This is my first posting of my second NIB Electrolux Olympia 1 to Vland 😊I previously shared pics of my 1980s Olympic Games model last year. I acquired this machine from a retired collector who decided to liquidate her inventory . Hoping you all have had a safe and fulfilling holiday! Take care and stay safe 😊 No thread hijacking please. Thanks 😊

I wish they still made this machine. One of the very best and my favorite colors! My Mom has one that her Mom had bought new...it’s in beautiful condition considering it’s age and I hope to have it someday. Jon |

Keith, you never cease to amaze me. ANOTHER new in the box Olympia!?! It's a real good thing we aren't a competitive bunch around here because this could drive some less stable folks into a tizzy (Please understand this statement was made in the broadest of generalities and not intended to be directed at any specific individual, whatsoever). That said, if this list is still around in another 50 years or so, people will be wearing it as a badge of honor to have a machine from the revered 'Keither Collection'.

Ooh, lovely. Your pics are not just a showcase of very rare dead-mint vacuums but also a great example of how they shipped new and what is all original for us newbies.
I have the same one but mine has been butchered by a aftermarket vinyl hose and a PN2 nozzle (not that thats a bad thing, just I like them to be original too) |

You have a diecast batmobile, a lego race car and a double decker trolley car london version diecast. Yeah there's a brand new never used vacuum too. Its living in California.
I'm not hijacking but when I vacation in fall next year I may have found a good place I've never been before. I'll update if it happens. I can maybe find the pipeline neither uses for nicest vacuums in the forum. We should do keithers vacuum as a calendar. I know you could customize one at walgreens usually 75% off around this time of year. |
