First, Thanks very much for the information. It gave me the guts to go ahead and get started. Now for where I am now:
The back of the xxx came off as described...except the on/off button (and its chrome surround) remained attached. I removed the screw in the bottom of this switch and the bracket that goes through the rear. Unfortunately, it still will not come out to free the rear housing for cleaning/polishing. The wires going into this switch have no connection at either end that I can see. How do I remove this switch and the chrome piece holding the handle and thus freeing the rear metal housing?
I figured out how to remove the "Electrolux" chrome from the sides of the xxx (only minor amounts of blood were involved) and the front ring seems simple now that the side panels are off. But the switch in the back is holding up the progress.
Any help would be continue to be greatly appreciated....I don't suppose anyone has a diagram on how the Rube Goldberg LX gizmo bag ejection actually works? I can see a vacuum tube going into the front lid and the trigger on the side but other than that, I'm at a loss. Also, what is that arge hollow tube under the bottom of the LX that is loosely held in place by 2 clips. I can't figure out how to remove it to clean it or what it's for. Same goes for the front cover (because of the eject stuff) and the side panels. My LX's are early ones with yellow/red side panels and no adjustment switches for the eject system.
Thanks much! Floyd in NC
