Very nice! Yours appears to be the sleeve bearing model. The only way to tell the difference without disassembly is the rear bearing cover on the ball bearing model sticks out about 3/4 an inch and is about the diameter of a quarter, where the sleeve bearing has a small dimple no larger than a...

Made me one good 925!

I have been informed the handle fork is incorrect, it will be sorted tomorrow. It does not have holes for the rectangular badge, and the height adjuster knob is a standard metal one not bakelite. The base indeed has 875 stamped in along with 2 rebuild dates. It is still UK voltage but I found it...

It is pending. But I have a model 9 in the works that will be for sale very very soon as well.

$60! I need gone! Brand new bag, new wiring, and a mirror buff. Runs well, lots of suction. Yes I can ship, in 2 boxes for reduced cost. Thanks for looking

Thank you!! I can take some more pics of it soon. The incredibly strange airpath makes it my favorite vacuum. Shockingly powerful too!

It does appear that way from a distance, I thought yours was painted as well beforehand. It appears they used paint on this to be cheaper with metal finishing, as you can see on the lip of the nozzle the swirl marks from the mill(third pic)

I can get a better pic tomorrow.

Actually it is painted.. I don't have it on hand but you can see it best in this picture. It is a bit dingy but its hammertone silver. It has flaked off in a couple spots elsewhere on the machine

So neat! Given the odd shape of the handle fork I would say that is a G30 with the optional headlight and steel handle fork. Swirlator... No idea

Thats so cool! I wouldn't be surprised if this was their first commercial machine. Whats neat is that the postwar K and the M262 were made during the same period and only discontinued within one month of each other(supposedly.. they may have had surplus to sell until 1950? idk). Pic below...

Thank you so much. A friend showed me a pic of his M262 which had good paint underneath - the first pic. Very grey with no tint. So, to keep things looking as close to original, I repainted the 262 in grey.

It is indeed a D272. The roller is really neat, with 1 row on each side of thick bristles and one on each side of thin bristles. The M262 has a standard single row brush. Not long after I posted this a friend showed me his M262, which while beaten up was certainly more grey with barely any blue...

To wrap up, the following models I was not able to document in any way: Model C Auto Cleaner Model L Auto Cleaner K-60 K-60A GH-31-P R-41-P R-49 D174 And the following I was not able to document fully(ads included): Model 1 Model 5 Model 8 Standard #2 G30 G31 M-61 M-61A R-LC R-41 D171 If...

Eureka Juniors H and J respectively. The H came in 2 variants, sleeve and ball bearing. Early Js had a riveted box where the cord comes out, unsure of the purpose. Ads courtesy of Portable.

Eureka M262 "Master" This was the low end version of the D272. Featuring a single row brush, curved metal handle as opposed to plastic grip, and a one speed motor, this did not sell very well. It came in 2 tone with black and a gray/blue. Mine has been repainted in a lighter than original shade...

The Eureka D272. This model simplified the accents of the D171 to white, though some D272s used a matching red bumper and bag. Ad courtesy of Paul.
