PN 2 (2 prong)

Without middle prong ground wire:

Nice Golden J there, I wish Electrolux kept making that style hose w/metal curved wand & outlet at end of handle instead of pistol grip.

The receptacle with the ground wire on it was for use with the CB as, being commercial, it all was grounded.

Doug:

This is what I enjoy so much about this group - these little mysteries are eventually explained. The ground wire prong being for the CB makes perfect sense - in fact, so much sense I'm ashamed it never occurred to me before.

Now I know what to look out for when buying PN-2s.

LOL Sandy.

Glad to be of service

Just an extra bit of trivia. There was a reason for the colour of the hoses. White was a neutral colour but, as the model L was still being produced in blue at the time the Golden J was out the gold and blue stripes in the hose reflected both machines (The same type of power hose but with different machine end connections was used with both). When the Super J came out and the L was changed to gold the hose changed to yellow.

Gold on Gold

In the lower 50, I was selling Electrolux through the tribulation and evolution of the 1205 power hose and wand designs and when the Jubilee was introduced I swooned.  The 50th sticker models, Powernozzle 2 and direct connect electric hose and wand were miraculous, the color and design flawless and the power and suction a notable improvement.  The Jubilee is my favorite square body model.  In the states the model L was painted gold but it looked cheap and didn't have the reflective gleam the blue model L of the 1205 era had.  Brad, I'm glad you're finding so many of your personal favorites.  I hope you rethink your decision to stay with the club because you are providing lively threads of great interest.

Heck yeah you should stay Brad !

We are all invaluable with experience and ideas and even when it seems a bit slow or maybe not as appreciated sometimes, there is always going to be someone else out there that can see that there are people that love vacuums as a hobby and interest and will make them realize it is ok to have this interest. If it's just a picture or a small comment, it could make a difference to someone else, especially somebody young and needing something to look to.

 

[danemodsandy]

Whaaaat?

What's this about Brad thinking of leaving?

Ya can't! Ya can't, I tell ya!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

That would be a terrible thing!

I hope/trust he'll stay and enjoy everything he can get out of this club.

Golden Jubilee Plaque

I recently acquired a Golden Jubilee plaque. It came with an Electrolux Model XII and the salesman's carrying display "board" and accessories.
Does anyone have any information on these plaques?

Thank you!
