Looks like you have the whole set! And they are in gorgeous condition. I love Electrolux but that 80s brown is well, very brown. The 1205 color scheme I think is my favorite. |

I don't actually have an Olympia in my collection but I agree that their chocolate brown and ivory color scheme is lovely. The only problem I have with it--and the Silverado after it, for that matter--is the painted PN4/4A power nozzles. To my mind, that was an unfortunate decision. They show the scratches too much and they eventually look horrible. That's why I've retrofitted one of my gray PN4A's with a polished PN4 cover. Does that make it a bojack franken-nozzle? That's in the eye of the beholder. To me, it's a welcome upgrade.
