..... Ummm...I didn't talk you out of it, you told me AND Phill it was for sale. If you didn't want to sell it, you shouldn't have.   @crazykirbydude, Gee thank you for your admiration, and gratitude for me taking the time to help you with information, and provide pictures of something...

@real1shep.... Thank you for pointing out the obvious, but you might notice that my reply was not meant for YOUR question, it was to enlighten SOMONELESE! I have two eyes in my head, and unlike a good amount of people here, I actually read the posts.

CrazyKirbyDude..... The Celebrity II did NOT use the Quadraflex Powermatic. When the Celebrity II was introduced in 1975, it used a power nozzle (yes also called the "Powermatic"), but it was built more like a Eureka power head, used a non Hoover made GS Electric motor, and had the same beater...

I have one of those small Roto-Matics.... Mine is dated 1954. It is in perfect condition, even has a brand new, genuine, vintage Eureka paper bag, from the correct era. I just need a hose for it (excuse the pics of the old vacuum room, lol).

This is NOT a commercial machine.... As stated above, this was part of Eureka's top of the line machines. Yours is one step down from the top, being self Propelled, but only one speed. I have the rare TOP of the Line with the variable "Electronic" Speed control. I will post pictures of that...

EurekaFan... I decide to take some good pictures of the best of the best, the pride and joy of the Vacuum Gallery here at Jae Place! So, for your viewing pleasure, the VERY BEST of my Eureka uprights!   From left to right, 1.Model 250A '55 2.Model 260 '59 Gold and Green 50th anniversary...

as far as I have leardned with Eureka..... With the letters, they indicate a change. like for example the model 2042. The first model 2042 A as released as part of the 1972 line, in Wild Moss green and Antique white, when the model was reissued in 1975 as a part of the new machines with the new...

Certianly EurekaFan.... I would be more than happy to share..

EurekaFan... Let me post some paperwork that might just flip your switch! I am pretty much the resident Eureka lover here. Enjoy!   Jae The Eureka Empress!

I can tell you right now..... The fairly current 2015 issue of Kovels Antique and collectible guide, only has one listing for a early pre, non electric pump vacuum cleaner valued at $50.00 and change. Take into consideration that there is not really a world wide demanding market for vintage...

My case is...... A. You lied to this poor man about having said literature in the first place. B. I don't care what you or Fred S, or you say on the matter, you are the same kid whom recommended someone use a Convertible with out a belt or a brush roll. So you pretty much have no conception...

..... I rest my case..

Andy R.... Told Phillip that he doesn't even have the service manual in question. Repairman, If  I were you I would just go buy the Powerdrive Dial.A.Matic service manual off the Automatic Ephemera section of the site. The Power Drive Transmission is the same machine in both machines, and is...

And Aaron... The whole froum didn't give you detialed instruction on how to make the needed repair, I did...Me my self!

Robert.... If you are not too familiar with this kind of motor, then why are you giving a suggestion??? I have serviced COUNTLESD of these. Furthermore, this is not the same motor Sanitaires usually use, yes the sleve bearings do wear out from time to time...

Well, then as a EXPERIANCED..... Eureka Expert.....I would say it is the top Sleeve motor bearing, sometimes they do wear out. there is two hood springs that remove the hood, and well as the screw in the middle of the Dial.A.Nap. Then the sleeve bearing is in the middle of the top cover that...

How do you know this machine is "loosing Suction"? If that is your reason for needing a new bearing, stop for a minute and take into consideration, this is a upright direct air vacuum....In the first place, belts need to be replaced every two to three months, weather the machine is used or not...

But if the BUYER....... Is willing to pay shipping, then what does it matter? its not going to come out of your pocket.

such as if..... Genuine replacement handles are not available from Kirby, or could not be found..lol

no Ben.... I have seen long boxes with the names "Mark II" and "Mark III" before.
