Certainly not rare in the Uk, this model ran from 1971 until the mid 1990s with only a few modifications during its life. They are good cleaners and for R25 i would have said very well worth it. The only question is whether you can get the paper bags, filters and brushroll belts for it - even here in the UK they are getting rare, although they do crop up on ebay.
Were there many Electrolux cleaners sold in SA during this period? I do have a Hoover U4006 which would be of similar vintage - i am told Hoover shipped the parts out and assembled in SA to get around the trade sanctions in force at that time. Could it have been teh same with Electrolux? Al |
