and not one but two :)
It really was your lucky day. Do you have a Dometic cleaner to put it on? It is perfectly possible that Electrolux my have used the same source for their PNs as Miele (be that Miele or some other source) as PNs were not as popular in Europe (and apparently particularly in the UK) as in America and Canada, so it is unlikely that there would have been sufficient volume to justify a number of different production lines. However there was a turbine driven nozzle available as an option on the TOL models called the "Turbinette", I am not sure it may have been standard issue of mid 1980s TOL models 355 & 358. Al |

Hey Guy:
The Machine pictured in that brochure is a Dometic model 245 (I have one). The turbinette was an option for it here in Canada as was the power nozzle. It was the same machine as the Electrolux 325 (which I also have) with the only difference being that the 345 didnt have an electric outlet for the PN. Interestingly enough Joe may have hit the nail on the head. The vacuum itself is made in England but the power nozzle is made in Germany. The earlier Dometic Volta machines sold in Canada also had a similar powernozzle but it had an attached plastic wand like the early Electrolux ones here. Doug |
