A Good Day to Everyone in Vacuumland,

I have a minor collection of vintage Electrolux vacuums.  Looking for a pristine Model G (either color) and a Model AF.  I know, who isn't.  The attachments and hoses are not important to me, just the vacuum. 

My collections currently consists of  two XXX's, an LX (purchased from the original owner.  Came with instruction manual and the orginal sales receipt), Model AE, and my Olympia (which I purchased brand new).  The Olympia, IMHO, was the last of the great Electrolux vacuums.  It seems after that model, the quality declined.  My Olympia is still in excellent condition, although I no longer use it as my daily driver.  That responsibility now belongs to my Miele Champagne.  A superior machine in everyway.

If anyone out there happens to see a great Model G or Model AF, let me know.

Stay well and happy collecting,

Richard

Given their popularity among vacuum collectors, if a model G in pristine condition shows up on ebay be prepared for a bidding war.  There are still a few likely to be found hidden away in some grandma's closets so never miss an opportunity to rack up some good karma and stay on good terms with your vacuum fairy godmother/father!  Some pretty rare and wonderful vacuums still show up in estate sales or even on craigslist here so I stay tuned into those sources as much as I'm able.  Or, as many of us poor mortal vacuum nuts have to do is set our sights a little lower and take a machine in relatively good, if well-used condition and then keep a lookout for bits and pieces and a parts-donor machine or two, and spend some time and effort to bring it back to lustrous condition.  I had a model G back in the 80's which was in excellent condition but I gave it to a friend in-need.  Hopefully another one will come my way someday.
