LUX suction

i have not compared the two myself, but model g is one of the best electrolux vacuum cleaner. it is probably one of the most sealed one for sure.
 
And....

that may be the cause of the different suctions; the G is sealed like a drum. And totally agree...the G is probably the last of the late great LUX's. Almost makes me want to try earlier models as well,  but I really have enough 'projects' on my plate. I'm done with ebay except for accessories.  Most folks just don't do honest descriptions of their vacuums (even resplendent with dirt in a bag!), but I do hunt craigslist occasionally.

Yep!

"I do hunt craigslist occasionally."

Yeah, I've been burned on eBay, too. I've taken the same approach you have - parts and accessories only.

The nice thing about Craigslist is that things are usually much more reasonably priced, and you get to look at them before parting with your cash. If something's wrong, the lower price usually compensates for it. If you have to replace a cracked handle on a 1205, for instance, it doesn't hurt nearly as much on a $10 Craigslist machine as it does on a $65 eBay one. And you got to decide whether it was worth it to you up front.
 
Exactly....

my thinking. And because you're there in person, you can usually negotiate the price if you show him things are wrong/broken.  Ebay broke me when I was buying vacuums and the sellers were sending them with their bags full of dirt. If they can't even remove a bag full of their dirt, what does that tell you?

I've not....

had either of those, but was bullied (by a lady salesperson, my mother-in-law and the wife) into buy a new Diamond Jubilee around 83/84 with all the bells & whistles.  When we split, I got the old G. Guess which one is still going?
