put a new strong post card between two hoses and try to separate them when both vacuums are running. the post card stays with the stronger vacuum |

Was that $279 price for a 1205 with or without the PN? And which PN would it have been - the PN-1 or PN-2? |

I just figured out who you are, KW. Still treasure my Dormeyer Princess, and think of you often. |

The 1205 I sold last year did the same thing. The motor tone going lower for a minute or two and then coming back up. The 1205 I have now does not do it. Maybe it has something to do with the armature and temperature as it seemed to happen after it had been running for a while. Does it vibrate at 60 :)

My 1205 & Model L are doing the same thing as described above; at times the motor slows down a bit, then spins normally fine. VERY many thanks to those that post the problem/solution about this. |

My mothers 1973 newly purchased L has had the motor slow down issue since new. She would be vacuuming for about 10 minutes and the motor would literally die down with a crackle and then straighten it'self out shortly after. Sometimes I would turn it off, count to 10 and then turn it back on and it would be fine. I have had her motor apart several times, one to replace the fan end bearing and the other to run a polishing stone on the commutators. Hers does not have the brush holder issue as there is a small bump on the sleeve portion to keep them from sliding. Incidentally mom has said that the machine has been running perfect for several years now and hasn't noticed it slow down in a while.
The 2 model L's I have in my collection both have the slow down issue but none of the 1205's seem to so this seems to affect certain years mainly the early 70's motors in both L and 1205. |

@real one
vac gauges and airflow meters are valuable tools, but from what I have read you need a rpm meter, we use one all the time to make sure that motors are spinning at there correct speed. this will also be able to tell you if the motor is dipping a bit. when getting a airflow meter make sure of the range, direct air machines move more air than most can handle. also get one that can Handel a fair amount of suction. We have one system that incorporates both to give a more a curate result. Gareth |

it the same sort of device that you would strobe a pulley with to get RPM? I'll Google around and see if I can find one.... Kevin |

i have not compared the two myself, but model g is one of the best electrolux vacuum cleaner. it is probably one of the most sealed one for sure. |
