I have the original hose for my Electrolux '89 which has the pigtail and trigger switch on the handle. The hose leaks air and I was wondering is it possible to take the handle and machine connector ends with the pigtail off the hose and put them on a vinyl replacement hose? I remember I asked my Aerus dealer once about doing this and of course they said no way, can't be done, you have to buy a new hose. Well the new hoses don't have the trigger switch for the power nozzle which I would like to keep. Gary | ||

Gary, Dave's had good success refurbishing his leaky hoses with liquid latex, he'll probably chime in here | ||

Yes indeed. Gary. The liquid latex treatment works airtight wonders. Used it on cloth weave hoses as well as the saran weave. In fact I will soon be doing two red saran weave Electroluxs, now I have hoses all sorted out to their correct machines. There's a definite method to it for guaranteed success. There's a thread somewhere where I descibed it in detail but perhaps we should talk on the phone soon. I have free longdistance in Canada on my cellphone. Email me your contact info. Dave. | ||
