This is the Model G I have had for sale now for along time. It runs fantastic and has great suction! Has an outlet for a pigtail In fact I have run other PN's off of it for fun. If anyone knows of someone that wants one I have this one only for $50

Hans, What makes the tan G more powerful? Is it any louder than the turquoise G? I know the hospital Gs must be very near silent. I used a turquoise G once and was impressed with how quiet it was. Thanks. | ||

Re Early power nozzle..with single cord. Tom has one because he got it from me about 15 years ago!! The tan G motor is not that different in appearance except it has red plastic brush holders instead of black, its not much noisier, but it sure is stronger. | ||

Bronze G motor
Like Hans has said, the bronze model G's carbon brush holders are different, and the armature is wound with more copper and more commutator segments. Put simply, it has more RPM's (and so, more suction) than the turquoise G. You can fit a bronze G's armature into a 1205 motor, but you can't fit a turquoise G's armature into a 1205 motor.

Electric Hoses for Model G's
The Electric Hose was made to match both the Turquoise as well as the bronze model G's. The matching one for the Bronze model is something I've seen in person but do not have. The prominent red tracer was on both color variations. These were sold in 1967 - 1968. They were made in Canada for the U.S. but were not U.L. approved. There were apparently only a few shipments made. The telescopic wand for our model 1205 was made in Canada as well as the first pistol grip electric hoses for the model 1205. Once Electrolux was acquired by Consolidated Foods, they had enough capitol to begin making their own electric hose - which was the one with the curved end and double plug-in's.

First Elux Power Nozzle
This is a shot of an Automatic F with the original Power Nozzle. The power nozzle was introduced in 1959, one year before the Model G launched. At launch of the model G, the power nozzle's bumper changed to turquoise color, but the single piece cord and three plastic clips were still there, until 1962.
What makes THIS set up so great, is that the power nozzle can be entirely removed from the cleaner, just like any other attachment. You are not forced to move around the wiring for the power nozzle if you want to do your car. Brilliant. I wish that today, we didn't have to deal with the weight of an electric hose, and all the wiring in the wands, not to mention the electric hose handles that are too big to clean your car with. Simpler is better.

I have a factory rebuilt model G with the metal tag affixed. I love it. Both it and my model 89 are the two most used vacs in the house. Both are quiet and they roll around on the hard floors effortlessly. Plus bag changing is a snap. You can't get much easier. | ||

Model G hose cord trivia When they went from plastic clips to rubber straps there was a 'button hook' type tool for them.The metal loop and plastic handle with 'Electrolux' molded on were both about 1 1/2 in for a overall lenth of appox 3 in.Many salesmen would carry on ring type key chains. | ||

Model F So the power nozzle was not introduced until the second version of the model F with the doughnut style cord winder? My earlier version with the swing open type cord winder does have a power nozzle port but that must have been added aftermarket... | ||

That's correct. The PN-1 Power Nozzle wasn't launched until April, 1959. Electrolux had tooled up the factory to build their own cord winders as well as the Power Nozzle. Many salesmen would carry the top trim piece with the receptacle for the Power Nozzle cord - with them. It was a simple, easy job (a few minutes) and they could then sell a Power Nozzle to a customer with an Automatic E or F. What a great source of additional commission. When delivering bags, show the Power Nozzle and it's a sure sale.
I have two nice model R's, one of them in the original box. The first one (lower serial number) has the matching Automatic F attachments. The hose tracer is different slightly from the Automatic F and it's somewhat shorter (maybe by six inches). It was sold in 1960. I have a 1961 Model R, and while it has the identical hose as my other model R, it does have model G attachments. They look odd. But I can understand why the factory would use them - the R was the economy model and the model L was well underway for it's 1962 launch - the L would use the same tools as the G. | ||

Thank you Tom! Thanks for clearing that up. By the way- awesome job at the vacuum museum. I visited last summer. Sadly, you weren't there that day but your collection is simply breathtaking. | ||

While the museum is open six days per week, I only work five of them. If you'll send me a private email I can always let you know my schedule. I really enjoy meeting with fellow collectors. The general public just listens to me talk - fellow collectors are actually interested in the machines themselves.

Coincidence Coincidentally, I bought my first model G today. It is blue and I just stumbled across it at the vacuum shop today. It sounds perfect. It's my new favorite lux!

Tom, Re: Reply #30...Please post pics of your Model Rs or send me a link. I am also interested in pics of the original-colored attachments if you have them. I would like to obtain the latter for my Model R someday.

Tom what power nozzle did the first R come with? Was it the last of the grey af nozzles or did they start out with the white? Also I have a very light grey almost dirty white pn1 with a bright white bumper and a light grey one peice sheath but it's one made after 1962 as it has the reset and etc. What was it used for, I thought maybe just a replacment?
ps as ive told you before, I love that af pn1!!!!!!!!! A dream machine indeed | ||

The locking ring was supposed to come with your genuine Aerus pigtail electric hose. The electric hose for the model G (both color variations) was launched right as Electrolux was bringing out the model 1205, and was sold until the initial supply from Canada was exhausted. They were not UL approved, and no other shipment came to the USA. Canada made our telescopic wands for the 1205 as well as the electric pistol grip hose handle.

 ~ Here are photos of my Model R. I agree with Tom that the first Rs had F-color trim and attachments and when the G first came out the colors were switched to those of the G with the exception of the hose. Both versions of the R had the same hose which was different from both the F and G. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux137's LINK | ||
