I can't believe I saw an early electric hose on eBay! Are these hoses rare? I know the listing already ended. CLICK HERE TO GO TO floor-a-matic's LINK on eBay |

Yes, this hose IS rare. It was probablly made during the era of the Model 1205 (1969-1974), as its blue and white, in the colors of the 1205.
The only problem with a woven hose this old is that they were/are prone to being very leaky after awhile, even tho they may look like brand spanking new, and are pretty to loook at, they can leak suction like a seive. Even to the point of being totally worthless as far as actualy using it for vacuuming with. These woven hoses were also very stiff, rigid and hard to manage and use. Much better to have a newer vinal hose. Much more user friendly. |

The one from an eBay listing (not mine) Was there a version that had an ON/OFF switch for the PN? |

The other one (not mine) If anyone has one that they no longer want, I'd like to have one. Several years ago, when I was a kid (around 1986) I once had this style hose; sadly it broke & got thrown out. :( |

The style hose on white Mo L above never had on/off switch(but many generic replacements did).I think at one time The Canadian tanks(great vacs)had a trigger switch but are rare this far south. |

What was the problem with the very early electrified hoses that didn't sell well? I thought those were heavy-duty hoses made to last? |
