 SERVICE BULLETIN: JULY 20TH 2014:
Greetings, From the Kenmore Restoration Facility of the south-east to our sister-facility in the great north-west!
Today's Restoration job is a nice Kenmore 2.5 Canister, in cream! However, take special note of the unusual powered-hose set-up. Since when did Kenmore run wires on the exterior of the hose?
Due to an unscheduled downpour of rain, the usual "Southern Beauty" background was dropped in favor of a plain and old blue sheet.
Let's begin! the vacuum came with no power-nozzle.

LOL Tortoise guy, Did you think I just threw the entire thing in the bath? I broke the motor down to the armature, field coil and fan assembly, first!
Forgot to add: Model no: 116 2525081 Manufactured: March 2nd 1985!
The power nozzle port is defiantly not a Jerry-Rig, it is predisposition and wired correctly as other models. The only issue I have with your theory, is that I've never seen a wired hose in cream before!
They are the same series, but later. I know because I have that Gray 4.0! I know what the numbers refer to, If I didn't I wouldn't be founder and CEO of the Kenmore South-East Restoration Facility! | ||

The original power cord and the owners manual are also still available. No cord reel is shown. Does your other one have a cord reel? | ||

Interesting machine. The PN cord wrapped around the hose was seen on these and an older body version that was made before this in the late 70s in blue and then early 80s in beige.
I have never seen any of these with a cord winder. The cord was always wrapped underneath the canister on the ones I've seen. My 1991 catalog shows the gray straight suction and PN versions mentioned, and the last Sears catalog I have from 1993 shows a straight suction version that's gray on the bottom and blue on top. The lady that used to live across the street from me in the 90s had the gray version with PN as well as a Kirby G3! That was the only Kenmore of this type I saw in person. | ||

Sounds right. The Panasonic 7200 series I linked too doesn't have a cord reel either. I think it's you vac. It may be the body casting is shared by a more delux model in that series that had a cord reel. | ||
