Ever since I got my Silverado, something has just clicked with me regarding these Electrolux canisters. That is a beautiful machine indeed! |

Nice Terry... What year are those from. I have absolutely no idea the dates these things were sold BTW if your friend in MI is an eclectic collector they're certainly welcome to come over next Sunday. |

Thanks everyone!! Pete, I believe the production years were 1978-1982. One thing amazing about this machine is the fact that the hose seems perfect, no leakage at all which for Electrolux is very unusual. |

Very nice Dave, is that brown nozzle a floor tool or rug tool? |

Its the standard Canadian floor brush which came out for the 80 series first in red then green. CanLux simply changed the plastic body color to match. Same as they did for the crevice tool and dusting brush and rug tool with the flip-over gleaner bar. I don't have that in brown nor the upholstery nozzle. Yet. Dave |

You may very well be right, Gary. I suppose it would be redundant with the standard PN. I seem to have a sense memory it came in brown what with all the other brown accessories. Ah now...Doug's site does picture a complete TOL AP280 in brown with the rug nozzle, a white bristle wall brush and a shag rake...so it's out there somewhere. Dave |
