My Flea Market find!

[jmurray01]

You can't go wrong with a vintage Electrolux!

The motors were made exceptionally well (I should know - My '82 502S upright was in daily use from the day it was bought and still works fantastically with the original motor).

Wow! Thanks Norm sounds like yours is a keeper too.I was pretty shocked that this one still runs good and cleans really well.The end of this hose is metal as well but I'm wondering what is missing.I like the looks of this one it looks like one of the old Stream-liner trains.I think it's a cool looking vac and I bet yours is outstanding too.

 

[tyson]

I know I'd buy a few of them too.I always liked the looks of the ranger too.

 

[tyson]

Yours sounds like a great find too Daniel.I think I would have probably given 70 for it too.

Metal Wand End !

Tyson
When I say metal wand end. It would be a metal, curved wand end. NO plastic
hand grip !
I'll show you when we have a spring time mini meet, hopefully in Ashland.

Oh Ok Norm.I understand,Yeah that would be great.I did find out they made it from 1937 all the way through the early 40s.I wish I knew how to read it's numbers to find out it's production year out of curiousness.K86679H as it's stamped on the front of the machine's lid.

Tyson, they were made from 1937 until the early 50's, with a few variations, which I find is incredible for one single model! Here is a link containing more information on the model 30 which I found with a google search a few months ago.

Hope this helps!

Oh, and just a guess, its probably around a 1942-1945 model.

Looks just like my 48, the best sound one has ever heard

 

[vacuumfreak]

Do you happen to have a picture of the exhaust end? This also helps a little bit to tell what year it was made.

Daniel

 

[tyson]

I took a picture of the exhaust port.Here you go.I think it's one of the later models.

 

[vacuumfreak]

That is a early 1948 model I believe. Around late 1948 is when the round runners came out.

Thank's Daniel I thought it might be because of the runners but the saloon doors exhaust kind of got me wondering what year is this thing as the earlier Models had just vented Exhaust ports.
