Piecing Together a Classic, Part Two

I picked this up recently:


Now, the Renaissance C104A is a little bit more complete. In fact, the only unoriginal part on it is the replacement plug*.

A glamour shot (and this is indeed the most glamorous Electrolux ever, as far as I'm concerned):


Another shot, with the Sidekick II connected up:


*As I believe I mentioned elsewhere, I'm unsure if the floor brush that would have come with this machine had the openings in the front row of bristles or not. The original (and, one assumes, non-PDF manual) should have the answer, but I don't happen to have that. The brush pictured here has a solid row of bristles, and, given the fact that every machine I own that's newer than the Renaissance C104A has a floor brush with openings in the bristles, I'll tentatively assume that this brush is indeed original. As a matter of interest, this particular floor brush came with the battleship grey Epic 6500 I bought, so, who knows what's right or wrong.
