I had a PN4A and remember having to lightly pry the sections apart after removing the two metal plate screws. Wish I had one in front of me to help right now. If you can get the chrome sole plate off a PN2 you can do anything. I attached a cool link anyway :)

Tyler: Thanks for the link - I'll try the pry. By the way, folks - the new machine has a name now. She's Goldielux. :) | ||

Pic of a PN2 I restored might help too :)
I remember having to figure out how to get the top and bottom separated on the PN2 as well as the PN4 and the two screws were all securing tightly together. The rest was all axles and dirt that had fused it together. I would take the precaution of removing the screws from the underside and top of the wheel assembly on the PN4. Wish I had saved the pics now.

PN2 vs. PN4A (good and bad)
I've had a PN2 for a while and just recently acquired a PN4A. They're quite comparable to one another in terms of performance and design, the PN4A being a simplified version of its predecessor. Comparing the two, there are some things that are improved and some things not so much. It's great that the PN4A has a permanently attached cord. There's really no reason for it to be removable as it is on the PN2. Mine doesn't have the retainer clip and does come out from time to time, mainly when I'm wrestling it in or out of the closet. On the other hand, it's unfortunate that they did away with the inner motor cover. When I opened up my PN2 the first time, and took that cover off, the motor was amazingly clean. By comparison, the PN4A's motor was heavily caked with dust and dirt. I've already ranted about the PN4A's scratched up paint, so I won't belabor that point further.

Great point human
My PN4A motor was also caked in dirt. I think the motor cover was a good idea as well. I remember getting a nasty shock from a PN4 that was visibly arcing as a kid. Maybe Electrolux figured since the PN4 had a painted cover that the added protection was no longer needed. But then my PN1 with the plastic cover also has a motor cover. Or just production cost saving.
