1205 Love my 1205, was one of the first vacuums I ever had. If you don’t have a newer vinyl hose it probably would be worth getting one. While the older braided hoses look very nice they do tend to leak air badly as it ages. You can keep the original for show and actually vacuum with the vinyl...

I recently acquired a single speed E series, this will probably become a daily driver and I would to get at least the basic attachments for it. If anyone has a set of OEM attachments, like the upholstery tool, dusting brush, floor brush and attachment caddy I would take it off your hands! Cameron

1205 The 1205 was also my first experience with an Electrolux. I was very young, about middle school age when I got it. It came from a garage sale in town...was in a box marked free. Had all the attachments and everything worked, it was just clogged in the power nozzle. My family was very...

Thanks! Got everything buttoned back up and ready to go! It is worth mentioning that on the old switch anyways polarity matters with the PN receptacle. On the first go around the pn receptacle remained energized when the switch was off. Switching the wires around solved the problem...

I suspected the power switch on my D4 of being bad, when I pulled it out though I did find another loose wire. I made a mistake though and didn’t document which wires go where. Looking online reveals that the replacement switch is different and wiring instructions are for the new one and not the...

Picked up as cool looking sharp twin energy the other day. Never seen a “supercharged” vacuum before lol. Does seem to have strong suction. This must be a fairly TOL unit, it has a brush roll shirt off, variable power control as well as a separate floor and attachment hose with diverter. The...

Clogs Found a sock once in the diverter of an upright Sharp. Had to trash that one because the motor overheated and it warped the housing and no longer airtight. The twin energy I just found a few days ago had some kind of plastic bracket jammed in the attachment hose. Had to break it apart...

My D4 just up and stopped worked one day. I’m hoping it’s just a loose or bad wire. I cant seem to figure out how to the power switch out to test the cord and other individual wires. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Cam

Acquired a somewhat unusual Oreck model the other day. It’s all black with the helping hand model, but a foot mounted on/off switch. Otherwise pretty standard fair for an Oreck. Last owner used the inside of the cloth bag to store extra paper bags instead of the pocket on the back of it. Had a...

Getting the black top off... I don’t remember exactly but you need to take the top off (to access the motor). Under the exhaust cap there are some screws there may be a few more along the way. Once you have the top off you can see the screws that hold the handle on, take those out and the...

Well that sensor is deep in the neck....I’m not sure how one would adjust it, especially with it running you can barely get to it with the neck out. In any case I cleaned it all out and got the fuzz out. Getting all the bits back together was a chore but everything finally went back together...

Well the deed is done finally. I am really quite surprised at the difference my D3 and this. They made a lot of updates and it’s a really nice machine to, especially now with brand new bearings! Now to keep my eyes out for a 2 speed E series on the cheap!

What a great score! I paid quite a bit more for my SE that I’m in the process of rebuilding now. I’d love to find an E series machine but every one I’ve found is going for 100s of dollars. Enjoy!

Tore into the power nozzle tonight. Unlike the power unit this was a marvel of simplicity to take apart. Had a couple of interesting surprises in it, mainly enough fluff to knit a sweater and Kirby belt.

Thank you Electroluxxxx for the offer with parts, I did already have an order placed. If you are able to source parts for a D2 I would take the assistance when I get around to rebuilding it though! For my D4 I ordered the flange, flange gasket, flange screws, the three bearings, and new fan...

Is the sensor in the clean side or the dirty side of the neck? I tried to clean the boards up as much as possible. You can see the broken screws in the first picture with the top off.

Well after much coercion the spacers finally gave up and I got the thing apart. Now to order parts and wait for the post!

I seen a fairly new model Windsor Sensor S12 for sale a few towns over for sale for 5 bucks. Figured for the price I didn’t have much to loose. The town I got it from has a Servicemaster cleaning company and I’m guessing this was a fleet machine, though it seems the only problems was caused by...

These things just don’t like to come apart! Any trick to getting the fan blades out?

I have always wanted a riccar canister, the uprights are fairly common around here but never see the canister models. This one looks to be a bit of a mixed bag...the suction unit is so so though the power head seems solid. A bit disappointed it doesn’t have a metal brush roll though. Haven’t had...
