Nice machine! Good for you. You will love that Lux "G". Many people believe that it was Electrolux at it's best! I see you have Comcast.....so do I. Thanks for sharing! Rick |

The bronze G with PN-1 and hose I got via ebay was 60 bucks with shipping a month ago. In turquoise I paid 20 for one 3 years ago at a thrift store with a decent hose. |

My wild guess based on all the G's I have seen is only a few percent are bronze |

The Tan G is more rare than the turquoise G. It was made approx. 1967-1968 and then the 1205 came out after Consolidated Foods acquired Electrolux and wanted a complete, "make over". As far as I know, both vacs are identical with the difference being the visable colors.
Tan G's have sold on ebay and privately for a low of around $25 to over $300. A lot depends on condition, if all tools are complete, if it has the original box and owner's manual, etc. They are a nice addition for any collector and as time marches on, I suspect we will see less and less of them. There was even a Tan G Hospital model. Charles Richard Lester has one and has pics on his web site of it. If you have not visited his web site and seen his pics and text, you should definately take a look. Charlie W. |

You have the plastic cover on right. The "pristine" one here is a different wand set up than what u have. In that it is entirely a plastic wand from the power nozzle neck all the way up to the top. It is rare to find one of these because they cracked and were easily broken.
Great catch though, they are excellent vacuums. Robert |

What an amazing find! Congratulations!! That is one beautiful machine and such an iconic model for Electrolux. You certainly are a very lucky guy!
I never really took notice of the original PN1 set up with the full length plastic wand, I was used to the metal bottom wand with the upper wand sheath. Its funny how now electrolux wands are completely plastic once again. Im not head over heals for the new plastic wands but I dont hate them either, its just a shame they couldnt find away to keep that extra set of light weight metal wands for bare/above floor cleaning. There is nothing easier to use than an older Lux with the two sets of wand, you can clean the carpet (PN wand is direct connect for most) and switch to bare floors with the slightest of ease and the wands are so very easy to use for above the floor cleaning. My Diamond Jubilee has this traditional set up and it really is nice having the two seperate dedicated sets. Who wants to be bothered with disconecting the power nozzle from the wands? Its kind of a shame that with most of the modern Lux canisters all we have are the heavy plastic ones. And we can only wish that the new units could be as quiet as the Model G or L canisters! |

Many of these vacs are rusted internally, and sanding and painting makes them useable again |
