I read that the last of the Silverados had a different motor, so maybe that's it. So did the Super Js, Olympia Ones, earlier Silverados, and brown & gray Deluxe Specials all have the same motor? |

I knew that. did not see the Super J in his list. I actually had/have most of the models from the 1205 to the Dimanond Jubilee & UltraLux classic including the Super J, Olympia One % Silverado. |

"After the Super J, Electrolux started to outsource their motors." Thanks, Kevin. Your statement above confused me, because I knew the outsourcing didn't begin until after the Silverados--or possibly at the end of their production. |

Thanks again, John. I'm impressed with both your dad's years of service to Electrolux and yours--congratulations! Do you hold the record? |

Super J motor is not the same as a Silverado. The Super J is heavier and longer and is suspended by 4 bushings like the earlier motors.
