Who could resist such a sales lady? And such a fabulous product. The problem is she wouldn't let it go. I understand it came from the Craig Distributorship in North Carolina. What a beauty. And the machine isn't bad either.

Close Up

Of the box and some accesories. Original package of wrappers from 1952. White wall brush and filters. This lady can come by anytime!

Me eyes!

What an absolutely STUNNING machine! Whoever had that beauty before really loved their machine to death! (or hated it so much they hid it away forever!)


I would have fainted if I saw something so pristine here!
 
Redhead with Red-badged...

That is about as pretty an LX as I have ever seen! And nicely demonstrated as well. Even the hose looks incredible. Enjoy!

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">OMG, the hose....... Would you please take some close-up shots of it so I can drool uncontrollably?! </span>


 


<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">(Hans, where on earth did you find this flawless specimen -- in a time machine??!)</span>

"My New Electrolux"

Hey Guys!

Yes, I am indeed thrilled to pieces on getting this Electrolux from Hans Craig who found it at an "Antique Mall" in NC! I always dreamed of finding a "New" one some day and when I saw Hans had one I asked if he would trade for a General Electric Floor washer he had been wanting for awhile. Thank You! Thank You! again Hans for this BEATIFUL DREAM MACHINE! I show it off to everyone I know!!
It is truly a TIMEPIECE!

HAPPY VACUUMING!
Tania
 
Hose Shots For Charles

The hose that is pictured above with the machine is actually a replacement hose I got from Tania a while back. Before I came home she went down in the basement and ferreted it out. The inside hose pictured is actually the original hose that came with the machine. The middle hose is a replacement that I found on a trip with Tania up to Jeager's in Kewaskum, WI, house of many treasures. I gave Tania the middle hose to add ends and use with the machine. Unfortunately the original leaks a bit but the others are good.

Guess What I Found

In the basement. A brand new Lux polisher in the box. It's a spare so this one goes to Tania to make her machine complete. There not shown, but she has all the bits including a brand new garment aire bag.

I remember!

The first time we met Tania, 1996 St Louis, we all have loved her ever since, truly one of the clubs nicest members.
