The underbelly. I am assuming there was a sale on gray wrinkle paint the day this unit was painted..... This machine had been in storage inside a Golden J Electrolux factory box. I'm keeping the box..... ![]() |

This machine is for sale. I'm asking $350.00 Well worth the price. The cordwinder alone is worth that. Enjoy, Rick |

It looks like something that was salvaged from the Titanic! Still, there are restorers who love a real challenge. |

![]() off you're meds again, so I can only surmise that all VCCC members now know that to be true. I can't help but think that this is somehow "universally" connected to a certain hair malfunction in the not too distant past. [Those curlers were wound tighter than I thought]. Then, to make Terry the culprit, when all he ever tries to do are good deeds for everyone he knows, I'm sure that he will be crushed that you are trying to profit from his heartfelt gift to you. By the way, does it come with a fitting cord to wind on that cute little halo? Let me know!

![]() How am I supposed to write a check for a dream machine if I don't know that the custom cord winder even works?! I mean the last time I went blindly into a dream machine, a SEARS 1963 UPRIGHT, I was absolutely damp with excitement! Well, to my dismay and utter disappointment, what arrived at my doorstep was some vacuum cleaner that was obviously a bojack job from some little dealer that had a name of Universal on it. How original is that?!! It sure was a pretty blue color and even had a very nice matching attachment set, but it sure wasn't the SEARS 1963 UPRIGHT that I was led to believe and lusted after. So, hopefully you'll understand my concern that this rare Electrolux XXX functions as it should. I think that is not asking too much. Afterall, if I'm willing to pay for it, I would like to know how well the XXX functions.
Thank You in Advance,
Silverlux |

I've never seen an XXX with a cord halo. It would have to have been juryrigged to fit onto the back of an XXX, so I have a feeling this was a "Home Tinkerer's Special."

![]() I must say, you always seem to land on your feet!!........How nice for you......I'm sure that Terry will be thrilled as well, since he originally gifted that specimen to you, I'm sure that you're planning to split the winnings with him. How simply generous of you!! As for me, well there will be another one of those coming down the pike...I am a patient person, afterall.
Thanks for your correspondence!

P.S.- - - -My computer guru was able to get into your paypal account and find out who the lucky buyer was.......It seems as though it was sold to a party known as H. Keller..........and that's the rest of the story! |
