Hi suckolux
1930's right, that rug tool's not good for removal of pet fur! But the problem's not the tool, rather it's the carpets. In 1937, when that tool was designed carpets were paper thin, and the Electrolux factory had a cat named Sarah, that used to roll on the test carpet, and her fur was vacuumed up. It worked great back then. Today however, this tool's unable to get pet fur, and the gleaner's no help either. I use the bare floor brush, or a rug/floor tool from a 1205. As a last ditch effort, use the upholstry tool on the end of the wands.
The P.N. would work, but I wouldn't want to see him alter that great XXX. Once that machine's polished it'll look great. We need to give him a look at the instruction book.
