The LX
The LX is my favorite. The suction is really strong and the self ejecting feature is great.Plus they are real easy to work on!

Was killing some time and started reading the Consumer Reports scans from the home page. There are 3 Vacuum Cleaner issues from 1951, 1954 and 1959. They are fascinating when one is familiar with the actual vacuums surveyed <br
here's the blurb on the LX:

And the 1954 price and features comparison to the Westinghouse T-6 and Filtex 19-A, all of which I have examples of:
Dear Mr. Crevicetool...
Rick <br
Again, I'm amazed at the immaculate condition of your Lux C and Gs. Stunning restoration jobs. It's clearly a labor of love. Bravo. <br
By the way, if you ever need to clear any space in your home, feel free to send some of your collection my way. I've got plenty of room. (You can ask Ida why I say that with a big smirk on my face.) <br
Hope to meet you some day <br
Mike aka Ms. Alicia Pears (I rarely use that alias these days.)

Z30 -model Z156
My favoufite old luxes are the models ZA62 and the Z156 or if you like the 'Yellow' trident. I have a mint 62 the only thing missing being the cardboard carton. My Z156 was gifted to me only a few months ago. <br
Z3OSoulbrother; Simon, It has the Z90 550 Watt motor with 30-65 size fans (did the 90/100's have larger fans). The hose is like an 80's but with a bleed valve(shutter type) and integral dusting tool clip. The floor brush and carpet nozzle is identical to the 62's but obviously in off white as are the crevice tool / crevice brush and sprayer which was an optional on this model......oh not to forget; its Luton made <br
I also have the instruction manual......I don't yet have a scanner but if you'd like a photocopy then feel free to email me with your address. <br
Glad to help <br
Regards, Walter.

Hands Down
The Model G. This one is rebuilt from the factory tricked out with a PN-4. Not original, but still fabulous!

I have AE and Olympia. Out of the two I like the AE the best, it's lighter, more quiet than the Olympia, and I like the shape of it better. Both are real workhorses.

My favorite old Electrolux...today.
Wasn't going to start a new thread for it as I won't be working on it for some time and I have a perfectly nice XII on top of Luxious Towers.
This is not a joke. This was on my doorstep when I got home from work today, Sunday. No note, don't know who left it but clearly they think of me.
Hauled it in, put on a cord and...nothing. Took the motor cap off...the brushes are worn off but the springs are still there and the armature turns freely without play - that's hopeful.
Note the fabulously clever handle repair.

It has been nicely recovered in real brown leather over the leatherette which tells me all I need to know about the condition of the leatherette.
The hose is not correct of course but is a blue & gray saran weave that will come in handy. Co-incidentally the screw-in connector I found in that box with the Goblin and Vacuna nozzles two weeks back fits!

Obviously it has sat long time and was maybe found in a damp basement. There's no mold and the cloth bag is still good but rust is lining the bag chamber and skids.
I think it's sweet as is and won't change a thing other than the cosmetics. Whoever recovered it in leather took the trouble to remove and re-rivet the Electro-Lux badge. Thank you for that. The simple door handle hardware is a nice touch so I'll just re-paint it glossy black.
Gave it a quick wash and thus it will sit for the foreseeable future as the doctor has a backed up appointment book...and he got his passport last Thursday, at last.
