AE Bonanza!
I love it!! We don't see Electroluxes featured nearly enough here. 
I have four AEs, each a little different. One is like "Mama's" with a chrome halo instead of a cord winder, two have the early cord winder without the aluminum band around the perimeter, and one has the later "Early AF Style" cord winder with the aluminum band. All four are in immaculate condition.
Following are photos showing the two different cord winder models.
The machine showing the early style is a particularly rare specimen. Electrolux used to "lend" machines to high school Home Economics classes. Note the badge on the side of the machine.
This particular machine must not have been put to very much Home-Ec instructional use: It was in near-mint condition when I got it, with the original hose in unbelievably new condition, original cord with Belden plug, optional accessories including polisher, sprayer and vaporizer! It even had an ORIGINAL Model AE bag inside, AND a filter in the rear end that had not a speck of schmutz on it!
