The Eureka B(Special). Mine has a genuine replacement bag. This used a much larger motor, but kept every other piece of the 9. Sold alongside the Standard as the budget option. Ad courtesy of Portable.

The Eureka 9. Mine is a 32 volt DC version, but AC 120 volt versions have a standard black aluminum tag. 9s before the 1 million mark had a longer handle and a rear housing with slightly bigger vent holes. The first to have a pot metal switch tab, and all 9s had a handle fork catch on the back...

The Eureka 8. Still speculative on this but some patent drawings back my theory. The first with a cast handle fork(no catch), the first with wheels behind the head, but the last to use the old style friction fit bag. Bag in pic is a replacement.

The Eureka 7. Early 7s had the old style bag and a brass name plate, but later ones like mine had an aluminum tag and a bag with an updated logo and spreader at the top. Ad courtesy of Paul.

The Eureka 6. Much like the possible 5, the only change this one appears to have is the addition of a rear caster wheel instead of a fixed one. Pics courtesy of Royalsuper.

The Eureka 5. I have not found any ads or photographs of the 5 as of now, so will reuse the photo below of what I think the 5 could look like. No tool port, but keeps the stationary back wheel and uncovers the front wheel. Also adds a comically curved metal handle.

The Eureka 4. This one had covered front wheels, a permanent back wheel, was the first to use a handle fork, and the last(?) to have a straight wood handle pole. Ad courtesy of Paul.

The Eureka 3, this one had front wheels added for improved mobility

The Eureka 2, this one had an attachment port.

The Eureka 1! I cannot find any actual photographs of this, just the one ad courtesy of Paul.

Only thing left to do is buff the belt cover and fill in the letters with white paint!

Not the greatest color match but it will do. Slate grey would not work as the tool kit is blue and the old paint had a blue tint. But then the old paint was so faded and damaged I am not 100% sure what it is supposed to look like, as the only other images I can find are B&W.

Paintless

I swore up and down the M262 was all brown.. It is not. I got a real one today. It is black and greyish blue. Resto in the works!

Johnson City Tennessee.. metal cap brushroll.. metal fan.. Is this a Jimmy Martin rebuild?

I might have a brushroll. It wouldn't have any bristles though

Could I see a pic of the light bulb "cavern" on the GE? On this design the belts tended to wear through the metal until there was a hole in the casting behind the bulb.

Very nice! I have one of those too

It sounds like he already has arranged a buyer for this..
