Hi Dan:
Ok - would never have looked there as I dont use any of the other forums. Wish he would have let me know. (If you read this Fred please just delete it as I cant - its useless to me there) Thanks. Anyway - the purpose of this, if I can ever get my thoughts organized enough, is to see if anyone there needs any parts for the old Canadian machines or perhaps would like to trade for one of them. I still have several 80 series extra including a nice 86 with bumpers that I could bring with me. Doug |

Hi Alex:
The 86 is the red and white model. I also have several green 89's but have to work on them yet. I'm just heading out at the moment but I'll take a picture of the 86 later this evening and post it. Lewyt immediately caught my attention - what model is it? I have the 77,88,90,97, 105, 111 and 120 but am still looking for the rest or parts for them. Also looking for some of the older US eluxes like the R and white,tan and gold L's (and a few others I cant think of off the top of my head). Talk to you soon Doug |

Hi Alex:
sure - I'd like to see it. As you can see the 86 isnt perfect either. The body has a number of small dings in it (the most noticable one being where the body shape changes to the left of the handle in the picture. The parts have some scrapes but are all complete and the handle on the hose has been replaced with a lime one instead of the original cream. It runs well but it probably wouldnt hurt to replace the bearing as there is a bit of noise as it slows down. The hose also leaks a bit as suction at the machine is 60 but at the hose end is 45. I may have a newer replacement hose though if you dont want it original. I would have to look. Doug |

Hey Fred:
I was interupted 4 times trying to do the posting too or it would have had the vacuum on it to start with. As you can see my thought process was not exactly totally together at the start and every time I tried to fix it I was again interupted. If you had checked first I would have explained it. If I could have Edited the posts here it would have had one post not three to begin with too but I ended up posting every time I was interrupted then realizing I hadnt finished explaining. The title, had I been able to correct it was surposed to be Anyone in the Seattle Area want to trade? and I screwed that up both times. So yes I am not having a very good day. Doug |

Check out the post I'm making tonight about the Vac Shop in the Georgetown District of Seattle. I live about 25 miles no. of Seattle, and I'm in town during that time. I'll send you my phone number offline if you want to call. |

That 89 is really nice looking too! I don't have any Electroluxes, but if you're interested I have a Miele S5 Canister I could trade you for it also. Here is a picture of the Lewyt. |

Just give me a heads up on when you're coming and we could meet for lunch or something. My shop is not very big because it is basically my house's garage converted to a 3 car mechanic's shop but we can meet there if you want. Just give me a call or email. Preferably a phone call because my email is always getting left to accumulate and I never check it.
Call me at (425)516-3691 |
