Here is most of it, minus the Hoovers plus the XXX. Forgot to mention I also got a working Kirby (516?) without the head part.

This one works great, as does the E-lux 1205.

Got another hose today as well. The hoses I have only seem to fit the 1205 because of two little prong things at the end, ?

The Kirby; works good, but dirty, and needs some parts...

The E-lux G :). This was so much more quieter than expected! I love it! Now to find a hose and attachments... Oh, and for the record, all of these have yet to be cleaned up...only had time to quickly take some pics. (and maybe try one or two out!)

The E-lux 1205; in good shape. Smooth (instead of textured) paint, so an earlier model?

The Hoover Convertibles. I'll be picking up another tomorrow. I take back what I said before, I thought 2 of these worked, they dont. But they're all eithe missing cords or have the cord cut, so that could be why.

Nick You are correct that 1205 is an earlier model! I sent you an e-mail. I have a ton of PN-1 parts, hoses, etc. that I can give you to help restore those Luxes to like new! Congrats on your finds! | ||

Hi Nick yes the rainbow does use water and some of them are known for their motors going out. I like those E luxes Great find Mike | ||

Nice haul, Nick!
Looks like you got somem nice vintage machines there. The Lux G looks like it was repainted somewhere along the line with a metallic paint instead of the usual turquoise. The Convertibles will look great once you get them cleaned up, and I understand the lavender one is somewhat rare. Thanks for sharing the pix. Jeff | ||
