Electrolux pn 1 versions

[kloveland]

I'm working on making one nice PN 1. I noticed the other PN 1 I have only has one support bar in the middle. Was this the commercial model? With the four row brush? Or was it just an early version?

Never mind.

I can see where the additional two bars were removed.

Never seen that baseplate. Maybe it was off the CA or Hospital-G? I have some 3 row PN-1 machines, but with the regular base.

One thing

It does not have the clean out port, so it was made before 1962,
