I think Panasonic makes those floor brushes for Centec, along with Hayden, Kenmore and several others. The same head was sold with Panasonic branded vacuums. Mine is made in Mexico. Outer skins vary a little but underneath everything is the same. They are identical underneath to a couple of decades of the Kenmore Powermate.
So the low voltage lines operate a relay that switches the vacuum motor on and off and there is a separate circuit that I take it is always hot to power the floor brush? Hmmm. No way to adapt that to a canister vacuum. Bummer. I was looking for ways to make hoses for my old straight hose Kenmore canister vacs but this isn't going to be the solution.
