[QUOTE="akabent, post: 12736, member: 57"] [b]VERIFLEX morphed to E'LUX[/b] There are different ways one might approach this, but the simplest is to use a vinyl cuff or collar available at most 'old-style' vacuum repair shops. As you know, the spiral hoses essentially thread into one end of the collar while the other is manufactured to fit the machine end of an Electrolux. (Only Lux requires two different collars to accomodate the original tapered hose, one being smaller than the other) Since the VERIFLEX hose has that lighter-colored 'vinyl string' running between the grooves of the outside of the hose, remove approx 1-1/2 to 2 inches worth by unwinding it. It will unwind!! Then 'screw' the hose into the collar and friction-fit or glue the collar into the Lux fitting. Going with the Thread Theme above, I am guessing the 'working end' will be attached to a Hoover 'handle'. One can also use vinyl electrical tape (wound tightly) to build up the outer diameter of the hose to cause a good friction-fit to the Lux end. This is actually more cosmetically pleasing, too!!! Lemme know how it works out! Rick [/QUOTE]
