I love this machine! Can someone share the history of the Electrolux rebuilt vacuum program and how long it lasted? Thanks

I too am curious about this program. I had a rebuilt 1401 Electrolux but I ended up giving it away after I found the Epic 6500. The 1401 had the same hammer tone gray paint. Did they all have this same color scheme and tag? | ||

I am guessing that after Electrolux rebuilt the machines they probably operated just like new! | ||

Nice machine. I like the color scheme although it would have looked better had they left the top panel in its original polished aluminum instead of painting it. Just at a glance, it looks like they were trying to somewhat emulate the Silverado scheme. Another advantage of the hammer tone paint on a rebuilt machine is it can hide a world of sins, which would make for faster and easier surface prep. I certainly found this to be true when I repainted my PN4A power nozzle last fall.

Very nice! I've also wondered about Electrolux rebuilds. Was the program similar to Kirby's? Or did Electrolux simply rebuild their own machines (maybe trade ins?) and then resell them? I have a rebuilt early Model L in hammertone brown (coppertone). It looks nice. I just wish they would have riveted the rebuild tag to the bottom of the machine!

So....if the OE 1205 motor was worn, would they have put in the current motor at the time (same as the Silverado in this case)?

That would arguably make the rebuilt machine a little better than it was when new. Another possibility is they would rebuild the motors. It would actually make sense to have a ready stock of motors pulled from previous rebuilds and refurbished separately to drop into machines as they come in for rebuilding.

"motor"?--Would be same as original.
Interesting factoid, thanks.
