Electrolux canister motor will fit, say a model g, 1205, goldenj, etc. its the same motor, if its a later model, then a SuperJ or Olympia will fit . |

. Isn't it something that Electrolux wouldn't have wanted to put a more powerful motor in their commercial machines. I mean, really! The CB has a longer hose, the floor tools are wider (less concentration of suction power) and the airflow has to go through a thick cloth bag. I had a CB once upon a time, silver with 1205-blue top, and was very disappointed by the wimpy suction so I gave it away. I'm wondering if the company ever "learned their lesson" and installed more powerful machines in their later commercial models. |

I loved the Electrolux CB machine. I used one at the bank for almost 20 years. I think it had the 1205 motor. We used it for many years with a PN-1 and then upgraded the power nozzle.
Also one of the churches I played for used one for many years. It finally started showing it's age and they purchased a new model. Plastic molded tank and the L shaped power-head. (may have been from the Marquis time frame) Perfect for use in a church setting. My only complaint was it did not have the direct connect nozzle/hand grip so you couldn't use the power-mate Jr. The last time I visited as a guest organist for a funeral they were still using the newer machine (However, they trashed the MDS-26 Allen Organ...long story but they are now totally happy clappy...with a keyboard... even got rid of a perfectly good piano..but I digress) I was always amazed at how well it cleaned and how often it needed to be emptied. We used the paper filter liners in both machines. Typically we didn't notice much difference in air flow as the tank filled. Both machines were moderately quiet and provided years of service. The bank replaced their unit with a Pansonic commerical and then a central vac unit. The new custodian brought in her own vacuum once the central unit was installed. She hated the central vac with an air driven powerhead. |

They dropped the CA, it was leagues ahead of every other commercial vacuum ever made! |
