I feel like Eureka left the market a long time ago.  Vacuum shops that repair vintage vacuums are harder to find today. We had a terrific vacuum cleaner shop in Dayton Ohio that had many older vacuum parts and if they didn't have a new one, they had many old cleaners in their  basement...

A new handle fork, handle release button, tech drive pedal and new outer bag, will change any Avalir into and Avalir 2......I hope Kirby is coming out with a complete model change soon!   PR-21 Bud

Several years back, I bought a Filterqueen 360 NIB on Ebay and didn't like the new power nozzle or attachments. I called Health Mor and was able to purchase the old style power nozzle, hose and attachments. You  can still find the old style power nozzle brand new along with the hose-wand on...

I replaced a duct hose and the new one was about 2 inches longer. I cut mine off and it fits better. The duct hose does need to fit into the bottom of the power nozzle. I had to take my cover off in order to get it properly seated.     PR-21 Bud

Spray the WD 40 on a Qtip and then rub it along the zipper. It will take several times, but  it should start moving slowly. Just be patient and don't force it.   PR-21 Bud

I agree, I keep trying to find some myself. I have been able to find the Sure Thing and Germ Grabber Bags, which is what I use now. Also if you can find the DVC Brand 4 Ply ( be carefull)  some sellars sell a two ply, which are no good. The 4 ply do extremely well at filtering.   PR=21 Bud

Montgomery Ward when in business sold Eureka vacuums in that color during that time frame.     PR-21 Bud

The last floor care system was for the Sentria II, that I know of. You can find them at Goodvac.com or Ebay. I use the carpet fluffer to raise the nap on my carpet which is now about 7 years old. Does a great job. Also I might add that since the new stiffer brush rolls, it is not as...

Those are put on by Kirby, they do not screw on. It is just a stem and Kirby turned over the front plate with the  nozzle lock in at and smashes the back of the screw flat. You can buy one if you know how to do it, I took mine in as it was brand new under warranty and Kirby ordered a new fan...

Vac Yum are granuals you can vacuum up and they work well. Lots of fragrances.  They will not clog bags. Goodvac.com sells them. These are not for Water Filtration vacuums.   PR-21 Bud

Go to ebay and look for American Vacuum Supply. Look for Electrolux Brush Roll for PN 5 or 6.   They are very good brush rolls and seem to have more spiral and brushes than the picture   above. They also have the end caps included.   PR-21 Bud      

I know this is a Hoover thread, but the same thing happened with Eureka as well. Thank goodness for nos popping up once in a while on Ebay.     PR-21 Bud

For wood and hard surface I just use a microfiber mop with Kirby's Hard Surface Floor Cleaner. It does a great job and dries quickly. I just mop backwards out of each room, and throw the mop pad in the laundry when done.  Microfibertech, has really nice mops and pads.   I do have the...

Is that a plastic protection on the front of the bag, or just a reflection of some sort. If it is on the front, what was Kirby thinking. That is not a wear spot on my Avalir........     PR-21  Bud

You can go to Goodvac.com and they have info on the clicking noise and even steps on how to replace the cam lock lever. I bought the part, just a few dollars and then opened their website and did step by step procedure. When done do it in reverse. Fixed my clicking noise.   Eventually...
