Users manual August 14, 1952. Was that for the new model LX? or the last of the model XXX? This really helps me pinpoint the exact date that the LX was introduced, a question that's bothered me for years.
If the LX was introduced in the spring/summer of 52 it clears up another personal question concerning the date my friend Jeanette bought her Electrolux. |

I happen to know that both the instruction manual and the ride on tool holder called the Companion were not ready when the LX was first sold. I have documentation with letters to Electrolux stating "just got the manual and tool holder," seems customers waited about 6 weeks for these.
I'm trying to pinpoint when I first saw the Electrolux model LX. If you go with the August 14, 1952 date, it's two weeks before my second birthday (September 2, 1950). It also confirms I was 2 years old when I saw it eject (around February of 1953). I know it sounds like a small issue, but it's not! To me it solves a huge question that's puzzled me for decades. Thanks. |

The polisher that matched the Automatic F had a two speed switch on the back. You release the handle to start the polisher, the step on switch changes speeds.

~ The first turquoise polisher, also designated as Model B7, had a two-speed motor.

Ok, thanks. Somewhere I'd read 1954 as the Model E's introduction year. I was just trying to figure out what manual was printed in 1953 that wasn't a revision (according to the entry). |

Do either of you have evidence that supports 1953, 1954, or 1955 such as literature or a dated ad? What manual would have been copyrighted in 1953? |

I'll take that to mean that you don't know for sure. |
