    Stunning New in Box Eureka MobileAire on Ebay

    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...

    Hose end ID please

    Hose? It's a non electric hose from a mid 60s Rainbow and would fit older or newer. Not rare. Use caution with wire when cutting ends.

    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.

    Reviving a 2/13/2008 Thread from lux1521- "Hose Stuck" in a 1205 canister

    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...

    Possibly rare Electrolux hose question

    Reviving a 2/13/2008 Thread from lux1521- "Hose Stuck" in a 1205 canister

    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.
