Found this Electrolux at a thrift store for $3.00. Suction is not good right now, I plan on taking it apart soon and cleaning it up real good, any advice would be great. Thank you.

I f you put a new bag in it just before testing, the hose is probably shot, this could be the main reason why succion is not good. A good cleaning won't hurt anything, though. | ||

It's the hose, sounds like a couple of holes in it. Took the hose off and suction is great. | ||

I'm not surprised, most of these 40 years old cloth hoses are no good. | ||

As for cleaning the inside, the following video may be helpful for disassembly. | ||

I wrapped some tape around the hose until I can get a new hose, works great now. | ||

What kind of tape did you use? I did a few hoses with shipping tape, good results with succion, but not with pliability. | ||

I used black electric tape, works good. | ||

PLiability isn't an issue with electric tape ? | ||
