Hello Mr Lester. Great vac!! Its nice when you get hold of nice vacs in good condition.
More often than not if I'm givern a vac is normally in poor condition or its one you already have 5 of. Normally they just ant to off load there junk on to you. But every so often something nice turns up... James:o) |

Hi Mr. Lester! I believe that was called the Grand Marqise model of Lux. The Ultralux was very similar but with chrome on top instead of blue and did have a label on the top saying Ultralux. My Grandparents have the Ultralux. Later, Trg |

There is a product you can get called Plastidip that you can use to reseal the hose. You just apply 3 coats on the outside of the hose, making sure the first coat gets worked in well, & it should be restored to as good as new! It is available in most hardware stores, & I would imagine Home Depot or Lowes would have it, but you might have to special-order it in Clear for this particular application.
That's one nice Electrolux you got there....in really nice shape! Who gave you the vacuum? It would be interesting to hear this vacuum's story....looks like it was just stored away & never used.... Rob |

And to muddy the waters even further, there's ALSO a plastic-body Ultralux! Good Grief!! It appears to be virtually identical to the Diplomat. See link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux~137's LINK on eBay |

I found a great thread on the 1521s in the archive. It has some pictures of the blue body model. Enjoy! Nicholas CLICK HERE TO GO TO constellation86's LINK |

Hey, thanks for the box photo. Looks like Electrolux has typos on a lot of their literature -- I've seen it time and time again as "Marquis." |
