My Electrolux S1000 died today after 38 years of hard work. On stripping, I found that the motor is built like a tank. One carbon brush had disintegrated & the other had about 2mm of carbon left.

Brushes New one on the left & the old on the right. I have never seen brushes worn down this much.

Back in service After a test run, I am inclined to believe that this machine will outlast me...

Cool Electrolux
That looks like a variant of the model 310 we had here. Does yours have a blower port in the base? Surely the hose cannot be original? That cleaner would be approximatly 40 years old if it were here.
Now I feel REALLY old - I remember these being on sale. Looks like an Indesit L6 Washer there too ...... Al | ||

S1000 This is an SA made version of the Z310. It has a metal case covered in white vinyl. There is a blower port in the base with a deflector to the rear filter. The hose is original, but the floor brush is a replacement. There is a socket for a power nozzle on top, The washer is a 1979 spin-drain Indesit L8. | ||
