Hi allisonok:
Welcome to Vacuumland. You got a very nice model G. The Cordwinder can be fixed. I have several earlier models. As to the G, it dates back to the early 1960's. Personally, I avoid using the cordwinder due to their age. I keep mine fully coiled and use an original Electrolux cord to suply the power. The problem with the early cordwinders is that the coil spring tends to get sprung rendering the winder inoperable. And you don't want to repair that spring as it's razor sharp. As to the winder for the G, they can be easily replaced. And I agree with Andy, Nathan can do that for you. All you need now is the correct hose and you're in business. Hoses are a dime a dozen on Ebay. Happy New Year, Alex Taber. |

The front wheels on the Model G are non functional, the castor underneath is what the front end really rides on. Yours being one of the early model G's should have the plug for the power nozzle at the bottom of the front door. On the later model G they moved the front wheels back a little and put the plug for the power nozzle on the side underneath the vacuum just in front of the wheels.
