Rare AP100 Manual – Thoughts?

[johnpaprocki]

Hi everyone,

I just came across a Kijiji ad for an AP100 owner’s manual that looks almost untouched, from a seller in Trois-Rivières, QC: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1217030116

I’ve been following AP100s for a while and really admire the pristine examples some collectors manage to find. From the photo, does this manual look like it’s in near-mint/collector condition? Any insights would be greatly appreciated—I’m always eager to learn from those with more experience!



Thanks so much!

Why would it matter if its in "near-mint/collector condition" ? It looks like any other used old vacuum manual to me.

Haha, you’re right — to most people it probably is just another old vacuum manual. For me though, I have this intense (maybe even irrational!) nostalgia for Electrolux, so little things like manuals really appeal to me. They connect me to the history of the machines I love.
