Both of mine work great, although I prefer them paired with a PN2 or PN4. My only real complaint about them is the fragility of the handle, which was addressed in every subsequent model of that canister. Caution: always lift it by the short piece across the front and NEVER by the long piece that runs the length of the machine. But for pure, brute power in a canister, I'm still a fan of the Super J.

Lovely! I haven't used a 1205 in ages, every one I've had quit working!
Andy, IIRC, there is a terminal wire strip in there that has a tendency to melt down. I think the fix is just to by-pass it. I had my first one melt down and then looked at another inside to re-wire.

I think the terminal strip Kevin is referring to controls the bag ejector mechanism. You have to take the the bag door apart to get to it. The one on my Super J was fried when I got it. Replacing it was about a five-minute job but there was also an extra contact on it that would have allowed it to be bypassed by moving one wire, the blue one, if I recall correctly. I don't know why the part was constructed that way, but it does provide a quick means of getting the machine running again—albeit with the bag ejector disabled—at least until you can get a replacement part.

This weekend, I've been dividing the duties between my Genesis LXe, including an extensive session with the Sidekick to clean up my sleeper sofa before a friend comes to stay with me tomorrow. And I did the living room and dining room with one of my 1205's, connected to my recently refurbished (new brush roll and fresh custom paint job) PN4A. I just love me some Luxes.
