I think… The difference is the 1205{s and Golden Jubilee models have the shorter armature motors and the Super J, Olympia and Siverado’s have the longer armature motors. The Super J was named as such because of the bigger motor with more suction power. The entire body of the Super J is longer...

There are significant design differences Between the pn 2 and pn 4a. The pn-2 is much harder to push and tends to stick to the carpet because of it’s design the placement of the elbow and the air opening and the rollers all make this to be the case. The entire pn was redesigned for the pn4 and...

Yes.. I have a pn-1 with the full length cord which goes straight to the cleaner…however those clips to clip the cord onto the hose are rare and often break from flexing. I don’t have any anymore and so using the pn without those clips is annoying with the cord flopping around…but it comes in...

Very interesting Never seen these before. Quite unique and likely rare nowadays. Thanks for sharing. Jon

This is not the original motor. Originals were all metal construction. This is clearly a later replacement by either Electrolux/Aerus or a generic vacuum store.

Oh wow… I’d really be interested in seeing the rug tool that sounds interesting…definitely this has been a treat to see something Electrolux I never knew existed. I love the brown hose too. Is that genuine? Jon

If the hoses leak I would be interested in both the handle and machine ends should the hoses be leaky. I have fitting and vinyl hose I use with them to refresh them or should you wish to do so yourself I can give you pointers on how and where to buy the supplies to do so. I think maybe that...

Yes…. It has been a while since I’ve rewound one of these. First off show me the housing for the cord reel so I can see it better. The older models had some parts that retain the spring. When the spring is wound around the cord reel that is the “wound up” position when the cord is all the way...

Oh also…. Can you pick up water with the CB? I would imagine if so one would want to use all plastic or rubber attachments. Jon

Wow I’ve never seen those extra wide floor tools. It looks like it’s a nor,al o e with an extra wide rubber bumper. I’d be curious to see the opposing side with the bristle strips and where the screws are. Post a photo of that if you could. Fabulous machine though. Do these have the cyclone...

You may want to… See if you can find a 1205 on eBay with a dead motor and put your motor into that body. I suspected the motor in yours would be good because of the way these models were sealed from the back end. You have to have a bag in the bag compartment for the machine to run or the bag...

My Shark rocket has two headlights Yes…My Shark rocket actually has two headlights…one on the main motor base unit which actually seems to have a mini projector lens and this allows it to cas the light from the base unit up at hand height down to the floor. Also, the power nozzle unit has Two...

I’m surprised…. If this is Walmart’s house brand that they didn’t call it the “Great Value” brand with the GV logo on it! Come to think of it I think they had a house brand line once before called DURABRAND. It was junk. More disposable vacuums being made. Parts for this?….Ahh yeah, that...

I agree The Hoover spin scrub really sucks the water out quite well. These “steam vac” type machine as not much more than 20 years old so this is the right place for the topic. Jon

Also…keep in mind… I think not as many AEks were retrofitted because the AE’s rug and floor tool had the switchable “gleaner” bar that actually did quite a good job to pick up pet hari and other lint that sticks to the carpet. The “gleaner bar” sadly was modified to be one that was permanent...

Electrolux paint colors I’ve noticed once Electrolux changed paint colors they never would “go backwards” and run any of the previous colors….such as you might suggest they could have done to make a matching PN-1 for the AE models that were retrofitted with the outlet port. Since they...

Dysonman1 What color is the bumper on that pn-1? It’s kinda blurry so hard to tell exactly. Charles Lester’s pic it is teal but hard to see on yours? Jon

Could be The type of carpet you have. We have dense thick Chinese rugs where the PN 4a sticks to it but on the rugs in the other rooms which are not that type it works fine. Once we changed to the L shaped nozzle with the vents in the front snd sides and put a new brush in it too, it seems to...

I’ve had… A few of the original steam vac with spin scrub by Hoover. Fantastic machine and heavy duty plastics in comparison to a Bissell which I received and found many broken plastic parts inside. The plastic of the bissell a is hard and thin and cracks very quickly. The plastic of the...

Repairing the squished area I know what you mean about the squished area and that is actually repairable. What I’ve done is carefully insert the hose into a workbench vice with the long ends of the squished area against the vice paddles. Gently tighten the vice to apply some pressure to reround...
