I have a Model E that was refurbished by Metropolitan. It has a polished front cover and a Metropolitan cord halo in matching hammertone blue. Why they didn't use a Lux halo, well who knows? I really like the way the E looks with boths ends polished. |

Excellent job Charles! My grandmother had a Model E, that had been fitted with a PN socket down at the right hand side, just like a Model G,,,it also had the hammertone hose coupler. After Grandma got wall to wall carpet, Lux salesman fitted her Model E with the PN socket, and sold her a PN1, and cord plus straps for the hose sometime in the late 60s. Its the first vacuum i can remember being totally facinated with, and holds great sentimental value,,,of course Grandma gave me the vacuum many years later, in perfect condition with the practically new PN,,,and i stupidly gave it away to a friend. DARN IT! Oh well, at least looking at yours brings back good memories. Ive never seen another Model E retro fitted with a PN socket tho,,,wish i would have kept it! The one down side i remember about the Model E was that it tipped over easily when pulled, but i'll always remember how much fun it was to use and that undeniably "Electrolux" sounding motor! |

Beautiful job on the cover Charles. I'd like to see how you did it. I should polish the ends on my G's. Nicholas |
