I just ran across this eBay listing for a "restored" Electrolux canister. It's described as an "Olympia" but if the top plastics are still their correct color, it's more likely a Silverado. I'm questioning the color and the model because the whole thing, including the PN-4 and the combo floor brush, have been painted the most hideous shade of bright, metallic "electric leprechaun" green! Don't get me wrong, the guy (I'm assuming it's a guy) appears to have given it a really nice quality paint job, but the color just makes the whole thing look beyond bojack. I guess he was trying to go for something resembling a 1205 color scheme but what he ended up with is just too garish and he painted a few things he shouldn't have, like the power switch and the rear wheels. That'll just end up looking like hell very quickly. One thing's for sure, there's no way I'd pay his asking price for that monstrosity.
