Finished my third rebuild while on vacation. This Silverado was a diamond in the rough. COULD NOT BELIEVE the condition of the canister and trim and after I spent a few months taking completely apart and cleaning and rebuilding it is near to new! The PN5 was really in bad shape though and obviously had been stored in a wet location seperate from the tank, and was a total loss except for the top, due to RUST and abuse. After the top went through the "tough scrub" and "sanitize" cycle in the dishwasher to my suprise the plastic shield over the top decal peeled off leaving a nice original top with a few marks. I wanted to keep the original look. The SUCTION ON THIS SILVERADO IS AMAZING! Outperforms any vacuum I have ever even used! So happy how it turned out!

Rebuilding PN5
Had to find all new screws and sand and prime and paint the brushroll hold down brackets because I could not find new ones anywhere. It took months to locate and gather parts for rebuilding my three Electrolux vacuums. Almost seven months. PN5 (that's what I call him :) got a whole new base, motor, elbow, elbow cover, brushroll, belt, cord, and all new stainless screws.

Hi suckolux
I actually have another Silverado with a PN4A that I purchased from a really nice guy that did a rebuild and repaint on. I'll have to post those pics too. It is not the original exact match color but I liked the bronzy gray color. I had an Eldorado years ago that was called Sheffield Gray Metallic and it looked a different shade of gray dpending on the light. This Silverado struck me the minute I saw it and I had to have it. I'll post tomorrow. :)Tyler

My Silverado is kinda beat up too. I gave it to my mom when I got a new Diamond Jubilee. She beat that poor thing to death. So I am going to have to rebuild it too... Will try to post pictures when done. Those silverados are work horses though.My step father even melted the inside of the bag compartment.... | ||

my uncle used to have a silverado, traded it in for a lux lrgacy or diplomat style and i wish he had told me, i was mad at im when he got rid of it but didnt tell him, those electroluxes will outlive and outperform practically any modern machine with a new hose, brushroll, belt and hepa bags | ||
