I just got this beauty today for only $20. Runs well and is all original. One of my favorite color schemes done by Electrolux. I also included a pic of the gorgeous rotary phone my honey bought for my Birthday. We love to collect anything vintage however he is more into dishes and I’m into vacs and appliances.

Great find....everything seems to be correct. Nobody seems to be 100% correct on the bumper color lettering scheme over the yrs....so I just don't go there. If the hose has no air leaks, a real plus!
My favorite colored vac other than the teal G's.....

great machine The 1205 is a great cleaner, even if the hose is leaking, those are easily replaced and some of the replacement hoses actually have a switch on them to start and stop the power nozzle which makes them better than originals. Mike | ||

 Gorgeous vacuum! And a lovely Western Electric 500-M telephone! I collect vacuums, furniture, and Telephones. Grandpa worked for Illinois Bell for 40+ years, so it's in my blood! Thanks to him, I can fix close to anything.
I've always had bad luck with 1205's. One was taken from me (gotta love the classic Ex boyfriend stole something of yours story...), and 2 of them did not work. Congrats! | ||
