The Mustard Seed of Fort Pierce does it again! I found this model 1453 with electric hose, telescoping wand, and power head without a price. I took it to the counter and told the woman it was not marked. "$25.00" she says. "Sold!" She said "There is an Electrolux dealer down the road." I said "They don't have anything this old do they?" "Yes they do." Then she said "This thing will probably run like an iron horse." I said I am in a collector club. "What do they do, buy, sell?" "Yes, and tell vacuum stories. It's on the internet." Hmmm... Got home fast as I could and tried it out, without the head. Runs like a champ, but the damn plastic hand grip split. I have never seen such a new bottom line model before. Is this a prize or a clinker? It is mostly metal.

I'd try fixing it first with a toothpick and some Crazy Glue. The toothpick or something even thinner to make sure the glue gets down in that crack. | ||

She used to live next door, she has actually known me since September of '04, and she is used to all my peculiarities. She had to clear my living areas of the house before I came home from hospital/rehab from a car accident in June '06. She is the one that told me about Kyle in Michigan on Megan Mulally.

The handle part is easy to replace if you can find a leaky hose with a good handle. Mark | ||

Bah with a crack that small you can just whack some super glue in there and it'll be solid as a rock, Alan. :] | ||

OHMIGAWD!!! We do have the same carpet! I always refer to it as dried ketchup color but at least its more tolerable than the fried egg yellow version that carpeted the kitchen & bathroom wall to wall...yes, the entire kitchen floor...when I bought the house 21 years ago. First things to go... and oh yeah, Alan, I successfully got the woven gray hose off the GE Roll-Easy ends and now mine has a truly vibrant turquoise hose!!! Posting pictures over the weekend...
