Circa 1968 (when the Model 1205 made its debut): Terrific Teal!!!! Note the red "boat-shaped" border around the 'Electrolux' letters. In the last version, around 1972, I think the border was black. |

Circa 1971 (going by the non-telescopic wand, teal PN-1, the woman's wig--popular around that time, and of course the groovy avocado green carpeting!): |

Great pictures and information. I really enjoyed looking at the photos. That green carpet is hideous though... Not because of the color...because it looks like huge bunches has been pulled out and is lying there like big green dust bunnies. |

At the time of the card in reply 15 the branches received vinyl stripes in the same colors as a border to front display windows. |

Early 1982 (another Silverado/1505-era card--note that the B-8 is featured soon to be replaced by the B-9. Oh, and look ... I wonder if the upright is the one which Philip had mentioned in reply #23?): |

Which upright model was in the #26 card, then? I thought the 1363 was only in yellow and tan. I'm guessing that it is the Model 1451. Was it gray? It's hard to tell from the card. |

Forgot to mention in reply #35 that the power nozzle is a PN-6A (which I thought went with the Regency series). Anyway, here's another Super J courtesy card: |

Thanks so much for scanning those,,have always loved looking at them.
The card that shows the Golden J, with the blue carpet, is the card the saleman left with my Grandma when she bought her Golden J in the Spring of 1976. Her machine is this exact model, with the 50th Anniversary stickers. Evidently the end of the Golden Js, before start of the selling of the Super J. Notice on the 2 cards for the Silverado Deluxe,,the first one is a first run Silverado,,the front handle behind the on/off swith is missing, and Same body style as the Super J, only in Silver. One the second card, the handle IS there, so evidently a little later production, but still in 1982,, But both cards show the same PN. |

Thank you Kevin! Yeah ive always wondered what that little graphic was meant to be on the Silverado logo too,,dont know.
Notice on the back of the card that introduces the Discovery Upright,,,they mention the "High Performance Rebuilds". I bought a rebuilt 1205 in 1986 from the Lux salesman,,it was an excellent vacuum. It was all grey hamertone with lighter gray speckles in it. I remember at the time they also had Factory Rebuilt Model Gs and Model Ls. I could have my choice. I think the 1205 was 200 dollars. This 1205 did NOT come with a PN, or power hose in the box tho,,just the standard 3 Electrolux attachments, standard hose and 2 aluminum wands. The PN and Power Hose were still considered optional equipment. I went to the Electrolux office to buy the 1205,,and asked if it came with a PN,, they said no,and wanted to sell me a NEW PN which at the time would have been the PN that went with the DIamond J,,and Power Hose for 250 dollars. I didnt have that kind of money,so the salesman sold me a used hose and PN2 for 50 dollars. Wish i still had that 1205. Traded it all for a Model LE when they came out in around 1990. Im pretty sure it was around 300 dollars. The salesman gave me 50 dollars off for the Rebuilt 1205 and PN. Shouldnt have done that, have always regretted it. That Model LE only lasted about 13 yrs. I bet that 1205 would still be going to this day. |

Thanks for the 411, Brian (#39), Francis (#40), and Ronni (#41). Cool! Good to know that the vintage machines are among Electrolux's best. Sure is a lot of background data on those cards! |

. Kevin, in order to post more than one photo in a thread you have to know how to write HTML (web page) code. I've suggested in the past that it might be a good feature for people to be able to post multiple photos at once with the Vacuumland interface, but I guess folks are afraid that people will deluge the forum with photos -- so you have to post them one at a time unless you can write your own code to do it. |
