What motors did each of the CB and CB 2000 versions have? I've heard that the early ones had the Model G motors, and sometime later the Model L motors were used. I wonder why Model L motors were used instead of the standard models' ones? As for the larger motors, they must have been used prior to the Super J motors, because some of the teal ones had the larger motor housings (unless they were retrofitted at a later time). Would the 1205 motors required a larger housing?
I'm also wondering what color hoses each CB and CB 2000 version originally had. It seems from pics I've seen that the aqua CBs had ivory-colored hoses, the teal ones had gray hoses, and the brown ones had brown hoses Is this correct? Were they called accordion-style hoses? Were they vinyl or another material?
Were the Model CWs and CBWs manufactured in the USA or Canada, and when were they manufactured? How were they alike and different? One of the differences I've noted on John's pics are that one (if not both) had a tall handle on it.

Kevin ,
the hose were vinyl and 10 ft. long. Most all the hoses were grey. And to give you a heads up on the CB 2000 here is a cutaway of one. The motor used Super J armature, the motor mount was similar to L and that's it.

Bring back the CB2000
Aerus needs to reconsider to bring these back with new and added features such as HEPA filtration like what's on the Guardian Platinum, 10ft.electric crushproof hose, on-board tool caddy with sidekick option along with power nozzle storage on the machine. It may sound overkill but they also from what I've seen on here made a wet/dry option. Why not have that again? I know that cost and supply and demand was the reason why they were discontinued but I've always felt these were better vacuums than the household versions. However, my favorite canisters they did make that are my favorites is the model G, and the Super J which I have one of those as well as my CB2000. Just haven't been too impressed with the current models that are currently out there. The only three I would consider would be the Lux Classic or the Guardian Platinum as well as the Centralux. Just not a big fan of the plastic wand setup. Metal wand setup on the Classic is so much better.

Good idea, but Aerus's franchise system and training program need to be overhauled or restored--as the case may be--before it can be successful in being a leader in the industry as it used to be.
As it is, franchises are few and far between and vary greatly in the quality of customer service as a result of a weak training program. In many situations the customer's needs and wants are secondary to the salesperson's pocketbook. Manipulative tactics are used instead of promotional tactics that show the advantages that Aerus products have over the competition (perhaps because they are lacking or non-existent). In addition, Aerus machines are over-priced in many situations along with being diverse from one home to another based on the customer's ability to negotiate a deal.
I might add that Aerus hasn't even included the commercial canisters on its product history charts, so one wonders if they have even kept any of their schematics or molds for them; they'd likely have to start from scratch instead of merely revising which would increase production costs.
Moreover, there are many other machines in the market that are equally effective at cleaning or superior to the cleaning of Aerus products, so customer familiarity and/or loyalty to the Aerus brand name in the North American market is meager. That is why I don't perceive Aerus would have enough capital to even manufacture--let alone sell in profit-making quantities--the machine that you described.
That's unfortunate, because such a canister would have the potential to help put Aerus on the map.
