I have an Electrolux Model G that has begun making those noises--probably a motor issue. I've already retired it from my housecleaning collection and purchased a new vac, but I don't want to just get rid of the Model G. So if anyone wants it to play around with or use for parts if that's feasible, it's up for grabs. I'm in Massachusetts, south of Boston, but willing to drive an hour or so to hand off. Thanks!
