Eureka model 10 Thanks for the information! I'm assuming you have to disassemble the cleaner to oil the bearings? I can tell you that the cord is rotted so bad that it was scary to plug in, and there were lots of sparks coming from the brushes when I turned it on.

Tradition that's actually a Classic 1CR Thank you for the information. I was baffled seeing as how I don't have one of those in my collection. I bet those power heads are difficult to find... Especially in blue Tradition trim!

I have a Kirby Tradition that I was getting ready to restore. It doesn't make sense. The back case doesn't have a plastic bezel, the power plug faces the wrong way, up and down not flat...the front fan casing doesn't have a serial number stamp, the safety switch is like an early Dual sanitronic...
