Hi everyone! My beloved "Luxy" that I vacuum with everyday was loosing power a few days ago. Thank goodness I just got a Hoover Convertible for free! So, I had something to vacuum my house with! Haha! Here's some pictures of her motor all apart. The motor was cleaned really good, the bushings were oiled, and the commutator was cleaned and polished. She runs spectacular now!!! I can't wait to vacuum later!!! Yay for "Luxy"!!!! :) -Michelle

Correction to my previous post: the drain hole should be in the plastic motor shroud not the cord winder cover as I erroneously stated. Sorry for any confusion. | ||

drain holes Should also have hole in metal body between rear wheels.Was added during 1205 production.Early 1205 can have - no drain hole,6 screws on front door cover,smooth paint,no dust brush clip,metal handle,round bag lock out button,serial no on bottom of cordwinder,etc. | ||

Thank you very much for all of the wonderful information!!! I especially like your last thread post about old and newer differences in the 1205's! I have two 1205's. The one in this thread "Luxy", my husband bought for me because I loved the one my mom had. Just a month ago, my dad came for Christmas and gave me my mom's 1205, that her mom bought brand new. My mom has recently passed away, and has great sentimental value to me! His name is "Lux" and he is in dire need of restoration, which I will be doing here in the near future! I did talk with my grandma a week or so back and she was guessing she got it in 1966, but I know that they didn't come out with the 1205's until 1968, so I'm figuring that she got him the first year they came out with them!!! I do have a thread on "Lux", if you wanted to see pictures of him. What's sad is that my parents and family for the most part DO NOT care about anything vintage!!! When I just went up to my parents' farm in rural Minnesota, I found "Lux" in the garbage heap outside exposed to all the elements!!! I told my father that that isn't an option, so my dad stuck "Lux" back in the garage until he could bring him down to me. If you check out that thread and see his terrible condition; the kicker is he still runs great!!! Actually, in his current condition, runs way better than "Luxy"!!! Go figure! I do have a question though, we totally rebuilt "Luxy" and she runs great now, but we did notice that her blow hole air isn't nearly as strong as "Lux". What would cause that and how do I fix it??? Thanks again! :) -Michelle
