Well I finaly found the time to pic up my L model Electrolux with european motor (220) volt. T do not understand the atachments that are with it because they are different than on all the pictures I can find about this model. the small atachment and the rug nozzle are in the color light grey/ dark grey, and the metal end of the hose does belong to an E model I think. Can somebody help me out? |

Forgot to mention, I think the swivel connector on the floor/rug tool would have been plastic by this time too, but I'm not positive about that. R |

Edgar. I have never seen that color of Lux "L". One of our Canadian Lux experts will have to chime in. The models I talked about were US built machines. That one appears to be a mustard color. Looks great though!!! R |

I'm wondering now if it was gold metallic painted over a blue,(and older) model "L". If a factory painted machine was scratched, there wouldn't be blue under the gold. A gray primer perhaps but not blue. |

I'm wondering if it has a real lux motor or an aftermarket unit, like an Lamb motor. I think that would be easier than having the original modified. |

Hi everybody,the mystery is solved. The vacuum cleaner is bought in a second hand store in 1968 by the lady's father. In 1973 they moved to holland and took the cleaner with them. 1973 is also the year that the motor was rewired for 220 volt. THe atachments has always been with it, but it is possible that a second hand store in new york called MR Grey made 1 out of 2. After cleaning it still keeps this strange shine so I want to take the whole thing appart shave it and re paint it. Ater i decide wich color it will be ( i think white i will start looking for the atachments. |
