Very nice model R. Congratulations on a wonderful machine. When they first appeared, the R had the matching AF attachments, as Lux was using up what they had already produced. By the second year of the model R, they were using model G attachments as that's what they were then currently producing. I got my model R (in the box) from a friend who is one of the Vice Presidents of Aerus. It the earliest version with the late AF rug tool as well as dusting brush.

~ The Model G was introduced in 1960. I have tons of company literature about its roll-out.
The first Model B7 was in two-tone gray and white matching the Model F. It had a wax applicator setup with a trigger under one side of the handle. The trigger was connected to a thin cable attached to a spring-loaded cap on the wax can that was mounted on the handle. A clear tube ran from that cap down to the side of the machine under the bumper. When the user squeezed the trigger, wax would flow down the tube and onto the floor.
This equipment was continued into the turquoise B7 but it proved to be unsuccessful -- the tube would clog up with dried wax because users failed to properly clean it out after use. Most of the B7s you find have had that equipment removed by Electrolux repairmen. |

Do you ever use any of these machines or do you have a daily driver for all the mundane tasks? |
