LOVE IT!! What a beauty! Congrats! That is definatly my favorite Electrolux of all time. Plus yours is one of the first because of the PN plug on the hose.
I understand this hose was discontinued shortly after the first few months of the Golden J production, and they went with the pistol grip hose with the male end inside the PN sheath, doing away with the upper PN cord, which was all left over from the 1205 days. So, any Golden J with the PN connector at the top of the hose handle, like yours, has to be one of the very first Golden Js. My only gripe with this machine is the PN2 itself. I always found it awkward to have the elbow right in the middle of the PN. And,as with the PN1, there are no side openings on the rug plate to vacuum up against the wall boards or tight corners or spaces. And those original braided hoses were short and stiff, not very user friendly. Now, pair up a Golden J, or Super J,like yours, with a new hose, and PN 5 or 6,and a new bag,,and youve got an excellent vacuum! |

I for one, think the pn2 was the best power nozzle ever, the three rollers on the bottom seem to make it push easier ,and it seems to me, to clean better than the pn4.. |

Congratulations! That's a prize winner by any measure. Except for the lack of edge cleaning, I think the PN2 performs very well on low to medium pile carpeting. It's also much kinder to hand-knotted rugs than newer powernozzles with more aggressive bristles. |

Nice Golden J there, I wish Electrolux kept making that style hose w/metal curved wand & outlet at end of handle instead of pistol grip. |

Just an extra bit of trivia. There was a reason for the colour of the hoses. White was a neutral colour but, as the model L was still being produced in blue at the time the Golden J was out the gold and blue stripes in the hose reflected both machines (The same type of power hose but with different machine end connections was used with both). When the Super J came out and the L was changed to gold the hose changed to yellow.

We are all invaluable with experience and ideas and even when it seems a bit slow or maybe not as appreciated sometimes, there is always going to be someone else out there that can see that there are people that love vacuums as a hobby and interest and will make them realize it is ok to have this interest. If it's just a picture or a small comment, it could make a difference to someone else, especially somebody young and needing something to look to. :)
