Perhaps some extension of knowledge regarding the motors used and to help steer me into the quality side of things.. I don't see any stamping on these motors to discern which they are.

Rob's response... This sure has provided me a lot of insight as a collector of Electrolux and having thought about scooping up a pending listing of a Tristar. My hat is off to you Sir.

I just picked up an Electrolux System 90 with a bad motor and was wanting to find out if I can use the motor of an AP 100 inside? The Electrolux AP 100 is another unit being given away and had a few damaged parts. Good for salvage which would also allow me to make parts available :) Thank you.

That is actually very interesting to see the photo of that one! I did get one of these in it which I thought was completely random... Wonder how common these kits? are?

So I hope that posting in this category is not forbidden as to the item I have came with the second hand purchase of my Electrolux Guardian Encore. Nothing I have fits the groves and I am not really sure about it..

Kirbylux77 Here is my 1974 Golden Jubilee... Don't mind the PN as I have it apart for a cleaning and stuck it together for this photo! I too pick up all canisters by Electrolux :) :D

Huskyvacs, Looks like a newer Golden Jubilee without the stickers and the different hose. 1975 perhaps. Mine is the 1974 50th anniversary and it has a banana style handle lol. The PN looks like Ambassador model perhaps if not central.

I have a correct 1974 golden jubilee. Your hose and PN are not correct. But same, I would buy it even for 50.00!

Well it is all back together amd working!! Here is the finished look before I have a chance to find a decent filler :)

Absolutely what I have intended on doing. Now a really curious question is the hose pin out and if it matters at all? I do not suspect as the pig tail on the PN can be flipped around. However it has turned more into a salvage for usage at this rate than a restoration. However keep in mind that...

Well... I finally decided that the risk may well be worth the reward! Before anyone feels negative regarding this decision of mine... The hose had an electrical short with a tiny burn through near the handle. This is how I purchased it without being fully aware. In my opinion, no one wants to...

Oh my! That is a very nice find indeed! Perhaps it will happen for us all at some point :)

What is the possibility that someone may have a hose for this model that is electric internally and made of vinyl? OEM preferred. More importantly is for this will be my daily driver!

Thank you for this information. I would much prefer to find an oem vinyl hose that won't cost me an arm or have the original working so that it can power the PN. I have my eyes open and any Electrolux for sale locally usually ends up at my place. One problem is with local for sale sites, many...

I have decided to attempt and remove the handle end of the electric hose and see about making a repair to the wires. It is not the pistol grip type but the earlier style. I was able to remove the handle part but not yet figured out what to do with the plastic and metal cuff at the hose part...
