It's in great shape, body and motor wise. My next project is to cobble together a replacement hose for all my machines...the ones I have actually work well but I'm afraid to subject them to too much use. |

The hose on my '89 was leaking air so I ended up making a replacement using the newer vinyl/plastic style. Fortunately I have 2 original hoses for my '89 so I didn't mind taking the machine connector end off one of the hoses and attaching it to the new vinyl hose (I purchased this hose on Ebay - it is not an Electrolux replacement but one of the knock offs). It is amazing how much more suction there is now. The new hose doesn't have the trigger nozzle but it does have an on/off switch on the handle for the power nozzle. The hose is also grey rather than green so it doesn't match the machine body. Gary |

Bob that is a great idea, be sure and take a picture of it under the tree when you do. |
