Two days ago , after taking a much needed cat nap, I got up, Iogged onto Ebay and ⚡️⚡️⚡️ S H A Z A M ⚡️⚡️⚡️ I stumbled upon this Electrolux HG! I rushed to click the Buy it Now ( 130.00) because I knew that it was going to get snatched up- talk about good timing! I have spare original attachments including an extra tan / sheathed PN1 ☺️ A Super J pigtail hose and Super J floor tool and aluminum wands were included with the sale. This machine could have went for much more , given its rarity. I will post additional pics later!

Been awhile, hope all is well with you! Are those stock wheels? If they are they're in great shape. Looks like a distant cousin of the "hospital vac." Weren't these made for use in schools,libraries and places where " Shhhh! Quiet please!" was important?

I told Keith about the term "twingle." This was concocted by, IIRC, Clay Floyd, to describe that peculiar feeling when, for example, you walk into a thrift store and get hit with the blazing certainty that there's SOMETHING amazing in there!

Bill,
Is that not what this is? I have very limited knowledge of them, but I thought this was a "Hospital G" when I saw the pictures. I didn't know there was another model with the exhaust filter like this.

There were three versions of the hospital G: cream with turquoise trim with the power nozzle connection in the front cover; cream with turquoise trim with the power nozzle connection on the side; cream with dark tan trim.

Were these usually sold to businesses or were they also offered to residential customers?

Guys thanks for the kind words, fun , and feedback! This is an original Hospital G! There were no filtration step down units for this model, except for the Model L ( Bronze ) which I also have in my collection. To my understanding the HG was designed for commercial use for healthcare but was available to anyone that wanted to own one.The machine runs very nicely, quiet , and the suction is good. I will post more pics here shortly once I pull the matching accessories together from storage.

Keith, hospital G's could be bought by anyone who wanted them. while commercial settings with high exhuast filtration did indeed order them, anyone could request that unit from a dealer or salesman too.
