Just on the subject of cleaning out - does anyone need any repair parts for machines - especialy Canadian Electroluxes. have a whole pile I'll have to move and would rather trade - Switches, Handles etc

I'm foaming at the mouth with all those GEs there. The Constellations are easy on the eyes too. The Roll-Easy would complete my Roll-Easy trio quite well.

 

[collector2]

LOL - The Roll Easy even came from Florida too (as well as the VIIC3 and the AVC 815) - They were courtesy of a very good friend - George Bocknewch

 

[arh1953]

Well my concave Roll-Easy, same design as yours different trim colors, is from Georgia, the bigger convex one is from Pennsylvania. Would you possibly have any tools for Roll-Easies? Or aluminum friction fit wands for a GE tank similar to the ones Dave got from you?

I don't think I have ever seen

a Swivel-top with the chrome top and (Is that maroon?) bottom. Really attractive! And until this thread, I did not know what other shape canister cleaner I need to "represent" all the various shapes. One of those tear drops would do it! I'll have to be on the look out for one. What is that disc-like silver thingy in front of the Roll-Easy? Great pics and GREAT vacs BTW!!!

Hey Rick - lol - I used a roll of duct tape to hold the roll easy in position.

If you mean the VC2B the top and bottom are maroon and the rest cream. There was also a VC2A which I havnt found that was peach and grey.

My favorite of the teardrop shaped Eurekas is the Chrome and Black Viking 1005

Re: the Ge Parts - afraid I dont have any other roll easy parts or wands - to my knowledge the roll easy's were never sold in Canada sorry about that - the bulk of my spares is for the Canadian Electroluxes

Sorry to hear the move may be imminent, Doug.

Thrilled, tho, that you are taking the opportunity to organize and share group shots.

You showed me such a great time when I visited in mid December and I may even have laid eyes on most of these treasures you've pictured. It's my hope I'll make a return trip nov/dec, too.

Well, you know I'm in need of a red cordwinder & housing for my haloed 86...and of course a red 88 with the wraparound bumper, in any condition or state of dissassembly, is the only 80 Series model missing from Davy's Luxe Towers. Turquoise rear wheels for a G?

Wish I could be there to help help heave the haulage to their new home...

Thanks for the info Doug. Hope your possible moving project works out. I know how it goes.

 

[constellation86]

Wow! I think my heart stopped when I saw the connies. What a great collection you have. I wish we had more colors here in the states. Your tilted ones are my faves.

Doug, if you have a white Elux power cord spare I could use one for my AP280..one of the metal prongs broke off mine and I hate to splice a generic ugly plug on the end of it..
Lemme know...

 

[collector2]

Hey Pete - I should have several of those around - I'll take a look next time I'm down there and let you know.

 

[charles~richard]

Yeah Doug, very sorry you're facing this problem. "been there, done that." It's very frustrating isn't it. Good luck with the relocation of your storage items.

 

[petek]

Thanks..
btw are you at all thinking about going to N.Canton for the convention? Drive or fly you can always vacation here at our place as part of the trip, it's only about 3.5 hrs drive from our house

 

[ge1969]

Hey Doug! Hope your move goes well. I'm in need of a standard hose and wire, or electric hose for my Electrolux 89. Also, I need the power nozzle for this machine. I have the original telescoping wand that's electric, but no power nozzle. Also, let me know if you ever think about selling the GE Swivel-Top with the power nozzle. Hope you can help me with the Lux. Later, Trg
