Jeff!

You've got to love that Connie. I saw one once in Zayre's store, new, for only $39.00. I should have bought one then, but I was 15. I now have 3. Great tools. I think they were the last of the really great attachments.

Charles,

That's it ! I have been in many Elux offices but only one had this and knew what it was for.The 'Dig More Dirt' demo was to get a minimum of 50 piles of dirt & dust from the cloth demo bag.This was not a trick that some demos could be as it was the facts of seeing the dirt that was already in the customershouse anbd how quickly and easily the Electrolux could remove it. You would vacuum an area briefly and remove the demo bag.By shaking the bag you would get from 4 to 8 piles of dirt with sand falling out first and fine dust last.The more dirt the customer saw from different area the more they knew they needed and wanted a better vac.This allowed the same demo with the CB in motels,stores,ofices,etc.-RARE item!

Regina model 59

This was donated today at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum. It's a straight suction Regina upright, model 59, complete with optional attachments and floor polisher kit. It was made in the late 1940's, decades after the revolving brush had been developed. Yet, Regina wouldn't make a revolving brush upright until the Brush 'N Beat in 1970.

Had their own PLUG

I guess they made the cord themselves.

Nameplate - it would have been removed to insert the hose. HUGE Westinghouse-built motor. 55 inches of water lift (which is EXCELLENT for a dirty air motor design).

Nice Regina!

I also have a 59, and a 39. My 39 is the best of the two--runs like a top and has a complete set of attachments, except for the sprayer. My 59 doesn't run, and is also missing the wand and suction adapter for the hose. Here's a pic of both, the 39 on the left and the 59 on the right.

And here's the 39 with the attachments.

And the 59 with its attachments. As I said before, it's missing a few.

Electrolux CB

I just have two questions concerning the Electrolux CB model. I bought one about 2 years ago for 30 bucks and it's in gorgeous condition. I've been using it all this time with no problems whatsoever. My questions are these: 1- what is this vacuum worth? 2- I have been told that there are bags that were made for this model. Where can I get them and where do they go on the unit?
