(See Thread No. 36518 for back story...)
I thought about buying the lady's refurbished Electrolux but hesitated -- I already have several Model Es in gorgeous condition, and the fact that this one had been rebuilt, with all the original trim and cord replaced, diminished my interest in it. So I sent her a "no thanks" email.
She wrote back the next day, saying she had found "a big box of stuff" that goes with the Electrolux. That certainly stimulated my interest so I said she could bring it over.

Funny, it hadn't occurred to me to compare the serial numbers on the sales receipt and on the machine. Per Rugsucker's question, I just did so ... they do not match!!!
I'll never know what happened; I could work myself into a frenzy wondering. But it's not that important in the grand scheme of things. I'm just happy to have this lovely Electrolux; happy it survived all these years. |

Absolutely wonderful find Charles and with great provenance. As Jimmy mentioned, perfect size, weight, power and conversion to take a power nozzle. Just beautiful!
It would be nice if Aerus reintroduced a retro model of this for a current, "B", line to compliment the contemporary models. Great story and pics. |
