Awww Jeez, Mike!

Could there be a more lovely picture to a Canadian Electrolux fan than both 80 series PN-1s side by side...with matching telescopic wands, no less!


And to top it off, artfully posed under a smashing wall sconce against a turquoise wall.


Extra Yummy and Pic Of The Day worthy, I'd say.


Great pickins there down Windsor way for a sharp-eyed fellow, no doubt a legacy of the Auto Industry heyday both sides of the St Clair river.


I'm stoopid curious now. Does the red telescopic have an embedded PN cord channel up the back, like the green one? Or is it empty? Or what? Picture please.

The first red non-electric telescopic for 83s, 86s and 88s was a smooth all metal half aluminum construction with a sprung friction ring connection (in the manner of USA ring) also used on the floor nozzles. This was well before the changeover to the latch catch and PN-1, so wand clips would be a must. That would make it easy to detach the PN and cord for straight wand use. Simpler style floor nozzles had a push-tight fit that made the tools easy to knock off with your shoe, or fall off under vigorous vibration. But your red 89 style telescopic has the new-style pushbutton latch so familiar on the green 87/89. I don't have nor have seen red tools with the latch catch. ???


Hey Doug, which came first for the Red nozzles...the 'insert, push & twist' or the angled friction ring?


Just curious about the details.


Dave, drooling...
