Hi Ben Yes I do still have it :) Doug

Made in England and sold in many countries in the late 40s and early 50s. They were sold as the New Maid Delux in Canada. That colour was from 1949 (Earlier ones were blue/black)

I still have most of the family vacuums. On my moms side my grandmother only ever had one vacuum. A President which mom bought for her about 1954. On dads side my grandmother had a Goblin Ace and a Regina Electric broom (I didnt get the electric broom but have found the same one under the...

Hey Paul Love it - thats a very eye catching design. Looks like the cord might have been removable too. Doug

LOL That type of thing happened from both sides. When I was service manager for Electrolux here, one day we had a lady call that wanted to buy a new vacuum. The manager (who was fairly straight laced) went to see her as there were no salesmen available. He came back about an hour later white...

Hey Paul - Thanks for the information - very interesting

Hey guys. Does anyone have a set of Pink Lewyt parts (and / or aluminum wands) or the brown dusting and floor brushes for the machines pictured below that they would sell?

Thank you - I have the Presto Jr but this is the first time I have come across any reference for it or a date!

Hey Paul - The reason the Special Edition LE wasnt on the brochure was that it wasn't available through the stores. The ones on the brochure were mall show specials for the stores which had to be special ordered and were drop shipped direct to the customer. The Special edition LE was made for...

Instead of being fitted tight against a rubber seal the motors were suspended on a rubber gasket which dampened the vibration. That, along with balanced fans, good bearings and, in most cases, after filters effectively dampened the motor noise.

The slider switch was the original design and was used from 1986 till 1991

I should have the ends for a hose - havent had time to check though. Doug

The Canadian machines (which the original 2100 was - 1985-87) never had a second set of wands. When they remade the 2100 in the late 90s as a special sale machine they came with plastic wands for the floor brush if memory serves.

Here's what the attachments for that one looked like. As Jimmy said, you put the rug nozzle into the two clips while attached to the hose and wands and used it to guide the machine around.

Just a bit of information to throw in here. In Japan, Unlike the US, the major companies work together funding a single research division. Patents are held jointly and then the companies simply make modifications to the designs to their own specs. Hence a lot of the vacuums you see have parts...

Hey Paul - I also have a picture (below) of one other model that I have no clue what model number it would have been.

And, last but not least. A few pictures of Montgomery Ward machines, made by Eureka, that I have come across on the web

Another version of the 700 (also from the web)

Eureka W60 (Old reference pics from the web)

Model 700 that was for sale about a year ago on Marketplace. Unfortunately someone beat me to it.
