The round stainless steel barrel-type Electrolux commercial, model CB, went on sale sometime in 1966 after the CA was discontinued. Charles wrote a nice history on the commercials in an Electrolux newsletter over 10 years ago.

I am surprised it did not have an outlet for a power nozzle since it had been in existence for 7 years by the time the CB was introduced. All the CA's had an outlet for one. This may make it a very early CB or maybe a special machine made for a client's specific needs.

The early ones will be the model G's pale blue. I've even seen the entire machine painted pale blue instead of the polished stainless barrel.

I agree, $50 is steep for this machine, unless it was used by a little old lady to sweep her throw rugs once a week. Most were flogged with an inch of their lives in a commercial setting.

If it was a CW or a CBW I dont believe they had power nozzle connections as they were made as a wet pick up machine. Both are very hard to find as there wasnt alot sold (at least up here)
