Jack, one thing I'm wondering about -- that rug nozzle looks like one from a real early Electrolux to me. Is that original Hoover equipment for the "Minor" ? |

Breathtaking, Well done Jack. How did you get that shine, I really wish to achieve that on the aluminium parts of my lux Z11 ? Regards, Walter. |

Jack I too don't believe I have ever seen a shine like that vintage machine has. It is just beautiful. I just wish we knew what the guy did to achieve that. What a great addition to your collection. |

Glad you've finally got a Minor, Jack, and one that needed so little work at that! Out of curiosity, is it Perivale built? Si |

The 200B would have been made at Perivale. Early 200s were made in Canada, and had 'An Empire Product' on the bags. Later 200s were Perivale-built. |
