I've had vacuum shop owners give me that stuff just to get rid of it, including NOS vintage parts that they knew would never be used.

Yeah, he's a mercenary.

Also, he has no regard for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone on a limited budget that he could help by rebuilding them and selling them—or their parts—at modest prices. I'm not sure, though, if he's kept any of the hoses; so that would be the cost prohibitor.
