Hello Doug,

I am curious about the made body of the machine; is it cast aluminium or pressed
steel...is it in two parts?

Regards, Walter.

Hi Doug

Happy New year.

I may have a handle for the 310 in that colour. Will have a look for you.
Here are some of my Luxes and a Odd Sanyo

Luxes

Gareth,

Nice selection of luxes you have there, could you show us some more of the three on the left of the 55 please. And also the one on the right of the 310, is that an Electrolux too?

Hi Gareth:

Thanks. Let me know what you find.

Hi Al:

The one to the right of the 310 is a Sanyo - I have a brown version of that machine.

A couple more pictures to add. These are the machines that I received parts for in this shipment.

Electrolux 330

While I have had this machine since the early 90's I just received the dual dusting brush and crevice tool/brush head to complete it in this shipment (Thanks Al and Sam). Now all I need to find is an original of the instruction book (have a copy already).

The Volta U155. Now all I need to find is the dual rug nozzle (which I understand could be either a dark brown or white), the white brush head for the crevice tool and the power nozzle.

Nice machines !


The GOBLIN WIZARD is priceless !

Anyway, shipping damage happens quite often for such long trips, that's why I don't buy anylonger from the US market : it can take months to arrive, boxes often stop at the italian border in Genova and they want a fax with declaration of the content, there are expensive taxes, etc IT'S A REAL MESS ! In both cases, my cleaners arrived damaged ( a loving HOOVER 28 with broken hood and a cute HOOVER 541 with broken fan : in both cases the two machines are still sitting - for 8 years - waiting for repair parts...a real pity ).
But this happens for shorter trips as well like it happened to me - again - a couple of years ago with an astonishing HOOVER 160 ( UK version of your 150 ) that I bought from a stupid english collector ( 74simon ) who - after receiving tons of emails from me asking him for extra packaging material in order to protect the hood - simply put the cleaner as it was in a small box, forcing the box until the sides collapsed and then wrapping the thing with meters and meters of tape...of course the bakelite hood arrived completely smashed. The poor idiot was "very sorry", asked for photos for a refund from ensured package and proposed to help me find a spare hood....never heard from him again. Poor thing !
Still today I am looking for that hood ... hope you will be more lucky with these more recent models !

Is

that yellow Volta a 110v model? If it is, I have another Volta/Electrolux to hunt for!

Hey Guy

Yes the Volta was sold in Canada in the mid 70's by Dometic before the model 345 that you have. It had a similar optional power nozzle but with a full plastic handle instead of the wand. I also recieved the dusting brush for your Dometic in this shipment. I'll get hold of you about shipping that to you as soon as I get the house back in order. Working on packing away the chrismas stuff now.
