Electrolux XXX/30

[vince1]

Attempting to get a visual of a paperbag adapter for this particular model.
There is a reference to this adapter on this site.

The contact link listed was electrolux137/eBay

That link is no longer available.

Any help?

Go here for direct success…

Get on Facebook. Join the groups: “Electrolux Vacuums (Pre-Aerus)” and Electrolux Vacuum Group USA”. Then put a post on there asking “Charles Richard Lester” to please post a photo of the bag adapter. He has one. He is the man behind “Electrolux137”.

Most of us have gone over there these days as much easier to use and the groups are dedicated to all thing Electrolux. I’m there too as Jonathan Schuyler.

Hope this helps.

Here you go, and thank you to the OP

The below image's link points to this site, but just reads vacuumland.org with no specific URL. I enlarged the image for clarity.


 


There was a site called theelectroluxman.com whose business was reconditioning and reselling vintage Elux vacs. As I recall he actually had one or more adapters for sale. The site appears to be no more, as I got a 404 error just now.


 


As an aside, I once had a model L that someone had installed an XXX or similar (thick fans) motor in. It was fine with genuine paper bags, but strained with third-party bags, even multi-layer ones. I wonder how many people used this adapter with bojack bags and were disappointed with their vac's performance. I would think that the Elux salesmen would have strongly stressed that genuine bags were a must.
