Is my beautiful and awesome model 1205 from 1971. This is the 'second' generation (of 3) during the long run of the 1205. It's stunning. Barely used when I got it, the hose is sealed tight. It runs so smooth.

Nice color... Very nice indeed! Can you tell me what notable changes were made between the three generations of the 1205? | ||

Well I do recall the pigtail on my Grandmother’s 1205 and she bought it in 1970. | ||

1205 Variations...
I think the earliest iteration had the pigtail port for the power nozzle and a black metal face on the control panel. The next version had no pigtail port and the control panel was molded plastic. The fascia around the hose port on the first two iterations was light teal. Both of mine are the second iteration. At some point, the fascia changed to a darker teal to match the control panel. The next running change was the 'crinkled' finish and the final version was the 'Golden Jubilee' model, which got a gold color scheme and a redesigned handle. I believe it may have also received a different model number--1210 maybe?
There were also different power nozzle/hose/wand combinations. Most shipped with a PN1. I'm not sure whether any of them came with the PN1 permanently attached to the wand. The most common version was the fixed length wand with pigtail cords top and bottom. One of mine came with the Canadian style telescoping wand and early pistol grip hose. Later 1205's came with a PN2 as did the Golden Jubilee. My information may be slightly off but I think it's mostly accurate. | ||

My 2nd favorite Electrolux of all time
My gorgeous Model L with Canadian-built telescopic wand and pistol grip electric hose. These were only sold for a short period of time before they wand/hose style was beefed up for the U.S. This one is still virtually new, although I do take it out of its box and run it for pictures.
