Very cool, Alex, and thoughtful of SEBO to honor America's patriotism. I would guess that it also made them in flag motifs for other countries in their sales markets. Creative and ingenious marketing, too. A shout out, to the 109th U.S. Flag Day commemorating its June 14, 1777, adoption as...

Good afternoon! Attached is a 2002 parts list from vacshopusa.com. The PS16 is the wide track version. Here's a link to another thread that gives some background of the Euroclean brand: https://vacuumland.org/threads/old-euroclean-vacuum.21579/

Welcome! Glad to have your participation. Sounds like you have a nice assortment of vintage cleaners. If you are able, please share photos of each.

Glad you got it! Maybe the retainer has something to do with the spring-loaded axle.

Welcome—glad to have you and look forward to more of your participation!

It looks like you have it, although I would think it would snap in place and not just sit loose. I have no way of accessing mine at the moment, but maybe someone else can do so and will confirm or reveal something else.

On closer examination, I think the part is #13 on the schematic, a shaft retainer.

The attached schematic lacks that part. I wonder, then, if it's what I call a brush roll rung - that allows it to spin above the nap. Except for the commercial upright nozzles, Electrolux switched to plastic ones circa 1990, which is what the schematic features. I think your power nozzle is a...

On Saturday I spotted this "Frost Beige" & "Antique Copper Shadow" Hoover Celebrity IV S3133 at ReStore that fits the theme.

Should've mentioned that "apples" is my nick for the set.

Also known as the "Imperials" with the "Mod" bags in some ads as a promotional set in the early 1970s. I give you red (2020-RR), golden (2010-RY), and green (2044-RG) deliciousness in online photos. I know that Eureka used a "Rallye Gold" enamel around that time, so it may be that these were...

Congratulations, VacmanSpencer1982; looks like it's it's been well-maintained. Hopefully you'll find an original-style bag for it. Btw, even though the base is stamped 1981, that is technically only when the base was made—at least that's how Eureka operated. That's not to say the complete...

Hi Ben, That's what my research indicates, too. Btw, the model-type 2061-A was one of the first Type As to be equipped with the 6.5-amp motor that succeeded the 6.0-amp one. Here is an ad from the 1981 Sep 15 issue of the SARASOTA HERALD-TRIBUNE:

Welcome to Vacuumland and thank you for sharing the colorful and interesting Hoover Convertible history and photos! Belated Happy Birthday to John!

Robert, I am grateful to you for managing Vacuumland for so many years; you've done a terrific job. I have enjoyed using this site and found the format creative and user-friendly. Thank you for your managerial skills and talent, and best wishes on your new adventures. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~...

Congratulations! You seem to have a good working knowledge of vintage Eurekas based on your photos (thank you for posting them). In case you are unaware, the 238-F was one of the last of the 200 Series to be made. It began in 1947 with the S-246 and was produced for 25 years; being phased out...

I agree about the Electrolux "twin cleaner" benefits and usage of the Sidekick. Also, I remember the thread in which you mentioned the Sidekick adapter.

Just noticed that I got the color schemes mixed up, so the 1939 ad is presumably for the AVT701, and the 1947 one likely shows the AVT150.

G-E USA & Canada introduced their new "Airflo" tank-type cleaners in late 1939 according to newspaper ads and consumer reports from an electronic database. I'm unsure if both countries' models & IDs were identical, but the model ID and motor ratings of the US's was the AVT150 and 500-watts...

Invented by Fred E. Hays in 1964 I did some online research and discovered these (there were later newspaper ads, too): 1-3. US Patent filed in 1964 (usually indicates the beginning of production) & granted in 1966 4. CA & US trademarks (March 25, 1969 OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF THE USPO) 5-6. 1966...
