This guy. Is incredible - Jeff from Vacuumman.com -
Fully restores Elecrolux's and has been doing so for about 30-33 years - and I think he told me over the phone his Dad has been doing so for about 77 - or maybe that's both of them totaled. Either way - very impressive and cool I'd say.
Anyways, here's my post from my other 1205 "motor replacement" thread -
Jeff from Vacuumman.com IS AN INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUAL!
He COMPLETELY restores Electrolux vacuums of ALL models to literally LIKE NEW condition -and does so for an incredibly price of $150 for a COMPLETE rebuild that includes -
- Replace the cord winder
- New bearings, brushes, and tuning up the motor to like-new condition
- Hammering out *ALL* dents in the body and painting at a shop that specializes in the body paint for Lux canisters (or has a selection for them -at least the 1205 - exact matching turquoise)
- Sand blasting and removing all rust and old paint and repainting fresh coat
- Completely rebuilding and tuning the automatic shut off system and dirt selector
- Replaces ALL wheels, castors, and axels, and hub caps
- Cleans all the rubber and basically REPLACES ANYTHING THAT NEEDS REPLACING!
It's basically the Kirby rebuild program but for Electrolux's - and at an incredible price!
This guy JUST called me back after e-mailing me and told that I can send in my 1205 and he'll COMPLETELY rebuild it, and send it back for FREE and then once I have the cash, I can pay him.
My jaw literally dropped to the floor (almost) - he said he's been doing this for 30-33 years and has never been screwed over, so he's confident in my integrity.
I guess that just goes to show us Lux owners are respectable people, eh?
Seriously, ANYONE looking to get their Lux near as fresh out of the box as possible - this is the man, or God maybe? Haha
