That would be the year 1977-1978. In 1973ish, to 1977 Sears was on it's two tone green and wood grain kick, which lasted far longer than it should have. That said, the blue series like you have was technically a 1978 model year only because in 1979 they went to the beige and wood grain look...

Rob, Unfortunately the brochure only covers the canisters for that year in the brandywine color scheme. I will tell you this tho..I really do wish I had the upright brochure. A long time ago in a place far away, I visited Jeff Parker in Chicago, and we went to the large outdoor Flea-Market in...

Lubrication- I'm almost SURE there is a way for you to dismantle the roller and get to the bearings. I use a product at my store called Zoom Oil. It's similar in properties to 3 in 1, BUT it does not smell horrid, and doesn't stain the rugs if any drips out. Im not saying to saturate the...

Brian, You're right about the dust leakage issue. Unlike later cleaners which incorporated a neck the went into the actual bag cavity, Eureka just used a huge rubber doughnut gasket. In theroy you'd think it'd work, but in practice, not so hot.. The few Empress machines I have ever found...

I would suggest using a Simplicity 7000 Series belt or a Riccar 8000 series belt. It's wider and thicker than the Panasonic's, and should give you better service. I used to think that the Bernina was nothing more than a carbon copy of the old 7 Series anyway. In fact it may have even been built...

Did you not have that catalog out when I was over for my visit with you and Dave??? I seem to remember a catalog or two on the coffee table when I was there? If so I don't remember if and of them had the Brush and Beat Power head or not. I do remember one catalog having a couple of Swivel Top...

Okay, Lemme preface this by saying that I have been collecting vacuum cleaners for over 20 years and have been on almost every vacuum cleaner site on the internet that I could find at some point or another. I have had lots of opportunities missed, coupled with bad luck and timing when it comes...

A final reply.... to this thread not concerning the Hoover 7 Looking the withal of this thread over, I personally feel that all of those who have the fortunate opportunity to do so, should a a later ( or when it's) convienent; drop those departed members a line if you have the wherewithal to do...

Catalog Stores... Yes....Service Merchandise, Best (not BestBuy), Century House, Ardans, Appliance City, Whitmark (mainly a great lakes staple), Aldens, Gambles-Skogmo, MontgomeryWards, Sears-Roebuck and more have all fallen by the wayside within the last 30 years or so; all to be replaced by a...

Re; Regina 3 speed..Electrikbroom Terry, I just checked my Service Merchandise catalog tha was current in 1979-80, and that was their second TOL model behind the model with the ElectriKBrush nozzle. Your machine was the deluxe three speed with the Pulse nozzle and retailed for $59.95. The TOL...

Yes, Sadly, yes. they are both gone, and not for the good of the club. And I agree with you Jimmy wholeheartedly theat some grevious injustices were done. But what's done is done, and thankfully I do keep up quite well with both Jeff and Michael, who have both also chosen to make themselves...

yes please... that would be nice... Chad

Seamus, Yeah this is a pretty wild cleaner,,and IIRC he also said that this was then a B or a C line cleaner, and not as promoted as the newer square hood and full hood cleaners. However It did have a long production run as you stated, and there are still alot of them around... It's nice that...

Replies from me... First thanks everyone for the replies... Sam- Yeah Regina made canister vacuum cleaners thru most of the 1970's, up until 1978 or so. The usually had a few different models, e.g. above mine for example has an automatic Cord Reel with a chrome upper body, and the Rug Pulse...

Pete and Sam, Again thanks for replying. Pete- I never say anymore that lightening doesn't strike twice, but there are more to be had. I peruse all available, and obtainable thrift stores in the Ann-Arbor straight across to Detroit and downriver almost to Toledo area looking for machines. IF...

Pete and Sam, Pete- Yeah i do remember that you had one Identical I believe and did notice that hose that you had. In fact I do remember it cause it was in the main room downstairs, when we were using that cute little Dometic? Upright that was a Rebadged electrolux.... Sam- thanks for the...

This was another find earlier in the fall just before Thanksgiving. It was at one of my downriver haunts, and looked pathetic and dirty on the base. The bag was what sold me becasue it was virtually spotless and unfrayed. which for the early twill eureka bags is VERY rare.... Check out the...

I found this guy the day after Christmas Friday Dec 26th, at a Goodwill that is known for NEVER putting out vacuums EVER!!! In fact i very seldom shop there but for whatever reason I got the *twingle* and I stopped. What did I find? Probably the nicest Convertible 707 in exsistence... Another...

So, I was given this machine by Jeff Parker many many moons ago. The zipper jammed, and broke, and the hood was kinda all scratched up. After finding a donor machine last fall, I was able to resurrect it as near to stock as possible without going into too much trouble... So here it is my...

After visiting at great length at the convention with Victor Lee, he happened to pass on to Marty Rocha that I've been pining after a Regina Canister for many many moons. After a few pleasant conversations back and forth, this is what this awesome man sent me.... As I unboxed it.... I was like...
