I just finally got myself to start writing numbers on my bags. I just replaced my after filter at the last bag change, so it was a good time to start.
I've been meaning to do it for a long time, but I always tell myself that I'll remember when it's time to change the filter. Yeah. Right.
Edgar;
Glad you rescued the Electrolux! Two of mine were picked up off the tree belt.
One is a dark grey Ambassador III, and the other one is a 75th anniversary Epic 6500 SR.
The Epic was trashed by its previous owner, and is ROUGH. Among other things, it needs a new motor. But it was one of my dream vacs, and I had to pick it up. I bought a motor for it, but I still haven't gotten around to working on it. Some day.
The Ambassador, after a thorough cleaning, is in amazing condition.
Of course, I probably ended up spending $50 or so on eBay, picking up the bits and pieces that were missing. I don't regret it for a minute though! It's a great vacuum!
Hope you enjoy your Diplomat!
Barry
