I just gave this Model L a spa treatment inside and out, all the way down to a motor disassembly and clean out. Just wondering if someone can tell me PN would have been sold with this unit. Also, would the tools be aqua or beige? Thanks!

Mine is a 1969 model with Canadian-built pistol grip electric hose, Canadian-built telescopic electric wand, and PN-1 Power Nozzle. Love the Model L.

I have the same hose and wand with one of my 1205's. I didn't know they were Canadian made. Does that mean my 1205 came from Canada? Surprisingly, the hose doesn't leak noticeably but I've quit using it because the pistol grip is badly cracked and I've got it held together with nylon cable ties. I really like the telescoping wand and wish they had continued to offer that design.

Electric hoses for the model G (turquoise as well as tan) were introduced AFTER the machines were no longer being built. The hoses were made in Canada, were not UL approved, but were for replacement use while the 1205 and Model L's were using Canadian-built hoses. The cord from the nozzle plugged in back of the handle, like the late 1205 and Golden J hoses did. This is the Canadian-built electric hose for the Model G, shown with my Hospital Model and PN-1 Power Nozzle.
