The gods of Mt Electrolux has entrusted me with what is considered to be another rare piece of Electrolux History- This is my first time ever seeing this style CB and it was sold during the short run of the Bronze Model G series. I did everything I could to control myself in front of the seller because I was in awe of how well preserved this machine is. And not only that , but two other rare pieces were sold with the machine ..the 16in wide Floor tool A N D a matching fabric extension hose and adapter for the Model CA. I will post pics of this shortly. Im in search of the original wands and the PN1 with the silver elbow to go with the CB. If anyone knows of any sources that would be willing to work out a deal please let me know! Otherwise I couldn’t be a happier vac collector ☺️🙃☺️ Thanks guys!

Congratulations Keith!
What an amazing and rare find! Looks like it's complete too, other than the power nozzle you're looking for. Hope you find one soon! I've never seen that version of the CB either, and actually have never seen a CB in person, only pics of them that have been posted here and on some of the other sites. For that matter, I didn't even know that Electrolux made a heavy duty commercial wet & dry vacuum until I started seeing them here! Again, congratulations on a great find!

Congratulations! Question, have you ever considered. Scanning and posting User's Manuals for the group? | ||

Hey Les, I see he has the User's Manual. I just thought I would ask a simple question. Hey Edgar, he has said in the past, he finds them and has a person restore/refurbish them. Is that correct, Keith? | ||

To all , you guys are great! I don't know how it happens , it just does. Its being at the right place at the right time, and it happened this last time on Ebay. When I saw this CB I knew I needed to get it, especially after confirming with the seller that an original CA Commercial Vacuum hose / accessory ( extension hose) was included.
This is not a refurbished CB. The machine is stellar and appears to have been used a few times and stored away. That's usually the story behind lots of pristine collectible vacs, especially for those I've found over the years. The machine is clean as a whistle without a scratch on it, and has retained its stainless steel mirror image surface, both inside and out. Runs like a new Model G :-) The Model G Bronze Series collection is nearly complete , as I don't have the B-8 Shampooer. To be clear not all of my machines are refurbished - I have a total of four refurbished vacs in my collection - The rest are in their original condition. If I locate a machine that I like, and if its been beat to hell, and if its worth saving, I will consider having it refurbished. Thanks again guys and as always , I appreciate your support. | ||

NP, Les, I knew you were. I have enjoyed your posts in the past. I hope you are never misunderstood. Jokesters are most often misunderstood. No harm done. Keep posting. | ||

 That machine has been really well cared for, no signs of pitting in the metal or anything. For someone to buy it and looks like never use it, just is incredible. The gold color looks lovely on this cleaner. It goes really well with the chrome. It is amazing if you think about it, how many variations there must be in every Electrolux vacuum are out there due to Electrolux's policy on refurbishment paint colors. The fact someone ordered this one and happened to get it in gold is so fortunate indeed. | ||
