I forgot to post a picture of one of the wands, it has the Electrolux logo stamped into the wand about an inch and 1/2 below the slots.

Cleaned the 30 last night, got the motor out, it's interesting that the motor is very similar to the Model 12 motor. Carefully took the lead seal out of the motor so I could get the fan housing apart then cleaned the fans. Saved the lead motor seal. Cleaned and repaced the bearings, crazy glued the pieces of one of the bakelite suspension spacers back together and put it back in place. Replaced the handle and put everything back together.
Then at 12:30 in the morning I made a couple of new filters. Still need to get a couple of dents out of the trim. The hose is on it's way out, it still holds suction but the inside of the hose is now ending up in the bag. | ||

Filter Very nice recreation of that filter. My local dealer does not seem to stock them for my '37 model 30 anymore, either!!!

Very nice! Great find! Do you think anyone ever complained about their hardwood floors being scratched by the lux's sled rails? | ||

Ended up replacing the bearings in the motor this evening, so the motor isn't as loud as before.
It's so nice when you have the original Electrolux tools to get the bearings off and put the new bearings on. The front bearing seater is really nice, you put the back bearing cover on, then the bearing, then screw the tool on to the armature, then just twist the outside of the tool and the bearing just slides down into place on the armature. | ||
