    I had the attachments in the OG box, I moved 5 years ago, and I have seen anything since the move. Hmmm. Tomorrow I’ll hit Banks vac shop by me, see what’s available there. Is there a 800 # to order off Eureka?

    I washed the Dirtbag in the laundry tub, it was filthy. It’s vinyl, it has some wear but i think it’s fine since you can’t get this color combo anymore, if I can, I’ll get a new one. I used chrome polish on the stainless handle, has scotch tape, elec tape sticky junk on it, all came out...

    I take that back, looks like some is avail, thanks. I’ll try them for parts. The light doesn’t work, if there’s 2 axle springs, one is missing. It’s time to fix this up before parts are disco’d. I recall seeing the owners manual, I’ll have to pull it out.
