Thanks! Thanks Paul! Very cool to see the original add and get a better understanding of its age. I also really appreciate the link to the eureka bag spring. Do you have any photos of your A-131?

Thanks 2011hoover700, I did see a catch at the bottom of the tube, but thought it looked rather small for a garter spring, but will give it a try! Thanks JustJuneque! I do enjoy my yellow convertible too, although the retractable cord makes it a bit cumbersome to use and I’m worried about...

Thought I’d share a few pictures of my Penncrest A104 that I picked up this weekend. I really like the color and logo. I did a little clean up on it too. A few before photos at the end. Looks like it is missing the rubber covers that go on the handle release and height adjustment, but maybe...

Here are a few photos of my 238b. Not the same model your looking for, but similar

Thanks Eurekaprince! I figured it be a long shot finding a pedal cover, especially that color, but maybe I could find another color to at least have one on it. Would be nice to have but doesn’t really affect how it operates, just need to be a little careful when pressing the pedal so you don’t...

Thanks! Thanks everyone for the information! Learning a lot. Eurekaprince: good catch in the two part handle. Makes sense. I know the dial a nap but am not familiar with the Rugulator, what generation is that on? Rugsucker: As basic of a model as it is I think it would still have a cover...

Hi all, I just got a Eureka 238 (B?) and was hoping someone could shed some light on it. (See photo) I tried researching it but couldn’t find any answers. I’ve seen a few 238s but not the 238 B. I’m sure it was the entry level model for that generation (no light, no height adjustment, shorter...

Awesome collection and display Opelgtkarl, a whole room dedicated to vacs! I really like the advertising too! VacMadMan, sorry if I created a second thread of collections. I didn’t know there was a separate collections page. I found it today but the link didn’t work. Gottahaveahoove, I’m...

Hi everyone, just curious to see how people display their collection. Did you build platforms/shelves, hang from a wall, line up by age or manufacturer, or maybe your favorite vacs have their own grouping? Do you have the accessories or marketing displays included too? I’ve seem a few...

KirbyclassicIII I’m sure many small businesses went with the residential lines to save money. Thanks Ben for sharing those Kirby models, I’m not familiar with them. I might just have to keep an eye out for an American Lincoln Super Sweep or a Super Vac 180. They look pretty cool!

Thanks! Thanks for the insight and tips! I’ll definitely keep that in mind, I’m sure most vacs used commercially are more abused, especially models that weren’t sold as a commercial rated product.

Hi, is there anyone that has a Eureka ESP Wide Track and is interested in selling it? Or does anyone know what the current value of one is in decent condition? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Thanks everyone for the support and information on this model! I had a feeling it might have been rare but I did not know it was to this extent. I am lucky to have it in my small collection. As mentioned The cord reel is a bit cumbersome, I did think about trying to find...

Hi Everyone, new here, this is my first thread. Just thought I’d share with you my first Hoover convertible. Hopefully the first of many. I believe it is a 704 however the model tag is reading 04-01 or 94-01 (see photos). Maybe the 7 broke off? It has the cord reel, which I am thinking might...

Awesome Wide Track! That’s a great looking vac! I’d really like to get a wide track esp someday. I’ve been keeping an eye out but no luck. Also I’m new here, first posting. Hi to everyone, my name’s Tom, definitely a Eureka Fan! 👍👍
