Colors So, the first Hi-Tech 2100 was sand/jade instead of oyster/blue? I've never seen one like that - thanks for teaching me something new! Do you have a photo of one in those colors? Every Hi-Tech I've seen has had a blue top, and I think the blue was lightened and brightened at some point to better match the Ultralux/Epic shade of blue. | ||

In 16 years of doing this, I have never seen one of these sandstone and jade models. I would also love to see a picture of it. The Diamond J started in 1987, not 1984. In 1984, the Sliverado was still in full force until they changed it in 1985 to the Silverado Deluxe which had a PN5 rather than the silver PN4.

Talking to an electrolux dealer he claims the first 2100 was Black and Grey. I have had one before. | ||

I just got one recently too...
Mine is a special edition model. Inside the bag door it says it's a High Tech 2100 Colors are burgundy/sandstone I guess. Don't have pic yet, waitin til I get her thru the spa treatment. Also need to find a new hose for it as the one with it is the original & leaks as do most of that age. Anyone know where mine falls in the lineup & what the year of manufacture might have been?

I hope the new motor sounds like a "true" Electrolux & not like a Shark or other Chinese-made vac? btw, what is that tube for? The "tube" that comes with the motor CLICK HERE TO GO TO floor-a-matic's LINK | ||

That is a Peanut motor. It is loud and whiny and not the best motor ever. The tube extends the bag housing so it can be used in certain models with the shorter housing.
We normally use a nice two stage motor that we drill out to put in those machines. Much better noise level and better suction. Longevity is better | ||

Is the 2-stage motor a Ametek/Lamb & which one is it? | ||

Actually the colour of the first 2100 was called Jadestone (midnight blue) and grey. It was out in Canada at the same time as the last of the Siverados were out in the US and came with the PN5. The later version came with the PN6 then they changed the colours to Tuape (Brown) and grey (aka the system 90) and also brought out the maroon and grey special edition as a mall show promo item.

Incidentally the 2100 WAS the delux model in Canada. They tried selling the Grand Marquis and Legacy in Canada and they bombed. People here found them too heavy and clumsy. Hence the return to the Diplomat models. I was selling machines part time at that time and sold a couple dozen of the Ambassador models and only 1 Legacy - which the lady traded in 2 years later.

Hey Andre:
Just as an FYI. That brochure is way out on some of the dates and is missing about half the models. When it was put out I was asked about using my collection for the pictures but someone in the US overruled the Canadian office and put that abortion together. The guys in head office here were furious but they had no controll over it. Doug PS: I can post a listing of the actual models and dates if you like. | ||

Brochure Hey Doug, the brochure goes back in 1995. the only purpose was to show the Electrolux 2100. I have a more recent brochure dated in 2000. Is yours more recent ? | ||

The only difference being that the E was sold with the Canadian parts as the dual parts were considered to be "cheap" and only sold with the drop down model 54. Doug | ||
