If someone has Electrolux owner's manuals from around that era (Diamond J, Hi-Tech 2100, L-E, Marquise, Grand Marquise...) that might shed some vacuum cleaner headlight on the issue. |

The B-10 was the same as the current Floor Pro . The machines have changed color to match the current line up. Quality product. |

Great thread! I know that Electrolux also made floor polishers around the time they introduced the model V which was about 1924, but I don't have a history of these. I have 2 the B-8, and the Epic Floor-pro pictured in reply 12. As I have the hard floors treated with polyurethane, they don't need to be polished, but I've got both ready to display. Here's a look of the set-up in 1994.

What color schemes did the 2101 have? I can't tell what color the machine in #34 is. I'm guessing there was a jade and a taupe like the L-Es and a blue like the Ultralux, Ambassador/1623, Model 90/1623, and Diplomat/2100? |

You are right. In October of 1979 that was a starter prize when O-1 was introduced. |

John, So you're saying that the Olympia One was introduced in October 1979? I always thought it was 1978. |

Had an Aunt that had a model B7 but she never used it!. She collected everyone cast offs from her mother-in-law and sister-in-laws. She had an old Electrolux tank that would shut off when the bag was full. She would let me help with vacuuming the floor and living room furniture. |

It was like the B7 it never came with a shampoo tank. I was just for waxing and polishing floors. The can of wax would have a plastic tube that would run down between the main body and the bumper. The handle on mine doesn't even have the screw holes for the plastic supports for the tank.
The B7 would have had the two speed switch where the cord comes out on my B8. Is this like the commercial? Wow I could of had a B8 !!! |
