Hello all, I'm back! Here's my last purchase, a marvellous electrolux mod Z 65, from the Sixties. I'ts very interesting to see the wide use of plastic, look at the hose and and at the telescopic wand! However it's in perfect condition and it was a great deal, about 10 € on ebay, thing that makes the cleaner even better!!! It's extremely quiet and powerful and I love the color combination! Take care all, Tommy |

I found one of these once in a ditch down a country lane (LOL) was useless mind, no hose and no detatchable cord. lucky find for me though, was a good few years back. |

Hello Tommy Nice vac, what a find, this was one of Electrolux`s best selling models in the 60`s over here, I`m fascinated by the wand, is it painted metal or plastic?? is it a replacement or the original?? the ones here where metal and the motor filter end was all cream not pink...the "Flip-Over" combination "Step Toematic" floor tool is the early design with the smaller lint nozzle, this definatly has that "Electrolux Sound", heres our version, I managed to find this as a complete kit with the Two Way dusting brush, the Crevice Tool , Radiator Brush, Sprayer and the Air Polisher, complete with instructions, Guarantees and spare dustbags...cheers, Mike |

Hi Terry, you are quite right I came to the 2001 convention with only a Kirby Tradition..and of course we came away with our goodies, you came away with your pink GE swivel top and me my Lux XXX, gifts from Robert...AND of course do you remember climbing all those stairs to the top attic at the Estate Sale, and me finding the Sweeper Vac fo £5 dollars...I darnt count how many now..LOl....do you think it was meant to be?? Hi Tommy, this was one of the earlier UK lux`s, the later ones didnt have the extending pole, but we always had the metal tubes and the rubber hose handles...I love the pink filter housing, ours was cream like the rest.. Cheers, Mike |

I think mine is an early one say 1960 one of the first as the serial number ends with 99000 and has the telescopic wand and aluminium back plate.
These machines are brilliant in my opinion and i use mine weekly for what it was made for. I have a scruffy one in the garage as a back up for spares but also an early one. I have noticed though with mine my handle has very fine hair line crack where its riveted to the body but 17 years later doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Your machines look great guys
