Charles... Does the receipt have a date on it? Perhaps after the introduction of the electric hose for the Model 1205, electric pigtail hoses were offered for the tan Model G? Just a speculation... | ||

Tan G and the hose Here is the Tan G and PN-1 and hose. The Brand New Model G that was bought here in the 1960's was in all blue/aqua trim, the hose; power unit base and tube and brush

Re: "Electric Hose" I wonder if it just denoted that it came with the power cord as the power nozzle was not a standard item at the time; so those opting for a straight suction machine would have just bought a hose without the cord? | ||

Model G Electric Hose
The Electric Hose for both color versions of the model G were made in Canada. The turquoise one was offered AFTER the turquoise G was replaced by the Tan model. The Tan G Electric Hose was offered DURING the run of the tan G. Miss Pletcher has the tan color Electric G hose in the collection.
Here is my Turquoise Model G electric hose, and it's pigtail along with tracer detail. Note the highly unusual hose end. | ||

First model 1205
The first model 1205 can be easily identified. The Automatic Control panel is black, not blue. There is no dusting brush clip. The bag "lock out" plunger was round. There is no Screen at the back of the bag compartment. There was no electric hose (not UL approved yet - but they knew it was coming) so there was BOTH the female receptacle as well as the electrified hose port opening. The Power Nozzle had a plastic one piece wand. The hose was the non-electric hose with the NEW plastic pistol grip. The 'rat run' cord was strapped onto the hose. It also had a unique instruction manual as Consolidated Foods had not yet bought the company. Once the electric hose was UL approved, and CF had purchased Electrolux, the instruction book changed, as well as the small changes to the machine. By the way, the hose they were waiting for UL approval on, was made in Canada. It would be the pistol grip electric hose with telescopic wand. The USA wouldn't make their own electric hose until 1970.

Tan model G sales Tom, You are 100% correct on your post except in Indianapolis the machines I was selling still had the regular Electrolux metal hose handle. | ||

The 1205 uses the same motor (with a different mounting set up) as the model G. However, the model G used a bag "cage", so the airflow could be drawn for the entire bag surface. The 1205's sealed bag chamber chocked off some of that airflow. The bag cage was originally an Air-Way invention. When Electrolux was designing their first disposable bag models, they had only Air-Way's model 55 to look at. While the plastic, solid bag chamber was economical, it's ironic that the matching model L (with it's plastic bag "cage") had more airflow - even though both the 1205 and the model L used the same motor. In fact, the blue model L has the distinction of having the largest bag capacity, as it was deeper than any other bag cage or chamber Electrolux had ever made. The White as well as the Tan model L's used a metal bag cage, which wasn't as deep - so the bag couldn't open up as much.

Hey Kevin
To my knowledge we didn't ever see the power hose for the model G here (although stuff did appear down east that we never saw out west so anything is possible). The strange thing is that the handgrip used on it was never used on any of our machines. I would have thought that they would have put out one to retrofit the model 88 with but our first power hose (for the model 89) used the same handgrip as the first of the power hoses on the 1205. Very strange situation with that. | ||
