Yay!
Brad, your Electrolux Golden Jubilee looks really nice! Good job on the restoration! Now, just be sure to use the JohnnyVac or Perfect Type C HEPA Cloth bags in it so it stays nice & clean inside
. Enjoy cleaning your home for many years to come with your Golden Jubilee

PS- If you haven't already changed your motor's carbon brushes, it might be a good idea & order some & set them aside for when it's needed. After all, that motor would have seen LOTS of use since it was made in the 70's, & will probably be due for new brushes soon. I do believe Tip Top Parts has the Super J & 1205 carbon brushes listed in their catalog.

A polished metal powered floor brush. Wow! That is just beautiful.
I second the recommendation to use HEPA bags. On a couple of my restored vacs, just half a bag of vacuuming using a paper bag left a fine film of dust in the bag and motor compartments. Field strip and clean! No good. Using a HEPA bag solves that. Yeah, it's like throwing a five dollar bill in the garbage with your dust but I suck it up now. I have one working HEPA Q bag I use in all of my Kenmore canisters that use that bag, swapping with a clean bag as I run through the rotation. It's in the white 12A Whimpertone right now. Ditto the 5033 bagged machines where I use Numatic Henry bags ( they fit! ).
You can look at the brushes. I do on every vac I refurbish, but so far I have only had to changes brushes on two of the twenty something vacs I have refurbished. Most people either tire of a vac or beat them to a pulp and abandon them long before they are truly worn out. The vac I posted the refurbishment of yesterday, that cream colored Kenmore 4.1 was beat, even the wheels were missing and one wheel mount damaged from dropping, but when I measured the extended length of the brushes, more than 85% of the brush was remaining. The motor is barely worn even if the vac itself was hammered. However, for the sake of knowing what you have it's worth the time to take the motor out and have a peek at the brushes and blow it out with some compressed air (and be ready for the dark cloud of old dust that will come out, heh, heh, heh, you don't know where that old vacuum has been).

I would ask Gr8DaneDad. He is the resident Electrolux expert/parts source and an all around good person to deal with.

Brad, you can order the JohnnyVac HEPA Type C Electrolux bags directly from any vac shop that deals with JohnnyVac for their parts & supplies. They also stock the Perfect HEPA Type C Electrolux bags as well, although they cost more money. Maybe you could order 1 pack of JohnnyVac bags & 1 pack of Perfect bags, & see which one you like better??
As for a dealer, you could contact Scott Arkell, "piano god" here on Vacuumland....I do believe he deals with both Tip Top Parts & JohnnyVac....send him a message thru his email or thru his Facebook profile with the JohnnyVac part numbers you need & he would probably order them for you. I have also included a link to evacuumstore.com, they carry a 100 pack of HEPA cloth bags for only $100 dollars USD. That works out to $1 a bag, so you can't go wrong with that price! And also a link to the Super J carbon brushes on Tip Top Parts....12 says "Electrolux 1205 AP" but I assure you they are for the Super J motors as well.
