Here are my two latest acquisitions.

The Electrolux model XXX came from a garage sale.  It needed to be cleaned up, a few of the tools renovated and a new hose.  It appears to have had very light use.

The LX was found on eBay.  It too has seen very little use.  It was very dusty and poorly packed when it arrived.

Spa treatment, a hose, tools and wands have made it a prize.

Have been using them as daily drivers.

She is not doing very well these days.  May be just a matter of time for her as she doesn't want to eat, sleeps a lot and not very active. 

BUT she still comes running when she hears the sound of either of my Luxes.

Such a pretty machine.

Grew up with the XXX, but a few relatives had this model.

Maybe I'll bring these to the convention?????????????  What do you think?

Those are beautiful. Are those replacement hoses, They look really good if they are. I have a whole bunch of pre 45 luxes that I am busy resorting and I am faced with a difficult choice, Put replacement hoses on so I can use them or leave the origional ones on which look lovely but the rubber inside is perished.

I also wonder if I can replace the rubber on the inside somehow  

I have a Model XXX, and a full set of tools for it thanks to Tania.  Those hoses look like the hoses that came with the Kirby Heritage/Heritage II machines, but with Electrolux ends.

came from my local repair shop.   He uses them for all replacements.

Have the same thing on my Compact.

Thank you for the tip I never thought of using Plasti dip on the inside of the hoses.

Sorry a bit off the topic here 

I am having a clear plasti dip sprayed on the front of my car soon as a stone chip deterrent. It is a trully awesome product.

Did you guys know its available in a spray can now too
