I lucked up floor-a-matic.......
.......and found it on Ebay about a year ago. I was so lucky that it was in MINT condition and was able to disinfect the inside and use heated air to immediatley dry it with no damage. I think it is too bad that Electrolux did not include these wands with all of the units. I have fond memories of the cord coming off the sheath, but was always pinching my hand and was more awkward to connect than the direct connect. You are right about the hoses being costly costly. You'll find a telescoping wand.

Has inspired me to get my 1205 fully restored to mint condition! INCREDIBLE looking machine you got there and I saw your 1205 thread, too. Very nice work.
I've got a proposition for you - any chance you could restore my 1205 for me for appropriate pay?
I sent you an e-mail

Thank you Koobam !
Thanks for the kind words. It is very satisfying when you work on one of these yourself. As long as you have the basics of a good canister and nozzle, smaller parts are readily available and it is a lot of fun to order things and have them arrive to replace say a handle or a wheel, a wand or cord, etc. I personally don't have a shop equipped for dent removal or larger proper painting, and think these great vacuums should not be shipped if it can be avoided, but certainly appreciate the offer. Thank you very much ! I have tips that have helped me such as using Clorox wipes to clean off paint marks and stains and using a Magic Eraser to get plastic and matte trim such as guards looking fresh, using automotive wax to bring the luster back to aqua platic trim and metal polish to brighten and shine metal body and nozzle pieces that have no deep sratches. It really is a personal enjoyment. Would love to have my own shop. You never know

Why don't the newer Electrolux metal tank electrified hose have "TOP" marked on machine end coupling like the old hose did?
Tyler,
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Your 1205J looks incredible--great purchase and polishing job!</span>
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I am wondering what the original attachments and hose colors were. I have seen ones on Ebay with a gold cloth hose and cream-colored attachments--with no accent colors. It is possible that the hose came from a gold Model L, too.</span>
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I didn't realize that the PN for the machine also had a "50th Jubilee" decal on it. Do you happen to know if the Super J's PN had a "Super J" decal on it?</span>

Great question Erik !
I know the hose will work when inserted either way. Most of the generic new hoses to fit Electrolux have the words "patent pending" but not "TOP" as on the original braided hose. I have researched this to no avail. Would like to find more info on the subject. My original 1205 manual mentions about inserting with care to make sure the "TOP" is inserted up as well.

Thank you Paul !
The 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee was model 1210. The original attachments were a white with a beautiful white braided hose with gold and turquoise braided accents. Not sure about the gold hose you saw. I have never seen a Super J with a decal on the PN 4 that came with them, but it would have looked good. Salesmen had extra 5oth Anniversary decals for the PN 2 so it's not completely impossible. Thanks again for the compliment.
Below is a link to a video of someone taking an apparently NIB never used Golden Jubilee out of the box. It shows all the original beauty of this great Electrolux.[this post was last edited: 4/24/2013-21:30]

Hey Paul;
the 1205 hose was blue with a white tracer, blue parts
1205J (or golden Jubilee) hose was white with blue and gold tracers (the reason for this was that the Blue model L was still being sold so the hose pattern could be used with it too - hence the blue) white parts. Early pn2's still had the dark blue elbow then it was changed to white to match the vac.
1401 (Super J) 1st hose was white with blue and gold tracers same as the GJ, then they changed to yellow/gold with white and blue tracers. White parts. The first PN4's had a chrome cover while the last of the run had a gold cover.

<span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Also, I thought the Golden J's model ID was 1205J--not 1210. Can you shed some light on that one?</span>

Great topic Paul. Electrolux 1205/1210
When looking up various parts and history, model 1210 is specified even though the motor and a few other parts is shared with the model 1205. I'm sure model number 1210 was denoted due to other differences from model 1205 such as trim. 1205 J is a new designation for me. You can do a search of model 1210 and find parts, and I included a history link below. The inside stamp on my Golden Jubilee says just model 1205 so go figure. Great machine!

Tyler,
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Thanks for your reply #75, although I don't know if you clarified or mystified the topic--LOL! Maybe it became easier--after the fact--for the model's designation to become 1210 just to keep the 1205 and Golden J more easily identifiable.</span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Also, I appreciate the related photos and history link. </span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Yep, your Golden J sure is beautiful--no matter what its model ID!</span>
