    Miele White Pearl

    Ver nice condition Jim! Why are you selling it? I wanted a new Miele, but hubby insisted on replacing our CV power unit. At least we don't have to buy bags or filters.

    Eureka Princess Canister TV Commercial

    Did the Sweet 16 bodied 1265 come with the Extruded aluminum Vibragroomer, or did you have to upgrade to the next model up in gold, or to the 1279 Brandywine?

    Canadian Electrolux ZB55 Owner's Manual

    I have a grey XXX but no original tools. I remember my Grandmothers US model she got around 1940 having the shiny metal flip over carpet tool with the X spot cleaner hole on the top, the shiny metal floor brush which was more streamlines and rounded on the corners than the ones in the preceding...

    The above schematic is the Vibragrromer 1. I saw a few different Sanitaire powerteams on E-bay with either the V-groomer II, III, world Vac style, and the final O3 types.

    🎉Happy 115th Anniversary, Eureka USA!! 🥳

    Oh absolutely Paul! The only problem with the steel bodied Eureka upright was that the fan was exposed to the dirt path. The fan was white metal and if any pennies or hard objects were sucked up, the fins broke off reducing suction which wasn't great to begin with. It was a $6 part, and later...

    🎉Happy 115th Anniversary, Eureka USA!! 🥳

    Like Ford, Chrysler, Chalmers, Fisher coach/body, Marquette, Cadillac, etc., and Motown, Eureka began in Detroit. Packard did not. Warren Ohio actually. Fleetwood body in Pa. Flint was the original GM town of Buick and Chevrolet. Then Oakland became Pontiac there. Oldsmobile in Lansing. Parts...

    Sanitaire S490A -- Original Power Nozzle?

    Vacuflo Model 26 Dating

    Oh, even still they are very encryptic. Our new one has no indication of the date in the serial number. It did come with the date tag included with the packing literature though.

    That Vibragroomer I has an actual sewing machine motor.

    NZ Electrolux machines

    I admire the euro Eureka's too. Sadly the only one I have is the first series blue Oxygen 6997. I regret not buying the Excellio version when I saw it new. I guess I like it because it's more Miele looking. When our central vac needed a new power unit, I wanted a Miele C-3 Mari blue, Red...

    NZ Electrolux machines

    The Excellio for the USA, branded for Eureka as the Europa home cleaning system had a modified three wire coupling on the canister end, and the Eureka gas pump handle with a three position switch. Power on, off, and brush on. Rather than the wireless remote control, the motor speed is regulated...
