Getting out some of my spare motors to look at ( I'm guessing you don't care about the model XI or XII motor) for some reason I can't find my spare G motor at the moment.
The late model XXX (1949 and later) motor and the LX, LXI, E, AE, AF are all basically the same motor the only difference is the way the capacitor is mounted to the rear frame. The XXX used a flat capacitor that went into a space on the lower arm of the bearing support, the LX, etc. the capacitor was round and just clipped on. Some of these had a rubber shock mount clipped to motor and riveted the suspension ring (XXX) The G used the same motor but had a different mounting ring, I think it used 4 studs from the bulkhead rather than 3. Somewhere in the G series I think they changed the armature. They used the G motor in the 1205 and Golden Jubilee with a rectangular mounting ring around the motor. the 1205 and later has the motor suspended with 4 screws going from the suspension ring into the motor frame. The 1401 had the longer armature and bigger motor but still uses the 1205 mounting system. |

There was an early 1205 motor with a built in spacer on rear fan that did not do well with heavy use and was to be replaced when seen with the fan & separate spacer.Also bearing plate screws went in from motor side instead of fan side as with later. |

Electrolux motors were unique in that the bearing bridge and motor mounts and carbon brush holders were BAKELITE. The mounting rings, for the most part, all broke and very few survive today. Here's a perfect one.
