So when the wheel is set to number 1 or coarse dirt, it has a higher sensitivity than when it is on fine dirt or number 6?

the lower number is more sensitive. coarse dirt will fill a bag quicker than fine dirt

Elusive EH-4?
I got this brand new genuine Electrolux EH-4 when I got the 1205 along with the original hose. But I can't find another one anywhere! All I can find are the generic aftermarket ones. If I wanted to get another one of these, where do I look?

You can try eBay or you can get one from aerus. Genuine new hoses cost over a hundred bucks.

Perstistent PN-1 problems
I took off the thread cutters on the new PN-2 brushroll that I put in, but the belt smell and noises are still there. I took a video of it so we can more easily find the problem. The only thing I can think of to do now is take my pocketknife and cut off the bristles that hit the rug guard.

Hi, Clayton. If you would prefer a hose with a switch id consider swapping my generic hose with a switch for that genuine hose. Also that brushroll just wont work. you need a pn1 brushroll so you dont wear out the motor

Hi, Vacuumlad,
Okay, thanks for the information on the brushroll. I don't have a PN-2, but will this brushroll work in one without the thread cutters, or are those necessary too?
Sorry, not getting rid of my genuine Lux hose.

Get the right brush roll
My PN-1 had a PN-2 brush roll in it before I replaced it with a proper PN-1 brush roll last spring. If I recall correctly, the PN-2 brush roll was ever so slightly longer and thus fit more snugly in the PN-1 and has no side-to-side play. The PN-1 brush roll has a bit of side-to-side play in it but performs a helluva lot better.
Go ahead and get the right brush roll. You and your power nozzle will be happier in the long run. Besides, they aren't terribly expensive--and a whole lot less expensive than replacing the motor. Here's one on eBay for $16.99 with free shipping:

Thanks for the info
I'm still learning my Electroluxes. I want to get more of them. In the past, I have passed up several really good deals on Electroluxes, and I regret not getting them. But now, I buy every Electrolux I see. I currently have a XXX, an E, a Turquoise G, a Tan G, two 1205's, a Super J, and a Diamond Jubilee. This 1205 and the XXX is the only complete ones, but I'll look and I might be able to cobble a set of attachments for the J and Diamond Jubilee. I still need to get a new cord and hose for the XXX, though.

Thats fine on the hose. The bristles on the pn2 brush are too long for a pn1, as well as the roller brush is too wide

Super J
I got this machine at a flea mall many years ago and decided that it was time to clean it up and enjoy it. So today, I liberated it, gave it a good clean up, and put it to work. The PN-4 worked flawlessly on our shag carpet. I used to have all the attachements, but unfortunately, they were lost in a move 4 years ago. I'd like to get a set of attachments for this lovely machine again someday. I used my new genuine Electrolux EH-4 instead of the original chevron brown woven EH-4 which I do still have. The suction on this machine is absolutely incredible. With a HEPA bag installed and a new non leaky hose, this thing is unstoppable.

One minor problem with the Super J is that when I bought it, the carry handle had come loose and was taped onto the machine. The same day, I took it to the (now defunct) vacuum store, and the nice man there fixed it for me at no charge. But now, his quick repair is starting to crumble. The more I use this machine, I see more hairline cracks in the plastic. If (when) it breaks, perhaps I'll just super glue it or something.
I have seen many SuperJ top pieces with the handle on ebay.
Since it is easy to remove (and relatively light), it is one of the more common parts from the SuperJ available.
Even one that is rusted would be a candidate, you just need the handle.
The top cover is made of different pieces that screw together.

Electrolux Diamond Jubilee
I was at an estate sale a few weeks ago, and I scored a Bronze Model G and a Diamond Jubilee with attachments all for $15. I just got through cleaning the Diamond Jubilee, which wasn't all that much fun considering how absolutely filthy it was. I have the PN-5, but it is too far gone. The motor is locked up and the plastic is cracked everywhere. I think I have a spare in the storage unit. I may consider selling this machine. Anyone know a good price for one of these complete?
