This one turned out nice! Can't stop looking at it. Been working on two 1205's and a Silverado for months and finally completed all this week while on vacation. This PN2 was so bad when I got it. I wish I had taken more before as well as after pictures. So happy to finally have it working and looking like new.

Rebuilding the PN2
This was a lot of work and a lot of fun. I still can't believe how bad this unit was. I was able to save the motor with a lot of tlc and forced air. Brushes were actually good. Replaced everything but the actual base. It works and sounds fantastic! To me nothing like that Electrolux PN sound! Love it!

Kevin
I found a lot of these parts from an awesome guy at Vac Sew Center. Great parts and an honest good guy. Can't say that about some others I came across. Some came from Ebay and a few came from various vendors that I found after hours and hours and hours of web searching for exact items. A lot of phone calls too. I almost got put off with the whole thing as I got quite a bit of attitude from quite a few people offering services. Then realized it was about my hobby and what makes me happy. People that know it all don't. I like good real people. Beware especially of vendors that want you to order and can't even tell you if it is an available item.:)
