    did electrolux-aerus ever use lamb motors

    Easiest way is to get the motor with the adapter plate. since the Super J & Olympia motors were longer, the PVC pipe adapter is needed for those models. On the later metal canister vacuums, their is an extension on the bag chamber. For the 1205, you may not need the pipe adapter. I have a...
