I can attest to the price of Lux 1205 in 1969 in Tacoma Washington. My Mother paid $213.00 for the 1205 with the PN, with the strap on hose cord, though the machine already was set-up for the newer style hose....I never really liked it. Wasn't a G! Greg |

My Grandma bought a white Electrolux L in the early 60's I still have the bill of sale. The whole package including power nozzle cost her roughly $150
I found this out last night and it makes me sick. I work part time in a nursing home on the side in addition to a full time job. Anyhow I have a resident who is in her 90's and has been with us a year. Her daughter told me last night that right before her Mom moved to the nursing home she had a Kirby dealer come to her door and sold her a Kirby with everything for over $3,000. The lady probably used it one time before going to the facility. That is just robbery |

When I started selling Electro-Hygiene in January 1974, the 903 upright was $269.95 including attachments and the 966 tank was $259.95. Later on that year the prices went up to $289.95 for the upright and $279.95 for the tank. There was also an Extra Accessories Kit available for the upright that included a polisher brush, sprayer, and small bag, cord, and short handle to convert it to a hand vac for $29.95, and a polisher for the tank, but I don't remember the price. Cord winders and power nozzles became available for the tank later that year.

If I remember right, the cord winder and power nozzle didn't affect the price of the 966, as they were always sold as optional equipment. I didn't sell any power nozzles myself, as I had already left Electro-Hygiene when they came out with them. And when I went back to Electro-Hygiene a couple years later, they had me selling the Galaxy Prestige 990 almost exclusively.
