Charles Richard, When you have an opportunity, could you show us the brushroll from either the Hospital Tan G or the Hospital Turquoise G? I convinced my mother we needed the Hospital Turquoise G and she traded in her regular Turquoise G for it. I remember one of the big selling points was the brushroll had three rows of chevron brushes as opposed to the standard two rows. I still have a Power Nozzle with a three row brushroll. The brushes are horsehair and in reasonable good shape. I was told that the three row brushroll was too much torque on the P/N motor and they would burn out too fast. My mother traded in the Hosital G for a 1205 so we did not have this problem. Shortly after the Hospital G was discontinued, the three row brushroll was very hard to find and then quickly disappeared. If you can provide a photo, it probably would be of interest to our readers. Thanks! | ||

Charles........ I've got a P/N with the 3 row brushroll and will shoot and post it later today. I'll see if I can put it next to a 2 row brushroll P/N so the difference will be visable. To the best of my recollection, the P/N that came with the Hospital G was in the regular turquise G colors. There was an optional longer hose but mother got the regular length. She had the vacuum till approx. 1970 and then got the 1205 at my urging. Little did I know.................. | ||

Well, I took the pics yesterday but am only getting around to posting them today. I didn't know that Lux made those extra long hoses for all those other models. I knew that the commercial vacuums offered the longer hoses. Was the Hospital G intended for commercial use or was it made for the home with allergies? The filter on the exhaust end was really not that spectacular by today's standards. I loved the color combination and the upgraded brushroll---it worked wonders on wall to wall wool carpet and the oriental rugs. Here are the pics. In the first one, you can see the proximity of the rows in the brushroll is much closer on the P/N with the turquoise roller in the bottom plate.

Flipped over
One P/N is very early with no clean out plate on the bottom, (2 row brushroll), and the other is a later model with the clean out plate, (3 row brushroll). The early one also does not have the circuit breaker for resetting when the brushroll gets jammed and you can see that is only says, "Electrolux", on the hood. Later the words, "Power Nozzle", were added. Even the style of block print is slightly different. Charles, are there other differences I am leaving out?
