I think the white PN-1 went with the 'hospital' version of the model G. If things are noisy, you might need new bearings (the little bronze balls at each end of the brush roll). Fortunately, they are readily available and not expensive. In my opinion, the PN-1 is an excellent power nozzle, quite comparable in performance to just about anything on the market today. With a little TLC, it should last you a lifetime.

The pn 1 is great but I have to hunch to use it I'm 6'2 so I just use a pn 4 that's polished aluminum. |

Is correct for the turquoise G, but I just bet the huge cleaner was a C-A, the best and rarest commercial machine ever! |

had to cut up the old unit to create a brace to hold the newer part in place. There was a lot of honing on this and this isn't complete yet

some of you might recognize the part as a little bigger but basically the same. Anyway I tested it out and it works perfectly, Thanks for looking.

The CA PN 1 used 2 steel wands,each with spring clip at top.The wands would store at the sides of the attachment compartment at the upper rear with the PN hanging behind with the storage clip inserted in the brush opening. |

Hopefully the C-A was bought by a vac collector or put in a warehouse |
