Thanks, Kevin. I like the way it came out. It's really quiet and powerful. I'm not really crazy about the power nozzle though, as it compares to the PN-4A I also have. It seems to bog down on thicker rugs. I'm wondering if there's a way to raise it up a bit. Regarding my next project I...

All done. Thank you! Everything is all done. Thank you to everyone who helped me with this project. Now, I will start working on my Electrolux 1205. Much appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Thanks for the link regarding the electric motor bearing grease. It's always good to use high quality materials. Mike

Thanks for the advice, Garry, but unfortunately I'm still confused. That method doesn't seem to account for the four wires I have meeting at the switch. Maybe I'm missing something, but I think your method would have three wires at the switch. I don't understand why a simple wiring diagram...

Thanks for your help. I think I may have goofed when reassembling everything after servicing the motor. Can you tell me how the four wires should be hooked up to the switch? I really should take pictures as I disassemble. It would make my life so much easier.

Model G Power Nozzle The Model G is working really well now thanks to the advice given here. I'm really pleased with its performance. The problem I have now is the power nozzle isn't spinning. The power nozzle itself is not the problem though, because it works on another vacuum. The hose...

Motor Testing Excellent advice that is much appreciated. Thank you Real1shep and electrolux137. I had no idea what a sintered bushing was, but I do now after Googling it. I still don't know how to lubricate it though. Do I just drop some of the blue 3 in 1 motor oil on it? I also watched a...

Model G Motor Servicing Hey all. I wanted to update you on my progress. I thoroughly cleaned everything as best I could, and greased the one bearing set I was able to find. I'm not clear on the rear bronze sleeve bearing referenced by vacuumlad1650. I just can't seem to find that one. I...

Model G Motor Tuneup I actually just bought that grease to service a Dormeyer mixer and a Kitchenaid K5SS mixer. It's good stuff. Thanks for the advice. Hey there, CTvacman. I'm along the shore in Clinton. How about you? It's great to know there are kindred spirits out there. Mike

Electrolux Model G Motor Removal I'm in. Thank you very much. Some of those screws were pretty well hidden. Do you have any advice on servicing the motor, or can you please direct me to a thread where this was already discussed? I'd love to make this one run better, but if I can't I have...

Hi everyone, I'm new to your website, and am glad to be here. I have a few vintage Electrolux vacuums that I've acquired through estate sales, and am fascinated with them. They are such solidly built and really cool looking machines. The problem I come to you for help with involves a...
