The Color is.... RUST and Honey Beige!

That is not a U4040 That is a model U4007 made between 1973-1975, the color Goldtone. If it were a U4040, it would be MUCH newer then from 1973, U4400 series would have been from the late 1980's.

That is indeed a beautiful machine! I am still thrilled you saved it!

I think you are refurring to the.... T.V. commercial that is on YouTube. I am thinking the model in that video HAS to be a prototype. I have NEVER seen that model in real life branded as Vanguard. I have only seen the Vanguard name on the one in the brochure that I posted above. Which are model...

Eurekaprince.... The Rugulator, Vibra-groomer were BOTH introduced on the Vanguard in 1969. The Dial-A-Nap was also introduced in 1969 too.

Nope.... Earlier then that. I have paperwork from 1969 for the model 2011. That model and one other were the first of the new series of Eureka to have a variable height adjustment. along with the Vanguard with the new Rugulator. not only does it have a metal fan, but more importantly it had...

Its actually.... Salina Kansas, only about an hour from me. I never knew they had a Woolco. Very interesting!

No the model with the bag ejector is a.... LX or a LXI (60 or 61).

I would also like to add a few things.... I am a firm believer in marking everything so things go back together just as they were. Get a set of colored sharpies, in 5 or 6 different colored. So when you service a machine that has a complicated nest of wires and a 2speed switch you can color...

when you say powers that be... I assume you mean Tom Anderson? =) I did not realize that was the reason. But that makes perfect sense.

The early 69s... Also were the last to have the Hoover Emblem in the sides of the handle grip (Which is why there is one little circle in the sides of the grip). As well as the early 69s were the last to have Hoover Embossed in the plug. after that Hoover did away with those touches. I...

congratulations! Yes, it is normal for that light to stay on. Yes, there should have been a dusting brush too. The attachment holder is the rarest thing to find on a Concept II.

Takes one..... to know one!

very cute.... Those were the lowest line canister you could get from Eureka. I seem to think they were introduced Sometime in 1970, and ran to about 1975 or so. There was also one branded for Singer too. Should have had a white vynil hose, and a set of the white classic Eureka cleaning tools.

Well actually..... upon doing some research. I found that there are two of those tan colored Eureka Ulra's that to the naked eye look the same, but are slightly different. The one I am posting the picture of (not mine by the way), is a ESP model. As you can see on the top corner of the bag...

Rick...I believe you could be entirely correct! As you might have noticed from the picture of the bag package there are 4 Montgomery Wards model numbers listed. Someone previously mentioned a almond colored one. Then there is mine, which is most deffently a midrange model. Being how it has a...

Cord real??? Try Cord "Reel"....Real is the opposite of fake.

Sorry for the wait Broomvac... I had to get on my PC to post these picture. Here is my other Ultra, that is indeed actually a Eureka Ultra. Also notice the slight hood variation too. Seems the higher end ones have a the sightly larger hood.

Broomvac... I actualy have a regualr Eureka Ultra too. Mine is a lowerline model that has a belnder motor, as well as a vinyl bag.

I have been in question if these were even in existence for some years now, after seeing a package of Montgomery Wards Type Z bags, that not only boast that they fit the Eureka Ultra Series, but also gave 4 Montgomery Wards model numbers too. I had asked several well versed collectors over the...
