The workmanship of this machine is just amazing. It’s at least 35 years old and the performance is still top notch !

Silverado
Keith,
They truly are amazing machines! I have several, and my most recent one was a Goodwill find. For $35, I got the vacuum, original hose, floor attachment, power nozzle, dusting brush, crevice tool, bags, etc. The only thing that didn't come with it was a mini nozzle (Sidekick) or the rug washer like you have there. When I got it home, I put a new bag in it and fired it up.....that old motor sounds as healthy as can be, and when I paired it with a newer vinyl hose, it really has the power! You have a fabulous setup there as well! Enjoy! | ||

Quick question, I have an Olympia One from my great grandmother, and it's been cast aside for a number of years, but I am having an issue with it. I haven't plugged it in yet or powered it on for many years, but for some reason the bag door refuses to stay shut. I do not know if it has to be turned on to close, or if something is broken on it?

There are a few thing that could cause it not to lock shut
Hello All and Huskyvacs,
Without taking the door apart, which is not a big deal, check the following. Locking device on door side without closing it is the lever spring springing the lever up to the locking position and not wobbling? Do you see the spring down inside on the lever? On the body side are both screws holding the locking tab tight? Is that locking tab bent so it is not allowing the door side to engage. The locking device is purely mechanical only. It is merely a latch and nothing electrical. As I am a picture person here are a few of the latch and tab. If you want me to take my door apart so you can see what happens I will. Let me and us know what you come up with in testing it. I am working on an Electrolux LX and have it spread apart on my bench trying to get the bag ejector to work. I hate to say it but your latch problem is a cakewalk, strange term but I like it and it sort of fits, compared to this LX. Thank you for looking, Pete | ||

Sorry, didn't intend to hijack your thread, keither , but it is such a minor thing I didn't want to make a new topic about it and bump any older posts off the front page.
I looked at the vacuum yesterday and I made the determination that the latch is indeed broken off. I do not know how it happened, but it did. It's just a rough jagged piece of plastic where the clip would be that secures the door to the vacuum. I am a picture person too, it's just usually I post late and don't have the time to get the pics off my camera and uploaded. | ||

Kiether.... what I admired is the polisher holder. Seems the rarest! | ||
