Electrolux model G

[Real1]

"Oh well, dosent really matter,,the Model G is an awsome cleaning machine no matter how it is! Definatly Electrolux at its best!"

Well it does really matter when one is trying to get a perspective on model runs and the differences. Especially since I was told the turquoise Jetson G's are the early models and the bronze models are the later ones.

But as I said, all four turquoise G's (two I own and the others were offered to me) are identical; PN port on the right just ahead of the front wheel and no bumper on molded power cords.

Model G differences.

From 1960 thru 1962, The Turquois G had a Belden plug with the bumper, the power nozzle outlet was under the hose, also the power nozzle on the first Gs had a long cord with plastic snap clips , when you attached the power nozzle you had to attach the cord to the hose all the way to the machine,they changed this fairly early on, to the more familiar short cord at the wand end and the outlet attached to the hose by a snap clip, the first of this style still used the plastic clips to attach the cord to the hose, this was changed about 1962 to the more common rubber straps. Also, the power nozzle before 1962, has no clean out port on the bottom, as well as no re set button.After 1962 Electrolux began making there own cords, they also moved the wheels back slightly and put the outlet for the PN on the side...About the only difference in a tan G and a Turquois G is that the tan G while using the same 535 watts, is much more powerful, the motor was redesigned and there really is a big difference.

Thanks Hans!

I'm glad you cleared that up for inquiring minds! I never new the motor in the tan G was tweaked and more powerful. Now, I have to find my suction meter and test my machines. Does this also mean the tan L would have the tweaked motor?

So........

given all that, how long was the turquoise G made before they switched to tan? I guess I've always seen the turquoise models after '62. All the PN's I have, have the cleanout and the circuit breaker.

Interesting.....

comment on the 535 watt motor. I actually transferred my 'race horse' G motor to the canister in the best condition. Knowing the original owner (now deceased), it's very possible he put a newer tan G motor in there. I can't find any reason (so far) that my other G motor is less powerful. This would explain a lot, but I still need to go completely through the less powerful motor.

Is there a way to tell if you have the more powerful tan G motor....different brush holders, numbers etc?

Really? the plastic wand Model G power nozzles are hard to find? My Aerus dealer is covered floor to ceiling with PN-1s in great shape! If anybody wants one, Imay be able to snag one for you...

Belden cord and bumper

1962 was the last year, some time in 62 Electrolux began building their own cords.
