All's well that ends well—congrats on getting your replacement wands! I can understand your frustration and would have likely felt the same, yet maybe the wait as heightened your enthusiasm. I'm also glad that it seems to have at least in part brought you some relief from your past emotions...

C2057-A Photos & MC-5510 ads Ben, I have neither, but I discovered some online photos of the Eureka model-type C2057-A and captured a couple Panasonic MC-5510 ads (1982 & 1990) in case you're interested in seeing some of their details. The 6.5A Eureka motors were introduced in or around 1982...

It seems to me that the 1925's bag cover is original, because it appears to be the same as the 1967's with the same color hood (Blue Topaz, I think). Btw, the 1435 & 1486's hoods share the same color as the 1925 and 1967-A/-AT (the -B/-BT's hood color was Dark Blue; unless I have the colors...

1425 Types Thanks for the inspiration, Brian! Here is what I've learned so far about the 1425. To my knowledge, all were equipped with blender motors (as were most of the 1400 Series), 4-Way Dial-A-Nap height adjusters, 660 cu. in. bag covers, 20-foot cords, and Disturbulators. Some appear...

So, Jimmy, what is the history of the store?

Very cool, Jimmy; thanks for posting! The newspaper ads reveal that the model 1429 sold in retail from 1982 to 1987. The model 1438 was also styled in white & red with tattersall bag cover print. Both were 4-way Dial-A-Naps with 4.0A motors, 660 cu. in. bag covers, and 20-foot cords, but the...

Nifty Hoover home, and color-matched to boot!

You're welcome, JJ. I hope you're successful. You could probably get a good used replacement, but original is best, and the epoxy fix should suffice. I would think that the crack was a result of an accident rather than regular use; at least it seems to be a rare issue. Btw, there are three...

I prefer products and other things in their original forms and colors, but a repainted beige & brown Electrolux Automatic E currently listed on eBay caught my eye as an attractive exception; if it were mine I would paint the wheels and handle in brown, too. Anyway, it reminded me of brown &...

Cinnamon & Beige 1700 "Trunk" Roto-Matic Power Teams I should mention that my research is ongoing and therefore incomplete and not necessarily 100%, such as my discovery of the 1277-B in Brandywine & White. P-V stands for Power-View (belt window).

Glad to hear the situation has become more promising. Way to go on the experimentation—a benefit of owning more than one of the same cleaner make and design. It's great that those vintage Eurekas are still going strong after nearly 50 years. You're welcome for the info. I discovered that the...

Re: Reply #9 1. Actually, Electrolux Corporation became the principal shareholder of Electrolux (Canada) Ltd. in late 1961 (see attachments of the 1961 Annual Report of AB Electrolux and the December 9, 1961, news brief in the edition of THE FINANCIAL POST; albeit management and production was...

Sorry to hear that about the eBay seller. Check with Jimmy (Rugsucker) for wands and other items from his store clearance.

You're welcome!

You're quite welcome, Samuel. I have yet to tackle such an undertaking; congrats to you! And to have used a genuine Hoover grease gun is extra special. John Gregory sure has a great reputation—both personal and professional. Rebuilding vacs and building up a friend are testaments to your...

1447-A photo located plus the 1457-A ... Thanks to SpiritOf76's post from a salesmen's catalog photo, I located the original white and Big Bad Orange model-type 1447-A. I also discovered the 1457-A in the same color combination on the page. Model-Types 1447-B & 1457-B were first issued in...

I'll give it a shot, but I've recently been unsuccessful in posting working links for some reason even with truncating the URL after the '?' as someone suggested...

Yeah, interest grows stronger as we start collecting certain makes and increase in knowledge about them. Congrats getting a Brandywine & White 1279-D/1231-D Roto-Matic Power Team! The 1260 & 1270 Series were the counterparts of the original "Sweet Sixteen" 1600 Series canisters (with no...

Thanks for the photos. Ah, you have the second B-9, "Floor Beautifier" in light sand gray & jadestone colors. Its production was between 1985 and 1987. That's great that you even have its factory carton. In case you aren't aware, the ones made in 1984 had the "Diamond Jubilee" label instead...

Nice work on those Kirbys, Dwayne; you have reason to be proud of their restored condition inside and out.
