Tool end of the hose This has seen some wear, eh? Looks like it broke and someone merrily carried on, using the broken-off end as a nozzle of sorts.

I found one of these CBs at a church garage sale one time for 20 dollars ,only it had a brown top, so im assuming it was made at the same time as the Electrolux Olympia, around 1980. It was pretty well beat up. Had been used in the church basement, and to clean the church, evidently.
It did come with a worn out silver PN(the same PN that came with the Super Js), and with a long hose, and PN wire wrapped around it. The socket for the PN on the CB itself had pulled out of the machine. The machine was rusty and dusty inside,,and the suction was very low,even after cleaning the filter and cleaning up the machine. Evidently alot of people assumed these machined were for wet pick up, since it resembled a wet/dry vac. Was very disapointed in the suction, it was pityful for such an impressive looking machine. Gave it to a friend that has a large shop/garage for working on cars, ect. | ||

Hi Guys:
A little bit about the CB's Although I dont have an exact time line this is the order in which they appeared and some of the unique features. CB - light blue top and tank to match model G - PN 1 but with 3 prong standard plug and metal wands instead of the plastic. CB - brownish tan top and tank to match L - PN1 but with 3 prong standard plug and metal wands instead of the plastic. CB - blue top and chrome tank to match 1205 and L - early versions PN1 then PN2 with 3 prong standard plug. (your machine) - later version with PN2 then PN4 with three round pin plug CB - brown top and chrome tanks to match olympia - PN4 with three round pins on plug. I cant say for certain in the US but in Canada the machines came with the hose wands and wide floor brush. The PN or a wide rug nozzle as well as the matching comb brush and crevice tool were optional equipment. I do have the exploded view of the machine from the service book somewhere if I can find it.

It really isn't heavy, just awkward to pack and especially take up or down stairs. | ||

I used to have a vacuum similar to that-buit sold it to another VCCC member-I did try it with the Shop Vac bags-beleive the 5Gal size would fit inside the tank over the tank inlet.Makes less of a mess in dumping and keeps the motor filter cleaner. | ||

 Those were great vacuums. I used one for years and years while I cleaned the bank I worked for at the time. Prior to us buying it, it was used at St. Patricks catholic church in town.
We had a wonderful wool carpet that was in the lobby of bank. We added a new power nozzle and the machine had to have the bearings replaced once along with the carbon brushes.
It had plenty of air flow and did not loose air flow. I always used the paper filters along with the cloth filter.
Later Centenary United Methodist Church purchased a new model. It was had a plastic tank, the newer power nozzle and to my knowledge they are still using it to this day. It would have been purchased in the mid 90's and was cheaper than any of the household models.
I would love to find one in perfect shape for St. Luke's

Updates! Well today I went to the local Electrolux dealer and surprisingly the guy knew what I was talking about and actually agreed to try and hunt down the parts I need. We'll see where this goes! | ||

Re Lux CA.. I can testify to the fact that the CA has WAY more power than a G, I have seen the one John Young "ELUXA" owns and it is much more powerful than a G, more in line with a Silverado. | ||

Cbb
Some info on the CB . Have been using one in my VacShop for the Last 20 or so years.
The CB with the Blue top used the same motor as a Model L. ( Four Screw Motor Mounting Ring.) Armature is the same as 1205. When Electrolux upgraded to the Super J Motor, The larger motor was installed in the CB also. | ||

Model CB Dust Bag and filter
I have had used a dacron Never clog filter underneath the regular CB cloth filter which works quite well. I also have found that the Mastercraft Paper Bag #4464 Fits on the neck inside the stainless steel drum. It is a large bag and I only have to dump it every couple of months . The CB is used daily in my Vacuum Store at my work bench.
