I thought I would share The Electrolux Model 1205 and The complimentary Model L with the electric ⚡️pigtail hose w/ pistol grip handle and the PN2. Please no thread hijacking or adding Ebay sales advertisements to my post(s).
Thanks | ||

@ Paul: Some wack job in one of the Facebook Collectors groups thinks my 1205 was repainted. He said that it was too shiny to be the original color. He even had the audacity to request that I contact my seller, find out the erroneously assumed paint color combo and to share the information with him and others in the group. He apologized for my being misled in the purchase of the machine. I’m like what the.. It just boggles the mind. Anyhow he has been banished to the Phantom Zone.

Beautiful machines
I love the look of the 1205's that have the smooth paint as opposed to the rough finish. There is something just so cool and sleek about them. I remember how much of a major breakthrough that was for Electrolux at the time and how it boosted their reputation and sales. I really think the PN2 was a breakthrough for them also because it basically enlarged everything about the Power Nozzle and gave it more durability. Very nice machines Keith!

I may be remembering wrong, but when I was at the factory in Bristol I was told by the now late Rich Luisi (Vice Pres. at the time) that the blue model L's were made at the Seymour factory. Because they were now different body styles (as opposed to the white or bronze L's body being virtually the same as the G). The B8 and Rug Washer line were also made there. Freeing up Old Greenwich for 1205's, power nozzles, cord winders, hoses, and motors. The Seymour factory was where they also were doing factory rebuilding of previous models.

@ Paul: This individual is convinced that my seller " over sprayed " the color to this machine. He needs to stop sniffing that Clean Sweep- Stuff can be bad for you if its not used properly. I do believe Electrolux used slight color variations throughout each series. You can tell the differences especially with the Super J series.
@ Dysonman : Thanks for sharing! More interesting and newly discovered Elux history! | ||
