Quite a few years ago I received an email from a nice lady from the Midwest who found my web site. She said she had her mother’s “old Electrolux” in a green storage trunk. She said she didn’t have any need for it and if I wanted it she’d send it to me at no cost.
Imagine my surprise several weeks later when I came home from work to find a refrigerator-size carton on my front porch! “What in the world?!” I wondered. I lugged it into the house and unpacked it. There, to my disbelieving eyes, was a beautiful Electrolux Model LX! The lady had packed it well enough that it would have survived a nuclear holocaust.
It came with many extras including the floor polisher, sprayer and de-mother. And wonder of wonders: Tucked into one of the pockets of the storage trunk was the original instruction manual!
Cut to present day…
As most of you know, I am facing with the necessity for a HUGE downsize of all my stuff as I prepare to move to a much smaller place. I am having to let many beloved things go including, sadly, the Model LX. I have limited myself to my seven most-favorite Electroluxes, two Kirbys and a couple of floor polishers.
Rather than send the LX to a sad ending at the hands of a junk hauler, I wish someone who can come and get will take it. Again, as with all the other stuff I am parting with, I just don’t have the time or energy to pack and send it off to someone.
Here are some photos of the LX just as I received it.
So, please…if anyone out there wants this beautiful Model LX, won’t you come and rescue it? Thanks!
