The tan G has a more powerful motor than the turquoise models. I =believe= it's the same motor used in the 1205 and Golden Jubilee. Then when the Super J came out, it had a more powerful motor yet. And boy does it scream.
OOOOOHHHHH,AAAAAAHHHHHH....

plastic cover
You have the plastic cover on right. The "pristine" one here is a different wand set up than what u have. In that it is entirely a plastic wand from the power nozzle neck all the way up to the top. It is rare to find one of these because they cracked and were easily broken.
Great catch though, they are excellent vacuums.

What an amazing find! Congratulations!! That is one beautiful machine and such an iconic model for Electrolux. You certainly are a very lucky guy!
I never really took notice of the original PN1 set up with the full length plastic wand, I was used to the metal bottom wand with the upper wand sheath. Its funny how now electrolux wands are completely plastic once again. Im not head over heals for the new plastic wands but I dont hate them either, its just a shame they couldnt find away to keep that extra set of light weight metal wands for bare/above floor cleaning. There is nothing easier to use than an older Lux with the two sets of wand, you can clean the carpet (PN wand is direct connect for most) and switch to bare floors with the slightest of ease and the wands are so very easy to use for above the floor cleaning. My Diamond Jubilee has this traditional set up and it really is nice having the two seperate dedicated sets. Who wants to be bothered with disconecting the power nozzle from the wands? Its kind of a shame that with most of the modern Lux canisters all we have are the heavy plastic ones. And we can only wish that the new units could be as quiet as the Model G or L canisters!

Maybe not all bronze/tan G's use a bigger motor?
Interesting comment about tan and turq motors being different.
Here I have taken both color types apart, but really did not notice any difference, but in all fairness was not focused on subtle things.
*** Maybe not all bronze/tan G's use a bigger motor?
Here is a turq. G that was taken apart 4 years after Katrina, it got scrapped.
The bizzare thing is these vac's float. With some of my vacs during Katrina they did floated into other rooms, or just took on some water thus were repaired.

Bearing on a G is either 8 or 9mm bore
Here is the motor from my moms 1966 turq/aqua Model G, with its new 8mm bore roller skate ball bearing at 8/22/8 bearing.
A Chicago vacuum parts house lists this bearing as an 8mm bore for Late G's and 1205 and later
A Chicago vacuum parts house lists this bearing as an 9mm bore for XXX, E, F and early G's

internal rust
Many of these vacs are rusted internally, and sanding and painting makes them useable again

What is the wattage of you bronze G? mine is the SAME old 53
Wattage on my bronze G is the same as my turq G's, ie 535 watts
Both of the turq G's in this shot look about the same from an outside appearance. But one must have take on more water thus the motor area got more corrosion.
The rusted "insides" of a tank unit can be subtle, one just has a rusty smell. Cleaning them out and painting the insides was done on every vac here that got flooded.
The Model G Vac by the door had a better outside, but was the horrible rusted motor pic already shown. The "new looking" Model G motor with new 8mm bearing was full of dried mud and just soaked and cleaned in water.
At some point it is easier to scrap out a unit if common, thus the model G by the door was just stripped of its wheels and other parts and scrapped.
Most normal folks threw everything out that went under water. 4 of these 6 vacs work today. The XXX body is re useable, its motor is a basketcase, but I have a spare!
**** As far as the bronze G having a bigger motor; MY bronze model G #U59484H says 115V 535 Watts, thus I wonder since it is the same as my turq G's and older F's.
A more modern model 1521 has a larger motor and it is marked 9 amps.
Mt model 1205 is at the house, I need to look at its nameplate

All of the Pn1's came with the all plastic wand untill the 1205 and many of them were replaced? I believe that's what I read on here before. So if you have or have seen any PN1's with the plastic on the top only it was replaced.
correct me if I'm wrong.
