In my imaginary role play, she told him she certainly did not need a new vacuum cleaner since hers was only a year old! But when he demonstrated the power nozzle and said he could adapt her E-Automatic for one, she bought one. He suggested a new hose as well, but she, being frugal-minded, kept her original hose since it was "still perfectly good."
Here are a few photos... This post was last edited 09/18/2016 at 00:37 |

The metal trim piece that I installed on the Model E-Automatic is an after-market upgrade. It comes with a cutout for a PN port, the port and the wiring.
See photos.................. |

Making what you need with what you have and the knowledge to do it. Pretty neat there. |

Good morning Mr Lester,
I have a few questions for ya. 1.Is that white sheath original for the original PN1 or would it have been grey? 2.Did the earliest of the R have any of the matching AF PN1 and attachments or did they ONLY have the turquoise? Last but not least would you happen to know where I might find a long one piece cord for the earlier PN? I love reading your Electrolux posts! I'm glad Arlee has a vacuum that he can enjoy. |

1. Of the few Model F power nozzles I've seen over the years, some had gray sheaths and some had whites ones. It may be one of those transitional design changes. I will say, the Model F that the PN1 in these photos came from was in immaculate, practically brand-new condition. So it seems unlikely that the sheath would have been replaced. See first three photos below.
2. That's a good question. The Model R came out in 1958 before the Model G, but all the ones I've ever seen (that were still in original condition) had attachments with turquoise accents. The Model R hose was unique btw, different from both Models F and G. See last three photos below.
3. Just keep looking.
