Here's the first project from my workshop, a cleaned-up and buffed-out Electrolux Model XXX. That's all it needed, to be cleaned and polished. The motor is in perfect running order. The "before" machine is in the exact condition that the "after" machine WAS, before I cleaned it up.
This is going to be a special gift for a good friend who is going to come by tomorrow for the "Great Sweeper Giveaway," but who is not (yet!) a vacuum cleaner afficionado. He's coming just for fun. I'm hoping that this unexpected present will whet his appetite for more!
Here are a some photos, then see the link for a brief video.
what a transformation is that metal aluminum? I guess it is
the XXX's are cool
when did they go to steel/chrome trim?
So many vaccs so little space...
My limitation still is vacs I can practically use or else I'd have no space to vacuum...
I still wonder what one I had? now I'm not even sure if it was tan or gunmetal
I just finished cleaning the 86 FQ motor of rust sanded & wet fine steel wool just enough to make it decent after all its inside & I was out doing it sweating in 90 weather at my workbench on my balcony..
