~ Very lovely, Hans! Just wondering ... did the seller just ship the machine in the original box, or did they pack it in an outer box? btw Hans, a copy of the instruction book is here in Vacuumland. See the link below. To Alex, the upholstery nozzle has the Filtex logo on it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux137's LINK |

~ btw I used to have a very similar model but the leatherette was turquoise in color, and the nameplate on top only said "Filtex," so I assume it was an older model. |

Emdeko was a sales club (buying club). Kind of like an early version of Costco or Sams. People paid to be a 'member' and could select products like a vacuum or sewing machine. I've seen a number of sewing machines with the Emdeko label on them as well as Filtex and Compact vacuums. Ironic that the Compacts were C-4 models sold in the mid sixties - long after that model was retired from the door to door sales force.
Filtex no longer had a sales force in the 1960's. The Endeko labeled cleaners were all they were producing until the start up of the Central Vac production. |
