I have an old 1205 that actually looks worse than yours did in the first pic. What did you do to shine it up so well and really make it pop? I see the windex and wd40 in the background of the photos, but is that all you used on it? Just curious! Really nice collection though, I have a big soft spot for older Electrolux Vacuum Cleaners!

Excellent restore on all of them. I'm all HOOVER, but, I appreciate your skills there. I have a cousin named Tristan, not vey common, like John, lolol.
Do try to become a full member. I think you need a nice gold Anniversary floor polisher, and I'm selling one. It's a "LUX", currently a "Cellar Dweller"... came out of a convent! Long story...... John. |

I love your lux collection! Especially your model E, XXX(30), and Silverado! They look great. Nice work! I like your Eureka's as well. Do you know what year the brown Eureka upright is? Thanks Daniel :-) |

Hi Tristan,
Wow, I'm overwhelmed with you restore them back to what they should be so well!! I love using Windex on mine. Anything not connected to a wire and I can separate from the machine, I put to soak in my laundry tub usually with some multi purpose disinfecting cleaner. Have not tried Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, I should. I've used Soft Scrub,scrub brush and aggressive sponges and although it takes out the scuff marks, I find a couple of spots where I rubbed too hard. Definitely find yourself a Hoover. If you have luck at your Good Will with Electrolux then surely there must be some Hoovers coming in-- hopefully good ones, not a bagless or el cheapo model. I have a couple of Hoovers but no vintage. Really excited and looking forward to landing myself a Celebrity or Guardsman power head canister and Decade 800 upright. Welcome aboard!! I'm not a full paying member yet, but John, the "King of Hoover" could probably help you out. |

Tristan! Welcome to the nicest gang of cleaner-philes in the world!
Love your "Steve and Eydie" team of matching brown Eurekas! I love it when collectors get a matching duo of Eurekas..... Your Electrolux line-up is indeed beautiful - now all you need is some Canadian Electroluxes made in my hometown of Montreal....anyone want to donate a nice red 88 Lux-0-Matic as a welcome gift to our new friend from Nashville? Wish I could, but alas, I only have room for my Electrolux UltraSilencer Green and my Hoover Tempo....*sigh* Eurekaprince Brian :-) |

You have a great looking Silverado too! I wish my Silverado looked that good, it's actually rather shabby looking, but it's my daily driver and runs like a champ! I recently acquired another Silverado in really good shape, but I've not had a chance to bring it home yet, or even really check it out good! I love these old machines though!

Nice collection you have there, and excellent work you have done restoring them! I love Luxes too, and have 6 of them in my collection, including 2 XII's, 2 XXX's, an AE, and a G.
I'm sure you will find other machines you want, including a Hoover or two (or three or four). Vacuums have been known to multiply like rabbits once you start collecting. The model 28 Hoover is one that all collectors should have. Here's mine. Jeff |
