Swiveling the nozzle to bring the air-flow concentrator into play (useful for picking up thread, lint, etc.).

Using the air-flow concentrator side. Note how the bottom side is the same, as I said, as the late XXX and early LX nozzles.

Gleaner Hey Charlie I've tried using the gleaner but it always sounds like it is shredding the carpet. I also have a hard time moving it across the rug. Is this how it is suppose to work? | ||

P.S. That LX ad has always amused me -- it looks like the poor thing is puking!! Actually, when you think about it, it IS puking when it ejects the bag!!! | ||

Plea to Paul & Rick!
Saw those ads and overexcited myself [:{> Do you two have scanners? If so, could you do a high rez scan of those ads and email them to me? Even if ya have to scan in sections, as long as they are the full page available I can knit them together. The LX is my mostest favoritest Electrolux ever...I guess that's not too obvious but I'm enamored of the mechanism. And I sure don't have those ads. Well, let me know and maybe we could do a ftp send fastest on an Instant Messenger of some sort. Dave. | ||

Worked great, Rick.. Excellent detailed scans.
I've joined the two pics together but have to take the file upstairs to the other printer which is more 'photo quality'. This a a really superbly salvaged double page magazine ad - not torn out leaving ragged edges into the image. Razored out at the binding seam?. Question - When your scanner does it's first pass does it produce a proof picture with software-imposed crop lines? And then you accept, it scans again and saves to file? If so, before doing final scan, run the crop lines right out to the edges so the image is full size of the image glass. I had to slightly resize one of them to get the proportions to match. No sweat, tho. Just a suggestion to anyone who wants to share high rez scans - let the recipient do the cropping. For personal printing of such ads I usually scan at 2-300 x. Big files but they print all the detail, and most folk's email programs can handle up to 10MB attachments now...don't they? Oh, that sounds ungrateful..but really it's just my paternal side goin' all Daddy on the young'uns' edjumacation. :-) Dave, tickled to have this ad to print and frame on the Lux Tower walls. | ||

Well done, Rick!
Fine work for a lumbering giant of a man with sausage size nimble fingers, I like to imagine... :-) Next to final output looks like this. A bit more jigger to the alignment and it's healed, ready to print and mount. Darned consumer software - my Paint Shop Pro 6 shows it perfectly aligned on screen then prints out with a tiny offset. So I have to unalign them just enough for the printer to fuse them together. But in the absnce of the real thing this will do mighty fine under some glareless glass. On the power take-off idea, I've had the same one. I have a late LX with some sad dents in the sides but no rents in the vinyl fabric. Also the only one without a saddle. After I get 'round to stripping down the machine and bumping out the dents I may very well upgrade this one with a well placed recepticle (like a G) so the cord slack would not impede the door and eject action & speed. I agree that Electrolux engineers were no doubt chomping at the bit to do this, too, but were waylaid by the dang bag ejection problem and development of the on-the-front burner E and AE. And of course it is also the heaviest Lux to haul around without wheels. It's a Man's Vacuum. LOL In fact, I think it looks like a Lincoln, Cadillac or Imperial accessory, if not rooftop/hood ornament.
