If you can't find the rest of the tools, maybe you could sue the estate. Thank goodness you found that much of it. Can't wait to see the washer!

My smelling salts! Yay Robert!! I am pretty sure that that is a verrrry rare machine. You must go back and see if you can find the attachments and power head. There is a story about the Lewyt Electronic. The wiring was screwy and it caused so many problems, that it was what put the company out of business <br

Nice find
Nice find Robert, those old Lewyts are very rare machines. Nice to finally see one of the (in)famous Electronic models too.
I hope you are able to find the rest of the parts
What kind of washer did you find?

Not only a window but the atomic symbol on the dial. I had my first play with one last month when Dave brought his over. I was really surprised at how small it is compared to seeing only photos before, even your photo's make it look bigger than real life. And it really follows you round with no drag.
Do it with Lewyt

What a WONDERFUL find!! The machine is just FABULOUS and extremely rare!! When you go back for the washer, exercise due diligence in trying to locate the power head. That will be the most difficult piece of the puzzle inasmuch as obtaining matching tools will be much easier. I have my fingers crossed for you <br
Fred is right about the bum wiring on the power nozzle. Lots of folks got the shock of their lives using those things <br

Wow! what an awesome find. Enjoy, it is a rare machine.
I remember looking at the magazine adv. back in the da
and wondering how those beater brushes worked? Had seen
a few machines and used a one or two. Always liked the
power they had and the carpet nozzle.

I seem to remember
Someone saying that the power nozzle was DC wired through the windings of the motor and that is what caused the problems. Definitely gave a few people some shocks!
