Hi Ben, You're probably right; although I have actually seen a late 1980s or early 1990s (according to the date-marked serial number) F & G automatic with the E/W logo. Eureka was known to use up NOS, including decals and enamels, at times long after they had been retired or replaced. Another...

You're welcome.

I appreciate you, Bill. Thanks!!

Thanks for the link. It's always fun to see color brochures and catalogs of vintage appliances. Vacuumland includes polisher-scrubber-shampooers postings, so no worries; they're just not as popular to collectors as vacuum cleaners. In case you're unaware, the shampoo-polisher in the brochure...

Welcome to Vacuumland! I am unable to help you with your B21 Floor Conditioner, but Doug Smith who lives in Canada and has a vast knowledge of Canadian Electrolux and other brands of surface care appliances likely can. He does post here occasionally, but you can connect with him via email...

Hey Keith - great to see you posting at VL again after a long hiatus! And what a stunning way to make your reappearance with a set of one of Eureka's best vintage TOL sets in the beautiful Brandywine enamel! Wow! I have seen only one other collector, Konstellationz_Karl_55, with a Eureka...

Thanks for posting some of your dad's vintage ephemera. I would appreciate seeing more Eureka items.

Hello and welcome. The Hoover Concept One & Two line is considered by many to be the best of the best the company produced, so it's understandable why you enjoy vacuuming with yours. You can use the Search Forums hyperlink in the purple strip above to find other Concept conversations while you...

Hi Brian!!! Thanks for the info.! I was unaware of the unique G-E motor and exhaust of the Empress. I'd checked out the 1000 Series canisters but forgot to have a look the 1100 Empress & 1099. In fact until now I hadn't thought about the 822 Crown Princess Series either, which I can now...

That's right - I even saved an online photo of one, a 1791-B.

Btw, Eureka changed the airflow of its "pull-along" cleaners beginning with the 1800 Series (& 1280-1290 Roto-Matic Power Teams) in 1970 by moving the exhausts from the bottoms to the rears. This design changed continued in its later series: 600 (in the design of the other series'...

You must have missed my post with attachments last Friday and hygiene 903's reply on Tuesday. In the US, while some may refer to any "pull-along" vacuum as a canister except for shop vacs, the original industry definitions still stand, which have also been used in advertising. See the US...

I use Tri-Flow for a variety of jobs, too. I'm not sure, though, if it's recommended for vacuum cleaner motor bearings. I've read other threads on lubricating motors in which posters have success with different products and at times refute others'. You can use the "Search Forums" hyperlink in...

You're welcome. I look forward to hearing that you got in back in operation. Btw, an old salespersons' tip to aid the cord reel function is to dust the cord with talcum powder; I have done so by putting it in the palm of my hand grasping the cord loosely as it retracts. Wiping it down first...

Very cool. My dad got my grandma a set of Stetson dinnerware (also over time) when he worked at a local grocery store, and I remember us getting plastic bowls from a Derby gas station in the '70s. I only remember encyclopedias being sold by door to door salesmen. We had a set of Compton's.

Here's another Vanguard commercial; likely from 1971 when the Vibra Groomer premiered:

There was even a 5th! Type XRB

Attached are schematics for different Series of Eureka upright motors known colloquially as blender and pancake; and formally as HP.
