The VINTAGE Electrolux XII (Model 12) - After refurbishment! (and lots of polishing)

[@benwalker2736]

I've always wanted an old Electrolux

[@VacLab]

Fabulous polish job! There's nothing like enjoying your own hard work. 👍

I've always loved the sound of the old American Electroluxs. I need to refurb my Model XXXs. Maybe I'll find one of those one day.

[@stevejones1972]

Great refurb job Sam - you really put some effort into this one. for something that is 85 years old, it is in incredibly good condition. Pity about the hose, but if its not being used and just on display, then it will be just fine - like you say, its not going to be a daily driver, so demoing it with a Numatic hose was a good idea, to show how good the suction is.

Amazing job Sam this vacuum sounds great for it`s age can`t believe how old it is

[@beko1987]

I know, its amazing isn't it! Stick a plastic/non leaking hose on it and it'll be fab! I'd use one for a month if I owned one

A person who had this and a Hoover 800 had everything that they needed to clean a house for a lifetime in their time.

[@LlyleHunter]

Magnificent! We had a treasure that followed these named the Model XXX or Model 30. One thing that I’ve never seen is a Miele President of this era or up to the 1950s in running condition on KZbin.

This weekend I was able to buy an XII in his own box. Interestingly, the larynx is also made of metal. Data table data: S: 331 No. 030280. The latter can be the year of production, 030> 1930? I would show you a photo if you had an email address.

Gratulálok. A mai napon vásároltam egy 12-es gépet, erdeti dobozában. Küldenék fotót, ha lenne címed.

[@andyhoovers7452]

fantastic one grate job sam :) x

[@andyhoovers7452]

my gran had a gobbling one that look a bit like that I can recall using it when I was 7 year old :) x

[@anthonyinger7591]

Your gran would have had a Goblin vacuum cleaner not Gobbling.

[@Captain_Char]

the armoua thing might been filled with mothballs like the kirby, and used to fumigate a closet

[@SasaSTS]

Would you show a photo of the data table?

[@michaelanthonylabue1450]

All of those tools are from a model XXX or LX.
