Mine came with only the hose, inner cloth dust bag and one floor tool...and two electrolux wands, which fit fine.

Next I'll post the interesting things I'm finding out about it's features. First, can anyone explain the EMDEKO name before Filtex?

The manufacturer's label on the bottom. No mention of Emdeko?

The grain/skin pattern is extraordinarily beautiful in pale green on cream. The pattern does repeat on a 9 1/8" grid but is so skillfully tooled it's not obvious. This section is 14" wide.
That's the most car-like vacuum I've seen yet. What good fortune that you ended up with it, and have that swell book with it.

Great Find! I have one also in excellent condition.
Can you email me the this set of instructions?
I would appreciate it!
Thanks!

I may be wrong....
But I think Emdeko was a "re builder" of Filtex machines. Is the tank portion of your machine fiberboard? I repaired a Filtex for a friend's Mother years and years ago. I was surprised to discover the tank was not steel or aluminium.

It's also the first vacuum Manual I'
ve seen that mentions you can dust your organ as well.
Judging by the illustrations of a basket chair, flat heel foot slippers, bedroom headboard shelves and the automobile, this dates from the very late 50s or early 60s? And refers to the ever popular spinet organs w 13 foot pedals.

yes, I was surprised to see the top section of the cylinder is a heavy fibreboard that joins to the metal bottom.
The motor filter is a 1/2" pad of fibreglas in a perforated - much like an Air-Way Airoma pad grill - cardboard 'puck', the halves joined with masking type paper tape.
