Let There Be Light!
I wasn't expecting it today but the postman delivered the headlight bulb a little while ago. I just installed it and fired it up for a second to confirm that it works. It was nice to see it lit up for the first time. That just leaves the cord to install, whenever it arrives.
It still kind of mystifies me why the engineers at Electrolux chose to use two different types of screws (Phillips on the bottom and Torx on the height control knob) instead of just one type. It would have been a whole lot more convenient to have the same type of screws both places so only one tool would be needed to take the cover off. The Phillips screws were probably marginally less expensive, so they with those to save something like half a cent per machine to make the bean counters happy.
So the vacuum is certainly usable as it is now and has certainly had a bit of a transformation from the beaten down survivor it was when I found it last week. It's really turning out to be a very nice machine.
