Electrolux-volta Z 59

[tommymilan]

Hello all guys,
sorry for having been away for quite a time for what concerns posts but believe me, I always read all of the posts of yours!
Here I am to share with you a few pictures of a vacuum cleaner that a friend of mine gifted me two days ago coming for a dinner at mine here in Milano. It's an Electrolux-Volta Model Z 59, dating-I suppose- the late fifties! It looked great though it need a little elbow grease to make it look as it does now. However I hope you like it, enjoy the pictures!

Hi, I wish there were but nothing to do. Just the vacuum and a few tools (most of them and I have original spare wands to complete it!
Here is a picture of it with me!

Beautiful! And the Lux is nice too. What is up with that chrome thingy across the front cover? Any way of posting a picture of that in use?

well, thank you for the compliments!should I post some pictures of me in the off-topic forum???ahahh
well for what concerns the baby I haven't plugged in and turned on yet... I must confess I'm quite afraid of old electric appliances. I usually ask my boyf to turn them on for me!!! poor him but he's brave...I'll let you know if it works!

Confessional Coincidence

Tommy, I have the same problem. Strange, isn't it? I love vacuum cleaners to death, but at the same time, I'm a little bit afraid of them when it comes to turning them on (the power, I mean).

me too, when he says "let's turn it on!" I gump to the opposite side of the house, covering my ears...I'm really afraid of electric shocks and I would never like to see a baby of mine burning up...though I asked my electrician to put safety switches and fuses... I don't know why I'm so scared... the only times I didi it ( with success and without troubles I had drung a bottle of champagne right before!
