A Case of Arrested Development
To all thanks for the kind compliments and feedback! Having been raised around the 1205 and Super J series , I was never very fond of the Model G. As a kid I felt that this model looked too old fashioned for me and that the 1205 and Super J were far more advanced! That attitude gradually changed upon my first use of the Model G back in 1995. I developed more of an interest in this model once I joined the groups and I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Model G! This custom refurbished G was an experiment that appears to have successfully landed into the hearts of quite a few of you!
Brian Satterwhite with Aerus Electrolux of VA. rebuilt the machine for me and I couldn’t be more pleased. I have a few other machines I use for routine use. My collectible vacs are not used for routine cleaning jobs except for an occasional use of one of the model CBs for heavy duty cleaning around the house. | ||

Absolutely Beautiful G!
And the color scheme reminds me of the Hospital G. I was 9 years old when I first saw a model G demonstrated by my Uncle Red, who was selling them at the time, and it was the latest model in 1965. I have a turquoise one similar to what my Uncle sold, but my power nozzle (not shown in the pic) and attachments are actually from a 1205. But it is still a pleasure to use, powerful yet quiet.

The first Model G I ever saw was the one that they were using at my daycare. I was about 3 or 4. The machine was probably from about 1965 and it had a power nozzle. I remembering being so amazed and all I wanted to do was watch them use it. Most likely I was probably the only kid there that felt that way. I can't remember if I ever saw the bag door pop open. I just remember them working on the power nozzle a lot probably because it would get clogged often! Later, my aunt had one (no pn) and my sister's mother-in-law had one (again no pn). So later on around 2003 somehow I managed to acquire a Hospital G with a power nozzle off of eBay. It was in pretty good shape and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I remember friends and relatives growing up most of them had Electrolux's 1205, Golden J's, Super J's, and my favorite was the Olympia One. That would be so cool to use a CB to clean your whole house from top to bottom. I have used several different models of those also when my sister and I would clean a church together when I was about 9.
