My friend Doug Smith, from Canada, together with his friend Brad, drove three days to the vacuum cleaner Museum in St. James, Missouri, to bring me these Canadian vacuums. For Canadian Electrolux models and one Ford vacuum cleaner. The Ford was made in Holland. Doug is returning to Canada with a Rexair series a, a Rexair model b, complete with hose and attachments, a Kirby diamond edition, and an electronic Panasonic jet flo. Some of these machines were donated to the museum and sent along with Doug, by Dave Bychkowsky. Many thanks to Dave, Doug, and the exceptionally handsome Brad. Canadians are wonderful people.

Aerus should reopen a vacuum manufacturing facility in Canada.

I like that sunshine yellow canister with its matching Power Nozzle (PN-2?). If I were to ever repaint my Super J a different color (not that I'm actually contemplating doing that), I think that would be one I'd consider using, but I would definitely not paint my PN-2 to match it.

Hey Edgar

That's a model AP200 with a PN200 power nozzle.

Random fact (I'm sure most of you know this, but for anyone who doesn't...), the AP series Electrolux models in Canada (the beige, gold, and brown models pictured that look convincingly like the Super J and Olympia One) are the foundation of the current Aerus Legacy and Classic models. The AP100 debuted in 1974, so really, the Legacy and Classic bodies were first built 41 years ago and have remained largely unchanged ever since.

 

In 1982, Electrolux of Canada restyled the AP series, changing out the bumpers, wheels, bag door, rear cover, and entire "roof" cover. The resulting model was the 1982 model E-2000, which was 2-toned beige. Two years later, it was recolored Light Sand/Jade to match the Diamond Jubilee and was made in the US, called the Hi-Tech 2100--a model that we all know well.

 

If you find pictures of an AP-series Canadian Electrolux on Ebay, take a look at the bottom of the machines. They have the same "pontoon" stabilizers and rotating front wheel that are still part of the Legacy and Classic today. Many Americans think that the Legacy/Classic only date back to the 1984 2100, but really they date back to the 1974 AP-100 (which of course was intended to be a plastic version of the metal-body 1205 from 1968).

Quit right Dave, except the first version of the AP100 came out in 1973. You can see both styles on my page.smithcollection.altervista.org/el...
