The ⚡️⚡️Electrolux Silverado Model 1505 ⚡️⚡️I gave into impulse and a good vibe and bought the machine off EBay-I’m glad I did! I’m now the proud owner of two Silverados 😊 No PN but that’s all good as I have a new one that awaits in storage. The seller found the machine at an estate sale for a former Electrolux salesman.The hose thankfully is fully sealed and the tools have not been used. This is as close as I’ve come to finding a NIB Elux Silverado , but that’s ok, because it’s still very much new in my eyes! It runs very nicely , probably about as good as the day it was taken out the box 😊

Yeah, I brought a Silverado back from the brink last year. At first, I decided just to keep it as a reminder not to engage in emotional buying but the more I looked at it, the more I wanted to fix it up. It got a switch out of an Olympia One, some minor rewiring, and a plug and front caster from the hardware store. The plate on the caster was an imperfect fit. I had to screw one side in, then rotate the plate a few degrees to line up the diagonally opposite screw. It's still pretty beaten down looking but it's alive.

"The PN5 power nozzle offered with the 1984 Silverado models was a definite improvement over the PN4 model on the 1983’s." I reply: While I agree with the rest of your post, I don't agree with you on the relative merits of PN5 and later Omniflow nozzles for a couple of (admittedly subjective) reasons: -I prefer metal (especially shiny metal) to plastic, so I prefer the PN2 and PN4. That said, I think painting the PN4 to match the Olympia One and Silverado models was an unfortunate choice as it shows scratches so much worse. -I'm also not a fan of the 'outrigger' on the omniflow nozzles because I'm constantly getting it caught on furniture. Admittedly, this may be because I'm left-handed and the design is optimized for right-handed users. In the narrow confines of my house, I just prefer the narrower and more symmetrical design of the earlier power nozzles. |

Mgosh..What can I say? But to say it again ...you guys are the best! Your feedback, your support, just in all your a great group of guys to collect with and to share with. Thanks so much! For some reason I don't think the Silverado has gotten as much visual attention as say the 1205, Super J or the Olympia. Even though it shares the same motor as the Super J, it seem to be stronger somehow...or is it my imagination? The first one I bought is nothing short of a workhorse. And its identical twin has reiterated that fact. In comparison to machines that are made today- really there is no comparison. Electrolux has exceeded expectations in so many ways. I'm very proud to be a collector of these machines. I paid 100.00 for this one. I normally don't share the cost I pay for my machines , but oh what the heck on this one :-)

~ Ever since finding my first Silverado at a thrift shop for $10.00 I've greatly admired that model. It's beautiful and wonderful color-styled and cleans like a dream.

~ Here are the two different motors of the Silverado and Silverado Deluxe. However, I've forgotten which is which! The difference is that a "snout" was added at the back end of the bag chamber and the rubber seal around the motor was eliminated. So my hunch is that that the one without the rubber is the newer one. Or else they figured out the shorter motor mount wasn't good so they went back to the original style and removed the snout from the bag chamber. I'm sure someone here knows! |

1st Super J with increased suction and vibration was worst.Later Olympia and Silverado were fixed and best.Metal DJ motor was even worse.The plastic end was part of the repair that fixed and improved it. |

All this talk about Silverados, I have a question. Just using my daily driver I notice it has two stickers for deluxe model is that uncommon? They are different.

Get a new hose. It will be the easiest.
I just bought one of these. I've bought these before and they work great.
Prices actually coming down on somethings these days.

It’s the exact one that got jammed in the 1205 I gave a friend. See link below. Seems the manufacturing tolerances are not quite right. I’ve used aftermarket hoses before but this experience changes my opinion. “You get what you pay for.” I hear the aftermarket hoses without the cuffs are better.

I'm sorry you've had a problem with your hose. I have bought several of these in the past for the the electroluxes I have and didn't have a problem. |

@ Joshua : please call your local Aerus Electrolux dealer or check out Ebay per the recommendations of other members. This post is gradually shifting into hose replacement choices , which was not the intended purpose of my posting. Please jump start a new thread for further discussions on hose replacement selections.
Thanks |

Keith that Silverado is beautiful. I don't know how you do it. Everything you present is flawless. I've had several Silverados, none as nice as this. Good for you. Thanks for sharing. |
