I came across this Electrolux while browsing online this evening and I must say it has me stumped. I have emailed the seller for clarification, but I thought I'd post it here too and see what you all think about it. To me, the body looks like that of an Olympia One (with the brown paint color), but the top and bag door cover are that of a Super J. The hose looks like an original Super J hose, and the power nozzle looks like an older one that may have come with a 1205 and has been repainted. What do you all think?

Elux The first Olympia had that body with smaller rear wheels later changed to bigger wheels and thicker bumper.The power nozzle is a PN-2 that always had a polished top.This was probably a vac store rebuild taking advantage of interchangability of parts and painting it in current colors. | ||

Judging by the pictures of the vacuum and the hose it is a painted brown 1977-1978 Super J, one of the later ones. The power nozzle is a 1973 PN2 painted brown, it is an earlier generation PN2 judging from the color of the elbow. | ||

@sarasvacshack
Lloyd, I kind of thought it seemed a little strange that the entire vac was soaking wet in the photos. Last time I checked, electricity and water just simply don't mix. I don't know who the seller is, but they don't appear to know much about it or care for that matter, otheriwse it wouldn't have been hosed off. I'm sure not spending $90 plus shipping for something that will be rusted down by the time I'd receive it!
