![]() ![]() The Lux 4000 is a fairly significant machine in the company's history, being the first to incorporate a built-in hose and telescopic wand, and on board attachments*. I saw it on eBay for a reasonable price and decided to snag it, as these models are not very plentiful. Here is the latest addition to the collection, and the first in quite some time: an Electrolux Lux 4000 upright. I have a ZB/Z 88 made in 1963 in Montreal subsequently, everything bears the notation 'Made in Pointe Claire, Que.' *Either in or after 1964, the Electrolux factory moved from downtown Montreal to suburban Pointe Claire, Quebec (which I believe is more or less part of the Greater Montreal area). I want the whole bloody kit and caboodle. Speaking of the 80 series, if I have no other vacuum-collecting ambition (and I really do, but never mind), its to have a complete set of all of the 80 series machines, in all their possible variations, with all possible changes/differences in hoses, hose handles, hose cords, wands, power nozzles, standard attachments, optional attachments, manuals, etc. I do remember a lot of 80 series Electroluxes having a distinct scent.I don't know if they sold some sort of product to suck up in the bag and emit a scent, as with the Clean Sweep Chips, or was it a scented oil on the interior filter, or this mystery filter I'm remembering, or what. Another possibility is that this was some kind of scent filter, perhaps a precursor of the Clean Sweep Chips. ![]()
