Need Hose and bags for Electrolux LX

[sfcoronet]

Hello,

I just bought an Electrolux LX for $5 at a garage sale, but it didn't have a hose and only came with one bag - I was wondering if someone could tell me if they had an extra hose that would fit this model or where I might look other than Ebay. Also, what bags fit this model and where are they available? Does anyone make a reusable cloth bag?

Thanks!

Nice 60

Here's what a close to original hose looks like.  With the machine (found new in the box by Hans Craig and now owned by Tania Voight.)  Good luck finding one, they aren't easily found in good condition.  You can get a replacement hose (see link below.)  It won't be close to original though.

On Tania's 60.  Has a lot about the hoses for these machines.

Bags

The LX uses style C bags which are readily available.  The LX was the first Electrolux to uses disposable "wrappers" as they were called at first, and every subsequent Electrolux model continued using the same bags except for the newest Guardian models.

Here's a hose I bought on eBay - looks pretty nice!
