If it were me, there would be no hanging around. If I had the money, I'd buy it within seconds, haha!
Then I'd think of where I could store it when I got home. But I can't resist any Vacuum Cleaner, so perhaps it is just me! There are two possible reasons for the light not working. 1) The wiring to the bulbs has a flaw in it 2) Simply the power bulb is fused I'm not sure exactly how to change it, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult. What wattage of motor is it ? My '82 502S has a 500 watt motor, and it is very smooth and quiet for its age. Plus it has a lot of suction too! Electrolux are second to HOOVER in making things that last! |

What a great find and a fabulous deal for only $20! Congratulation!
The other tools for this machine should be easy to find online or on ebay, and since they are a standard size, you can mix and match your favorite tools to suite your cleaning needs. I bought a like new Aerus Classic for my bf about 6 months ago and its a wonderful machine. It has the same motor as your machine does, and it cleans nicely, along with being less heavy than any other plastic bodied Luxe I own. They are easy to move around and if you should have to clean anything up high, its light enough to pick it up while standing on a step stool to reach any cob webs or ceiling fans. I've being using Electrolux tanks for most of my life, and while I no longer use them as my primary machine, I have never had a problem with the bag size. It is small but they arent expensive so I've always just tossed the bag if I noticed significant suction loss. The Perfect PowerTeam Canister HEPA bags work amazing in these machines and are certainly worth the price. You really can clean for a lot longer without noticing a decrease in airflow. Ive noticed they seem to control any dirt odor better and they have superior filtration to Lux paper bags. Good luck with your new machine! |

I use & own Electrolux vacs my whole lifetime; but I love the Model L! :) My Ambassador sees little use; but I use it strictly for carpeted rooms. |
