    Eureka model naming theory?

    Does a letter K Does a letter K after the model number indicate Chrome? I saw an ad for the 238K that describes it as having a chrome hood, and my 260EK is chrome also.

    Eureka model naming theory?

    That makes sense That makes sense! In the research I've done in preparation for a vintage Eureka restoration guide, I've found that perforated vinyl bags were introduced around 1973. Dial-a-Nap, 1969. Rugulator 1967ish

    Eureka model naming theory?

    I'm also guessing that the middle digit indicates the level of the vacuum. So, a 1400 is a basic model, 1410 basic Dial-a-Nap one, 1420 a mid-range Dial-a-Nap, a 1430 a high end Dial a Nap?

    Eureka model naming theory?

    Hi! I'm wondering if Eureka used this as a naming practice: When a model ran out of letters (let's just use the 1401 A, B, C, D, E, F...), then, they'd move to a new name (1402A, B, C, D...)
