Hybrid Electrolux Model F

[dr_sunflare]

I have been happily using my "refurbished by Electrolux" vacuum since its purchase from an authorized Electrolux store in 1976. I notice that although the ID plate states that it is an Automatic F model there is no cord winder. Instead, the rear of the machine has just a simple flared steel end. Can someone explain this apparent hybridization?

The cord winder was an added purchase to Electrolux from Model XXX to the G when they became part of the machine. They do look kinda "bare" without the cord winder though, don't they?
