Older Model Electrolux Vacuums
I totally agree, the older metal model of Electrolux's are built a lot better. At Cain's Carpet Care, my place of employment, I use my old tan Lux model G, to vacuum the front offices 3 days a week. I must say that old dude is still going strong! I clean a lot of the expensive oriental wool rugs, as well as upholstery, and just this last week we got in some denim couches (I call them Blue-Jeans Couches), that had white cat hair all over them! I hooked up my old model Tan Lux G with the power head and it removed all the cat hair! Needless to say I was pretty impressed, as was my boss. Quite often we get rugs that have dog or cat hair all over them, and that old Electrolux does an excellent job of removing the cat or dog hair!

The models G, L & 1205 are great Electrolux vacs. Even the 1956 Thrift model T is nice lookin too.
Why did the 1205s have problems with the cordwinder "terminal block" contacts? Were the Golden Jubilee cordwinders improved?

SuperJ and Golden J
The power nozzle was the only difference I know of, the Golden J as well as the late 1205 had the PN2 which is my all time favorite, the SuperJ had the pn3 which is the one with 2 wheels at the rear, I dont care for it,the 1205 cordwinder issue was fixed sometime in the middle of the 1205 production, Charles or Alex would know the dates, the problem was the contacts were supposed to "plug in" the problem was they would vibrate and arc, creating heat, then the plastic block they are mounted on would melt, the later ones had leads that plugged into proper connectors.
