I was briefly tempted by that Epic 6500 in picture #5.
It looks pretty complete, and it's probably a half an hour from me. But, I already have one of that same color combination, and three 6500s and one Ambassador for plastic bodied Electroluxes. Plus, it shows tape where the wands connect, and around one of the attachments; possibly the power nozzle neck, if I recall correctly. I wouldn't be able to leave well enough alone. I'd have to track down correct wands for it, and whatever else is worn out. Barry | ||

It might be a good parts machine. Can't really beat that price. That was like the best color combination Electrolux had, especially on the Ultralux. | ||

Elux 6500 This does look complete and it mentions bags that could be worth more than asking price.The tape in those positions would probably only be a simple matter of replacing the small latch button on which the tips often break off.Likely a good vac.(Not all of hose is visible but easy to replace if badly worn.) | ||

Electrolux hardly ever changed their bag design so they should all work. I have a pack of Electrolux canister bags somewhere that lists like 8-10 different models on the front. I think the seller just means that the 100pk. of bags would be worth more than the vacuum if you sold them individually as the pack or one by one.
Also I dunno if it's just me, but the Electrolux 6500 in that color with its shape reminded me of those old conversion vans with the roof cap.

husky I like your check list on your profile. Depending on how active you are in finding those vacs, you can find some on ebay. | ||

Some 70s and newer vacs aren't all that bad..
To me the plastic models clean just as well, they are easier to use, lightweight and have filtered exhaust. I don't think the older models necessarily cleaned better. Check out Vaclab's DirtDevil video on youtube. It has comparable CFMs to a generation series Kirby. I don't think plastic vacs are necessarily all crap.
