Well here are two different lux heads. I want to know, why were some of them featuring a large flip over side, and some of them only had a small flip over head? You know the tough spot cleaner head thing? Here are my two examples:

Hey George:

The model 65 rug nozzle you have there was the first version put out. I would assume that they decided that it was too small a cleaning area as it was soon changed to the larger one that then was used on the subsequent models. (65-80-90-91-100)

Is that an 80 rug nozzle? On my screen it looks like a dark green rather than a blue.

Hi doug, it's a dark green head that I think could be for the 80, I'm not sure, as I think the 80 was blue?
Really appreciate the info btw
George

As Doug has said, it was only the first of this design to have the small section in the middle. This was, I assume, a carry over from the more basic carpet-only tools used on the 62 and then on early 64, which had very small section for cleaning threads.

Although coverage would have been minimal, I think for cleaning threads it was possibly adequate. I think the change was probably more to do with the overall weight of the floor tool, as this tool was very heavy and would possibly require a good deal of dexterity to keep the tool in the upturned position on the tools with the smaller section.

Hi George:

If its Dark Green it would be for the model 100 but I have never seen one, even in adverts with a green nozzle. All the ones I've seen have been white like the one on mine below. May be a fairly rare piece.

Hey James:

Thanks. I wouldn't mind but I just haven't the time to do it or the money. At this point it would have to be redone totally and, as I am not great with a computer, it would take way more time than I have to get it done. Someday possibly but it wont be in the near future.

Doug
