I've looked, so what WERE the first 'lux PN colors? |

The salesmen for sure sold the top trim with the receptacle to people with Automatic E cleaners to convert them over to power nozzles.
This is my Automatic F with it's original Power Nozzle.

What color is the bumper on that pn-1? It’s kinda blurry so hard to tell exactly. Charles Lester’s pic it is teal but hard to see on yours? Jon |

Charles and I have discussed this before. The bumper on both our Power Nozzles is the gray to match the gray portion of the Lux's body. The top plastic piece on both of ours is slightly different. That could be due to age in different climates, or the plastic was slightly a different color when it was molded. What's special about those first power nozzles was the brush bearing was smaller and there was no reset button, and of course the cord clipped to the hose. This was to make the power nozzle as much as an 'attachment' as the dusting brush. You could remove the power nozzle and its wiring from the machine completely, just as you did any other attachment. I hate the integral wiring of modern power nozzles, with their bulk and clunky electric pistol grips and huge electric wands.
