The best part however!!!! Is the salesman's bag that the vacuum was carried around in. Electrolux guru's, please help me out on this, you may be able to share more about the bag! One side of the bag has a cut away photo showing the "works", the belt, fans, motors, etc.

My Lux Upright
Bought new in the box on Ebay. This one was the very first. I am posting here because Morgan just sent me the attachment converter and hose. It is not original to the machine but works like a charm. This one is special because it came out at the same time as the Lux Super J which I bought new. What a fabulous machine. The attachments went with the upright that was out at the time of the Silverado, but works. Morgan also sent me bags which you cannot get any more.

The Expensive Hose Hanger
Indeed, Charles, that is a very expensive exercise machine. One of a few that I had set up in an exercise room in California. If you can believe it, (and I am sure you can) I had a personal trainer come to the house when I lived in LA. All of that went out the window when I moved back to the Midwest. Charlie Watrous, Terry Lattz and Jeff Parker moved the room around and got rid of the treadmill and free weights. Of course, I didn't argue!

Charles
In the overall scheme of things, for the time it was manufactured, it really wasn't that bad. No worse than the Kirby setup - probably better. And good suction. The vacuum itself for rug cleaning was pretty bulky, but it was Electrolux's first attempt at an upright. I haven't had any experience with the later ones, but not a bad first attempt. Fred | ||
