    [Habitat Restore Find] Eureka 2364 A

    The Money Machines by Eureka 1977... Here is a fairly decent look at the brochure I spoke of before. It shows all of the Continental series machines and all of their Vacuums in fact for that year. It's a beautiful brochure and one that I am very very fortunate to have as I don't think there are...

    Killing, and good looks..Oh My!! I wont disagree at all that they are cool looking. In fact that helped sell them. To me, it kinda resembles what would happen if you crossed your eyes and other things, you mated Air-Way DirtMasteR from the 30's; with it's sister an Air-Way Twin motor of the...
