I acquired a new PN-6A this week, for use with my Diamond Jubilee. I also never did post a picture of my PN-2 after I polished it up. Here is a pic! Note: I added the cute little lightning bolts to the pic, because they remind me of the lightning bolts that used to appear on the old school original Electrolux filter bags!

And...

 Here's a pic of the Diamond Jubilee, which I don't think I have shown before, either. The twins are in the pic as well. I couldn't leave them out!

The Diamond Jubilee is a really nice vacuum cleaner. Great suction, very sleek and almost "retro" streamlined styling, not as noisy as a Model G but bearable. The only thing I'll say is, I like the heavier PN-2 and, if I had a DJ and carpeting, I'd use that combination. It's really just a personal preference - I'm sure the PN-6 is a great performer, but I've never cared for Electrolux's plastic-body PNs.

The PN-6A

 The PN-6A has a very, VERY stiff brushroll inside, which "propels" the unit forward when vacuuming. I actually do prefer the PN-1 or PN-2.

Charlie, I did notice that your mother uses a plastic-housed PN (PN-5, perhaps?) when you posted pics of her with her repaired vacuum right after Christmas. Which model is the one she has?

The Diamond Jubilee is a good vacuum, and has great suction, although I know in comparison to its predecessors, the motor is inferior (as Electrolux began using cheaper parts with the advent of the DJ). I may one day list it on Craig's List and spring for a Silverado to replace it. But, then again, what's the difference? If the motor dies in the DJ, I can put a Super J motor in it as a replacement.

I'm not sure which model Mama's is, other than it is the L-shaped type. I got that one for her specifically because it is lighter-weight than the metal ones.
