I think this is a case of someone who thinks mom's old vacuum is worth a fortune due to it's being old. I sent the seller an email telling them that it's just not worth that much money. It's not in it's original box, lacks it's original paper work... and oh, yeah... it has a broken wheel. I bet I get a reply like 'You don't know what your talking about, it's a vintage Electro-something. It's worth like, $5,000 and I'm selling for nothing."
Oh, some people's children. Justin |

That's a Model F -- originally grey and white. You can tell by the way the "stabilizing feet" around the front caster are metal, integrated into the motor housing, and are folded downward rather than being horizontal. The cover is original to the machine.
The cord winder is not original, however. It's from a Model E or early E-Automatic. During the run of the E-A, the cord winder design was changed slightly -- an aluminum band approx. 5/8" wide was added around the circumference of the cord winder. It was decorative as well as functional -- this version is much easier to put back together than the earlier one. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Electrolux137's LINK |

"Never been used"--Then why does it have 3 broken wheels? |
