Well, maybe. You could try it, but your best bet is to get a new hose.
IF you are not fussy about Genuine parts,,you can get a generic replacment hose for your DJ for under 50 dollars on E-Bay. Or, ask at your local vac shop for a used saran hose. Anything would be better than what you have now! Those original woven hoses were notorious for wearing out and leaking suction. | ||

As Richard said, you can use Plasti Dip to coat the inside of the hose to make it airtight. There have been previous threads where the latexing process is described step-by-step. I have have used liquid latex on one of my woven hoses with good sucess. Dave Kerr (AeolianDave)has posted his latexing procedure here & that's the one I have used. I found the liquid latex at Hobby Lobby in the model train section.
By the way Richard, hello to a fellow Kansan from down the road in Salina. | ||

Or.... you can use 'crystal clear' heat shrink tubing to seal the entire hose forever. Probably no stiffer than the new LUX hoses.....

Olympia hose color Mainly beige; but the "tracer" (lines that spiral the length of hose, not counting the pistol grip handle or the "cup" thing) is brown. There was also a beige hose with brown "tracers" that has a curved metal wand like the 1205/Golden Jubilee hose | ||

How can I remove the curved metal wand or pistol grip of a non-electric hose without breaking the pistol grip handle? | ||

You will see a small ring on the end of the metal wand or pistil grip where the hose swivels. You will need to very very carefully get ahold of the end of the ring and pry it out very carefully. | ||

Could someone post a video of the Plasti Dip procedure? I am a visual learner. Thanks. | ||
