Electrolux 1453 Power Nozzle issue

Hi, Not sure what's wrong with the power nozzle. It stops and goes randomly while vacuuming even a low pile rug. I can't see any obstruction. I've disassembled it, and all looks fine to the naked eye.
Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong?
I've owned this for over 40 years, and it's been going strong all this time!
Thanks.

That's my childhood vacuum. Still one of my favorite vintage machines out there.

It’s most likely the hose not making good conection with the wand, have you replaced the hose recently or at all since you originally bought it? Not sure where you live in ct but I know the good and bad shops that can help you out.

Have you checked the connection where the handle and the wand meet? Also maybe try replacing the cord that is within the wand sheath. If you the hose handle was removed from the wand without shutting of the power nozzle it can cause damage to the electrical connections.
