I feel so sorry for this poor Electrolux model 30. The entire body looks like it has been dipped in blue paint. They even painted the wands, how Ugly! I had a Metropolitan rebuild and I absolutely hated the painted wands. The attachments look so cheap compared to the original metal attachments and the hose end is from a newer electric hose. Metropolitan should have paid more attention to detail.

I never saw wands painted like that.

Won't they scratch bigtime? I'm not bashing (do I bash), but, that vac looks like it belongs at the Smurfs' house!

A very interesting listing, which features a 60's HOOVER Junior and a 1974 HOOVER Ranger U4004 in a very unusual colour!

Junior & Ranger

Jamie

Not so unusual, both machines are re-builds. That said, in the early 1980s (I think) there was a Co-Op exclusive ranger in a cream finish with brown bag. This was after the Ranger style was dropped from the "official" hoover product line and replaced IMHO by the much uglier 4186.

Al

jmurray01 · Apr 19, 2012

Yeah, but it can't be a Co-op one because it was made in '74 as I said, or at least the SN leads me to believe that.

Valuable set of Sears Kenmore canister attachments! Includes the best crevice tool ever designed and put on the market (in my opinion)! All crevice tools should have an off-center suction channel to slide flat under refrigerators!

For anybody in the UK this 70's Electrolux 502 in good condition may interest you.

I for one can highly recommend the 500 range.

At 99P for a starting bid you could get it cheaply and if you weren't near to the seller I'm sure he'd post it for an agreed price.

There is one particular person on this forum who always titles all of his auctions “vintage” so his vacuums will get views by collectors. Even if the vacuum is a year old he will still put vintage in the title. I’m sure that there are people on the forum who are annoyed at my posts. It’s difficult to please everyone.

Regina Power Head....

I just found this early & rare Regina powerbrush for the Duo-Vac canister vacuums back from the late 1960's. Somebody here had better rescue this QUICK before someone who isn't knowledgeable & doesn't realize the rarity of this, buys it, uses it & ruins it!

Regina Power Head

Actually Brian posted that one just a little further up the thread.

We actually discussed this a short while ago, Brian said it looks like a UK Hoover upright, actually it was a UK Electrolux upright.

If you scroll down the thread you will see the Regina full size cleaner, this looks identical to that cleaner, presumably they supplied with with a smaller motor with no fan

eurekaprince · May 4, 2012

Thanks for this clarification Al!

Actually, I think the Regina power nozzle DOES include a fan. It's basically the same motor and brush unit as the yellow Regina upright, minus the bag and handle. To use Tacony's terminology, the power nozzle creates a "tandem air system" when attached to the wand and hose of Regina's canister vac....if I remember correctly. Can anyone confirm this?

I know this is for Ebay, but.....

I just HAD to post this here! I found a Kirby 510 in the Belleville, Ontario area for only $30 dollars! Although it has no hose & attachments, the upright itself looks mint. Only problem is the guy wants it picked up locally....

Fred, I hope you don't mind me posting this Kijiji find.
