1969 Vintage Electrolux Model 1205 Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

Now here is one you don’t see everyday! This is a model 1205 with a direct connect swivel handle and telescopic wands. It has a trigger switch. I have 2 hoses with this, one standard and the electric one shown. It’s date stamped 1969.

    i have just gotten one of these wonderful machines, got it at a thrift store with some attachments[not original ones] and a different hose. all for 7$, not bad at all, its obviously had wear and tear, and i just finished giving it some tlc. looks much better now, anyway know where i could find a power nozzle and original hose? thanks.

    Ah, the classic and unique sound of the Electrolux “Power Nozzle”. I spent many hours as a kid hearing that sound as my mom diligently vacuumed the shag carpets in our house back when I was a kid in the ’70s! To think the sound of a vacuum cleaner can bring back memories! :-D

    Hi ThelX..that must have been a fun experience to sell these vacs with your father. Imagine if we knew then what we know now-we may have tried to hold onto a few of these puppies brand new in the box!

    My mom still uses hers; It came from my grandmother’s after she died. The only difference is the powerhead.

    I use to assist my father sell this electrolux vacuum cleaners back in the mid 70s. We have a client one time with a big large furry dog and I told her that she could use it to dry the dog hair after giving the dog a bath.

    Is yours the TOL mdl? Neither of my Lux 1205s have telescope wand like yours but the one my parents bough c. 1970 has a 10ft hose & aqua PN like yours. The 2nd 1205 I have has the chrome PN-2.

    I have the same one, its very very dirty, but in decent shape, ive got a hose, and two metal wands with the flip head attachment for hardfloors/brushes. The only flaw with mine is the blue or whatever color plastic is broke around the hose connection on the unit.

    I was worried I have this same vac and it does not have a place for the dusting brush to hang onto I thought it was missing or broken. Good to know that.
