Well, the forum for contemporary vacuums states "less than 20 years old" 1996 does not seem that long ago That would make 1976, 40 years ago | ||

If your going to paint her up I recommend rustolium hammer tone gray and the power nozzle lettering can be filled in with white silicone 😀 | ||

Score!
For fifty cents, you definitely made a score. That was the last of the classic metal canisters. It'll look great all cleaned up. They're excellent, durable machines and not that hard to work on. I have a 1205 and a Super J and am quite fond of them both. If it were mine, I would just media blast the top shell of that power nozzle, polish that aluminum up and let it shine! I always thought it was a shame that Electrolux chose to start painting the PN2 and PN4 to match the machines with which they were paired. It just makes the scratches show up worse, especially the 'Olympia' brown ones. I've got a polished aluminum PN2 for my Super J and I love the way it gleams.

awe that's not a sad vacuum, that's a beautiful vacuum under all that dirt. Heck what a bargain!!!!
This was an earlier Silverado as it still has the PN 4 power nozzle so I'm saying this is 1984ish. If I'm not mistaken but I believe an ex elux salesman told me he quit selling them when this model came out because this is the model that broke the $500 mark and he didn't want to sell a $500 vacuum. | ||

"broke the $500 mark" I knew an Electrolux salesman,now dead,who left Elux in the 50s to sell Buicks when the price went over $69.75 and he knew they could not be sold at higher prices!He came back to Elux and also drove a 74 Buick LeSabre until he died. | ||
