Did either of those other moded Kirbys prove helpful?

The two speed one has me thinking. But I really want the Platinum mods so it's quiet. That would be such a huge improvement. Obtw, Happy New Year,

Happy new year to you too. You could have all of those mods together though. Avalir platinum quiet stuff, and the two speed switch.

Thank you. Frankevacs are sort of a specialty of mine. I saw someone do the same conversion to a G-P minus the blue skins many years ago and it has been something I burned to do myself. It was a fun project and it ends up being a pleasure to use.

My Electrolux is currently a Frankenvac.

I combined a 1205 with SuperJ.

I luv the teal (?) color of the 1205 canister, but not the SuperJ's gold canister. And the SuperJ's powernozzle will stand upright by itself, while I have to lean the 1205's teal powernozzle against a wall or something or it will fall over.

So I use the SuperJ's chrome looking carpet powernozzle. And the Sidekick for smaller areas.

... a question ... my 1205 seems less powerful than the SuperJ. Are these 2 motors the same rating? Can I swap them?

I do think they are different.
