Eureka
As I learned from Electrolux packaging if the rubber bumper touches Styrofoam it can stick to rubber with no moisture or damage to box and be easily removed. I happen to know even though this was not and will be my Eureka the seller is including original box as he stated. Why would we...
Shipping
With most things you need to think how were they shipped when they left the factory.On both remove the bags.Hoover-remove handle. AirWay-remove floor nozzle(gently & carefully unscrewing threaded ring).
Not new?!?!
The only thing I see that is not new is the pack of bags that would have been bought for the 2nd vac.If you look at the separate pictures of wheels they may seem to be different shades of blue.If you look at the pic showing all 3 wheels they do match.The 2 white spots on rear bumper...
Dirt Devil
One of the best hand vacs ever.Might be good idea to take fan off while it is apart and check for thread,strings,hair under it.Dust brush is 60s,70s deluxe Eureka with horse hair bristles and would fit many other vacs.
Les,
Very few if any straight suction uprights.There will be bags and parts but only after more vacuums are out of the building and out of the way of much more to go.
Electrolux hoses
A closer look at reply 3 pic 1 shows that the matching hose could be original to the CA.Does the PN hose cord match the length?And 2 later hoses(generic?).Does this have small,medium,large hose lengths?Better pictures please(without the Hoover upholstery nozzle).
Simple things first
Only look at this as in your picture 5. The slots are only to line up with the thin electrical contacts. One side at a time push the locking tabs with a screwdriver towards the center until it clears the chrome ring. Hose should release. Don't use again if buttons will not...
CA
Great vacuum!! That looks like a hose I found with a CB. Even though the outer cover is worn it has good suction. The correct Power Nozzle has 2 wands with lock rings (broken on mine). This allows the wands to store in attachment 'bucket' and the PN to hang from clips in back. The older and...
1205 hose
The problem is the generic hose doesn't have same quality locking tabs and buttons as the original would. Holding as in pic 5 it should be easy to push tabs in with a flat screwdriver and remove. I don't think the rust would hurt or the WD 40 would help.
Paint trivia
At one time Electrolux branches could get original colors in spray cans with parts orders to make repos or repairs look near new.I have seen blue,gold & brown.
Beautiful--
--and RARE CB!
These were often used for diners,car cleaning,churches and more where they got much wear and abuse making your CB an amazing survivor. I have only seen one with the painted fan housing. They could also use a paper filter under the cloth filter. I happen to have put...
Electrolux Special Editions
The Discovery II was 1986.The Special Editions came later and were for home shows and Sams Club sales.In addition to the upright there was the standard plastic body tank with Power Nozzle and the 3 brush shampooer from Canada(which was troublesome).This was one of...
