"Sport" would indicate some sort of skill or difficulty involved, and there is none when provoking Phil.   But Phil runs hot and cold. Sometimes (well, often) vile (wishing cancer or death on those with whom he disagrees, etc.) sometimes almost charming.   He's bright and knowledgeable, but will NEVER concede when he's wrong. Always fascinating though.

Phil   I used both LPS2 and WD40 and I didn't find them similar. LPS more oily and smells different. LPS1 might be mre similar. CRC 2-26 also seems different. More oily than WD40. I like it better as a lube.   Greg

Do I order them by size, or just give the name of the >machine, since I do not have the model number?????   I have a strong suspicion that all the older Electrolux horizontal canister vacuum cleaners uses the same size of bag. Electrolux seems to have chosen to stick with a proven design for many, many years of manufacture.   I've had one of these for over 20 years (and it was a refurb when I bought it). I've always just grabbed packets of bags marked "for Electrolux" at whatever big-box store or supermarket I happened to be in, when I realized I needed some. Never had a mis-fit.   https://evacuumstore.com/c-3-electrolux-canister-vacuum-bags.aspx   It looks to me as if they have what you want... likely the "Type C" filter bags. "The 25 pack of 4 Ply Generic filter paper Aerus Electrolux Style C Canister Paper Bags fits all canisters from 1952 to 2008 except Oxygen, Guardian, and Renaissance models." They look just like what mine uses.

They look just >like what mine uses.   Thanks,   Those do look like the right ones and after doing some more reading on the web, it appers that what you said is true. Looks like all the Electrolux canister vacs use that Type C bag, except those you noted. Mine is the Silverado (and I thought that was a Chevy Truck).   Also, looking at a very detailed ad on Ebay to sell one of these vacuum cleaners, it appears this is the model 1505. That ad has about 25 pictures and they are all identical to my vac.   Kind of sounds like these are very well made vacs that last forever. I'm glad I could save mine from the landfill. Especially since it works perfectly. Sometimes it amazes me what people throw away.

"Gareth Magennis" <soundserviceleeds@outlook.com>: May 10 11:14PM +0100 I opened a Korg M1 keyboard the other day, to find a previous repairer had marked and written all over the PCB's.   Something along the lines of "N.Cook switches". And various pen marks beside screws etc.   Was that you, N.Cook?       Gareth.

A local restaurant > a few years ago had timers and signs, and always had great coffee, > presumably partly because they followed that rule.   With nothing except my own palate to go on, I'd say that 45 minutes is three times to long. 15 minutes is the absolute maximum coffee can stay on direct heat in my opinion. Decanted into a prewarmed insulated carafe, coffee will still be quite potable for many hours with no loss of flavor or gain of bitterness IMO.   My wife and I both drink coffee black, which is why I believe we're particularly sensitive to overly heated coffee.   BTW, the best coffee I've ever had is coffee that's reconstituted from a cold brew concentrate in a coffee machine. I've had this several times in several fine restaurants, and it's amazing - enough so that the first time I had it I had to corner the manager and ask how they "brewed" it. Strong and complex flavors without a hint of bitterness or any defects such as aftertaste. Why this hasn't become a hit in the consumer end is beyond me.   BEST COFFEE EVER

Foxs Mercantile <jdangus@att.net>: May 10 02:15PM -0500 The absolute WORST cup of coffee I've ever had was an "in flight" cup given to me by the flight engineer while I was sitting in a jump seat behind the pilot on a Flying Tigers freight run from Los Angeles to Orlando around 1985. I swear they had to have made it with used hydraulic oil.     -- Jeff-1.0 wa6fwi http://www.foxsmercantile.com   --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com
