Replacing the handle...
Yeah, the handle for my Silverado's hose was broken in exactly the same way. It was held together with a whole bunch of duct tape when I got it so I tried gluing it together with JB Weld—total fail, which pretty much sums up my entire experience with JB Weld. Fortunately, as Andy pointed out, those handles are fairly easy to come by, either on or off of a hose. Electrolux used that same hose handle, both on vinyl and woven hoses, going back to at least the Golden Jubilee in the mid-'70s. They show up periodically on eBay but it may take some time to find a good deal since pricing can be all over the place. Sometimes an entire hose can be cheaper than just a handle. Some vendors sell brand new third party handles but those won't fit a genuine Electrolux hose and some are honest enough to say as much. They may look pretty similar but a vendor I asked told me the diameter of the opening is too big for the hose and the electrical contacts don't necessarily line up the same.
Removing and replacing those handles is pretty easy. Just remove the two screws on the underside and lift the cover carefully, starting at the end closest to the metal end and then pull the cover forward to disengage the two tabs on the other end. Once the cover is removed, the handle comes right off the end of the hose. | ||

Good information as always. This is precisely the reason I save hose handles from genuine Electrolux hoses....ya never know when one will break.
However, one small correction to the information supplied above....That hose handle made it's debut on the final version of the American Electrolux 1205. And here in Canada, that hose handle wasn't introduced until the mid 1980's when the Canadian Electrolux 2100 was introduced to replace the E2000. Up until that point, the 89, AP series and E2000 used a hose handle similar, but with a trigger on/off switch and slide suction control valve on the front. The generic hoses use this same design today, just with a on/off switch instead. The 2100 also introduced the 2 in 1 combination dusting/upholstery brush after the first year into that model's run, as well as the introduction of the PN5 L shaped powerhead. Rob | ||

This is a great deal on a rubber hose that will fit Bill Genuine Used Electrolux hose. This is a great price for this. The 1205 uses the same hose as the your Marquise! CLICK HERE TO GO TO Jo's LINK on eBay | ||

Thanks very much all. I’ll start with local Aerus. Turns out I have the Grand Marquee! | ||

Great. Nice, the Grand Marquise is basically nearly identical to the Marquise, mostly the color is different. There may have been motor differences and that’s about it. Let us know how you make out. Curious what Aerus charges for a new handle currently. Jon | ||

$76 Hose...
I bought a Diamond J at Goodwill a few years ago for $10 and it came with an aftermarket hose that had a $76 price sticker from a local (and now defunct) Aerus dealer. Made me feel like I was getting a hell of a bargain for the vacuum, hose, wand and PN5 power nozzle. I did have to replace a screw on the hose handle with a slightly larger one but have had no further issues with it.

Love your story, human. Aerus charged me $120 for a new hose, complete. Once and done. | ||

Bill, let me know if you don't find anything that suits your need on ebay, i have a few handles of the right model in my basement. It is not a big item, shipping cost from Canada to your place shouldn't be outrageous. | ||
