This guy. Is incredible - Jeff from Vacuumman.com -


Fully restores Elecrolux's and has been doing so for about 30-33 years - and I think he told me over the phone his Dad has been doing so for about 77 - or maybe that's both of them totaled. Either way - very impressive and cool I'd say.


Anyways, here's my post from my other 1205 "motor replacement" thread -


Jeff from Vacuumman.com IS AN INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUAL!


He COMPLETELY restores Electrolux vacuums of ALL models to literally LIKE NEW condition -and does so for an incredibly price of $150 for a COMPLETE rebuild that includes -

- Replace the cord winder

- New bearings, brushes, and tuning up the motor to like-new condition

- Hammering out *ALL* dents in the body and painting at a shop that specializes in the body paint for Lux canisters (or has a selection for them -at least the 1205 - exact matching turquoise)

- Sand blasting and removing all rust and old paint and repainting fresh coat

- Completely rebuilding and tuning the automatic shut off system and dirt selector

- Replaces ALL wheels, castors, and axels, and hub caps

- Cleans all the rubber and basically REPLACES ANYTHING THAT NEEDS REPLACING!


It's basically the Kirby rebuild program but for Electrolux's - and at an incredible price!


This guy JUST called me back after e-mailing me and told that I can send in my 1205 and he'll COMPLETELY rebuild it, and send it back for FREE and then once I have the cash, I can pay him.

My jaw literally dropped to the floor (almost) - he said he's been doing this for 30-33 years and has never been screwed over, so he's confident in my integrity.


I guess that just goes to show us Lux owners are respectable people, eh?


Seriously, ANYONE looking to get their Lux near as fresh out of the box as possible - this is the man, or God maybe? Haha ;)

I know you are going to be excited to see your 1205 when it is complete. Now you get to have the enjoyment of adding accessories to it. Trust, it's fun.
