Since we've been in isolation, I've used some time every day devoted to spa treatment for my Lux vacs.

Tonight I am very proud to share pictures of my XXX.

I am very happy with the results.

This is the same model my Mom had when I was growing up.  And.........  that's 68 years ago!

Coming next, my Electrolux LX.

Simply stunning

Very nice looking machine. You did a good job making it look new. I'd love to own one of those.

That is so nice, you did a beautiful restoration. I got my XXX a couple years ago to go with the attachments I've had for over 20 years! I think I'll have to book an extended stay at the spa to bring mine up to your level. Seeing yours has given me,"sweet sweet, inspiration."

Very nice...from a fellow owner

I have my Grandmother’s XXX she bought new when my Dad was just a kid and he is 84 now! I’m the third generation to have the machine as my Aunt had it after my Grandmother died. It doesn’t have the tool caddy “companion” though and I would like to find one to make using the machine easier as I like to have the attachments ride on board wherever I go.

Your polish up job especially on the attachments looks nice, mine look pretty close in shine, but not quite as nice as yours, but mine have never been polished since new, just well cared for as the unit was always stored in a box in a dry place.

If anyone has a spare one of these caddy’s (or companions as they were originally called) I’d be willing to buy.

I almost bought one on eBay long ago but for some reason I passed on it and someone else finally bought it after it sat on eBay for a long time. Stupid me should have purchased it back then.
