Alan, In reference to your earlier posting here, I urge you to walk... no run...to your local thrift and pick up that yellow Eureka that looks like this one. You will be more than happy with it, and then we will also have two matching vacuums, the brown Hoover and the yellow Eureka!

I think what he gave me was whatever he found with the vacuum in his house. When he moved in with his partner, he said this was left behind, and they did not use it. So I suspect if there was a hand vac, the owner of the house either took it or tossed it out. He did seem pretty determined to...

Hi Pete, It is on the connector. The hose is fine.

Eureka People What is that extra smaller hose for (see photo 3)? Is that an extension?

Gifted Hi Charles, I discovered and added the term "gifted" to my vocabulary from this site. I noticed that when folks received vacuums, etc from others here they referred to it as..."Bob gifted me this lovely Hoover today." I think it sounds kind of sweet, and have adopted it myself.

Wow!!!! What a find! Hi, That is simply an amazing find! Kind of what most of us dream to come across in our thrifting. I am still amazed you purchased that for only $4, I would have been amazed even at $8. And with the box for the tools no less! Good luck with it, It goes great with your...

Another full shot.

Closer shot of the main carpet attachment.

This is a view of the body of the vac. Pre-spa treatment.

After swearing to myself I would only concentrate on Electrolux and Hoover in my collecting, I am now the proud owner of a Eureka canister vacuum. If you have read my portable dishwasher post here, you will know this was gifted to me by the fellow I purchased the dishwasher from. It works...

My Connie has what must have been a white bed sheet or possibly part of a pillowcase as a filter. When I got it, I wondered why it was there, I almost took it off and threw it away, but figured it was there for a reason.

So Cute!!!! That is utterly adorable Mark. Your creativity never ceases to "wow" me!

Hello, Unfortunately I cannot answer your repair questions, but I know I and many others would love to see pictures of your latest finds.

Mark's Website. Oh, I really like your website, I think you are a mad genius.

Thanks for the advice... Well Mark, that is wonderful advice, but unfortunately that would leave me with a huge pile of vacuum rubble as I am not one bit as creative as you in creating vacuum Robots...;) Actually my friend Steve is still nagging me about creating some kind of vacu-bot. But I...

Hello All, First off, I hope everyone had a pleasant and joyous Thanksgiving. I know I did. I spent it with very close friends and had a wonderful dinner and relaxing after dinner conversations. As many of you know, I am planning a move for mid-January (hopefully). I would like to get most of...

Amazing Tom, That is a spectacular find! It is fate that you happened upon it. I look forward to seeing your restoration as it progresses.

Beautiful It is a beautiful Connie. Whoever purchased it is a lucky person indeed. I forgot how complete it was with the box for the vac and the box for the tools as well! I guess I still get shocked sometimes by the prices I see on eBay. But, I would also rather have that than any new Connie.

Pete, Take a look at this...It is your Lilac upright. Not too shabby either. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320181561679&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011
