The Olympia 1 is a great machine. 43 years old this year. Where does time go? I remember when mine was brand new in the box.

Antoine, you did good. Looks to be in nice shape and good hose for that price. The only thing I would suggest you do immediately is open up the cleaner and inspect the carbon brushes. Chances are they are worn down to nothing by now & ready to be changed. And order a set of Super J carbon brushes for it to have on hand. Being from the late 70s, it may look good, but will have had a LOT of miles on it. The old saying "looks can be deceiving" would apply here LOL.
Enjoy your new cleaner, and whatever you do, save that old Lux 89. You may eventually find a cheap donor parts machine to fix it up. | ||

Carbon Brushes? Have you seen the size of the brushes on these old Electrolux motors? They are about a mile long and thick. Nothing like what you find on modern motors. Unless this machine was used daily for hours I would bet it has 1/2 or more of the brushes left. | ||

Tyler, good point. But, let's not forget the age of the cleaner....the Olympia was made from 1979 to 1982. And the fact this vacuum has a newer hose and a service sticker on it indicates it was probably in regular service in someone's home till very recently. So at it's oldest, this cleaner is 24 years old, youngest it would be is 21 years old....considering most people vacuum at least 1 hour a week, yes I sure would at the very least be checking the carbon brushes on that motor. And there's nothing wrong with taking a little caution and doing a basic service on a older cleaner, and well advised too if it's a good model and year that's worth keeping in good condition and caring for.
Antoine - One thing I forgot too is that your Olympia would take the Ametek Advantek motor used in the Perfect C101 if you ever require a motor replacement. It can also use a single stage Electro Motor that's sold with a tube and seal to retrofit the motor to the cleaner. And the cord rewinder from the Perfect C101 would also work with it too. If you like this vacuum, might not be a bad idea to set aside a couple replacement parts. | ||

Olympia This later Olympia and first Silverado had some of the best motors. If it runs well and sounds good I would leave it alone and enjoy. The newer hose should give full suction. | ||
