Nice find! Even though it’s missing the original plaid bag, it has a genuine Eureka replacement bag. I can look to see if I have an original outer bag. These ESP models definitely have more suction and what I do with mine is set the carpet adjustment on a higher setting. I’m with you that the...

That’s a great find! You don’t find these Eurekas in good shape very often. Hopefully you’ll post pictures once it’s all cleaned up.

Tolivac- I’m frequently in Eastern North Carolina. I have a few relatives in the Kinston area which isn’t too far from Greenville. Stephen

Hi Rick! I live just outside of Raleigh. What part of North Carolina are you in? I’ve lived in NC for 7 years and I haven’t met any collectors in the RDU area or NC yet. Feel free to hit me up sometime. Stephen

Hi Brian, I live just outside of Raleigh in Garner. I collect Hoover Convertibles and Eureka F&G uprights. Hit me up sometime. Stephen

Thanks Eurekaprince! I’ve been fortunate thru good friends and good luck to have acquired the vacuums I have. I can’t wait to get my vacuum room organized the way I want it to look and really make all those colorful vacuums stand out.

Greetings! I haven’t posted here in ages but I wanted to share my updated collection since my move to North Carolina. My collection consists of Hoover Convertibles and Eureka F&G uprights ranging from the mid 60’s to the mid 80’s. My vacuum room is a work in progress and I’m going to make some...

Hi There...I would be interested in the Harvest Gold U4119 Convertible and the Red Striped U4387 Convertible. My zipcode is 22042. Stephen

That's a very nice collection that you have there! I especially like the Red/White Eureka upright with the red paisley print bag! That is a rare machine and I have never seen one in person. Did you find that at a local thrift shop or vacuum store? Thanks for sharing! Stephen

Let's not forget that most of these "made in China plastique" machines will probably end up in the trash after about 6 months of use. I remember as a kid just loving to go the vacuum section at either Service Merchandise, BEST, Monkey Wards or Target and there would be lots of Hoover...

Yesterday I received a package from Sam Geresti aka xraytech. When I opened the box I couldn't believe what I saw...a boxtop bag Hoover Convertible. The model# is a U4195-001. The only other collector that I know who has this model is Alex Braun. This is an early 80's plastic base model and I am...

Mark...I do not have your email address. Stephen

Hi Mark, Is the blue Hoover Convertible with the square hood/no headlight and blue bag still available? I would also be interested in the similar yellow/white Hoover Convertible as well. I am definitely interested in these two machines. Thanks! Stephen

Thanks Fred! I will definitely bring it to Minneapolis! It runs great and it is very smooth to push. Plus it cleans and grooms the carpet very well! Stephen

Here is a closeup of the hood. Sorry about the crooked picture.

Lastly, here is the navy blue ESP. I do not know very much about this particular model. I don't know if it was a promotional model or a showroom model maybe? I have never seen one in a catalog or on Ebay or anybody's collection. This runs great and I love the color combo of it. One of the...
