That plastic floor thing, is called a 'tufter.' and was indeed placed on the rug tool. The only drawback is that it prevents the elbow of the tool from moving. That box for the wrappers (bags) is in great condition as is the LX itself, though the cord plug is not original. However, you have a great find. By the way, were the other machines in the photo also part of this find. Have you tested it yet to see how far the wrapper will shoot out the chamber?
Enjoy that great Electrolux, and here's a picture of mine.

Hi 1926700 A lot of us who have an Electrolux LX in our collections also have an Electrolux filter bag filled with cotton balls, toilet paper, or some other non dirt substance to test the ejection process. The LX will toss the bag across the room if filled right. That is the special feature of this machine, and is a lot of fun to see live on our own carpets. So grab a spare bag, fill it (by feeding the above mentioned material) and watch it 'pop,' as Electrolux termed it. You can also test the ejection process by pressing the lever on the left underside of the machine. Open the front cover, keeping your hands free of the ejector if there is no bag in place, and be prepared for a loud bang. If the ejection system works right it will throw the bag across the room. | ||

I would rather grab.... A Eureka Empress II, or a Celebrity II. The only thin carpet, that is thin enough to use a straight suction rug nozzle on that I have, Is what is in the pic, that is my dinning room carpet. | ||
