Picked this up for $5 the other day, it runs well, the hose is in great shape. Well worth the money for sure!

It cleaned up some, I'll have to do a deep scrub a lot of the rust spots were buffing off. Not sure if the rear wheels are orignal? I find these, but they have the teal wheels.

Nice score there! You can't beat $5 for a good ole reliable workhorse vacuum like a Electrolux Model L. Now all you need to do is buy a good electric hose for it, OR get yourself a straight-suction hose & install the outboard cord onto it, & a nice PN, & you will have yourself a great canister vacuum for daily use. And while you are cleaning it up, take the motor out & install some new carbon brushes. A vacuum this old would probably need new ones installed by now, & if you do so, this Electrolux should probably outlive you :-)

Ronni, I just picked up a 1205 today with a power nozzle. Its very dirty and the hose is pretty much gone, but for $10 I'm not gonna complain. However, the power nozzle sounds as though it needs work, I plugged it up to try, made a loud screeching sound. The 1205 seems to work nicely however, and the inside seems very clean.

Thanks for all the help and comments! The Aerus store is in Knoxville so I'll have to wait a few weeks before I can go there is also a pawn shop/vacuum shop just a few miles away, so I'm going to check with them on the PN. I'll get them cleaned up in a few days during the work week.
& I see you may have noticed my Jubilee back there lol |
