It sounds very much like this is a variation of the European Electrolux 345 model.
I believe that Viking was one of several names used by Electrolux for their sewing machines and it is perfectly possible that they "badged" some of their machines for sale alongside them, rather in teh manner of Singer. A picture would be very useful but is this cleaner a sort of mid brown colour? Spares for this cleaner in 110V would be pretty rare, if available at all, although variations are known to have been sold under the Volta and Dometic names, particularly in Canada. As I say a picture will be a great help as other members may be able to give more information Al |

Hi! Does it look familiar? This is my Volta U241. Made by Electrolux Sweden in 1981. I just think because there is the same model number. Best Regards Markus CLICK HERE TO GO TO markus79's LINK |

it's exactly like mine! I wish I had the powerhead and electric hose with the unusual pigtail cord. Could you show us a pic of the underneath of the powerhead...and a picture of how that electric hose fits into the suction end of the vacuum.
Is there some label or tag on the powerhead indicating where it was made? Guy |
