Re: Super J_Model 1401

The Super J was the king of the Electrolux "forest" with its lion-like gold color and motor "roar". As shag carpet became more popular Electrolux execs knew that cleaning required super fierce airflow (by that era's standards). Indeed, it made its predecessor, the 1205 Jubilee, analogical to Morris the Cat (the 9lives cat food mascot in commercials beginning in 1968). It was sold from October 1975 to April 1979. Hopefully you'll be able to either repair or replace your Super J's motor. It was/is one of Electrolux's finest mid-century cleaners.

I have a Super J

That I got from the flea mall years ago. When I bought it, it was complete, but after a major move 4 years ago, all that remains is the PN-2, woven hose, and Super J. I'd like to get a matching floor nozzle, crevice tool, and dusting brush. I never did use the Super J all that much, as the house I used to live in was EXTREMELY awkward and hard to use an Electrolux. But now that I have more space, I'm starting go move away from Kirby and use Electroluxes more.
