    Carbon brushes for Eureka 667 (K-Mart label Sweet 16)

    Thank you all! I got the brushes out and they actually DO seem quite long still, with only minor chipping along the edges. And yes, no burn marks because I stopped it as soon as sparks started flying! 😁 Knowing to clean the commutator helps! I'll do that and report back! What would the signs...

    Carbon brushes for Eureka 667 (K-Mart label Sweet 16)

    I've got a Eureka 667, which appears to be substantially a Sweet 16, and which another member informed me was a K-Mart exclusive model number. One of the brushes is sparking and squealing badly, usually about 30 seconds after powering on. I've disassembled the machine entirely and cleaned it...

    Cen-Tec tools The Cen-Tec tools and wand I bought to hold me until I can find the proper original tools just came in, so have a picture!

    Oh, thanks! That helps quite a bit! I was wondering why it was so hard to match the 667 model number to anything (except that Youtube video and an *bay listing). It looks quite a bit like some 1200 and 1600 models, now that I know 667 wasn't a "real" model number. I ordered some generic...

    Which attachments fit Eureka 667 canister?

    Thank you! That gives me just the place too start looking! I am trying to set this up for use, but I'd also like to stick at closely as possible to the original look as I can, so I'll start hunting! I'm always so glad there's a fandom for everything, because of something's not in my own...

    Which attachments fit Eureka 667 canister?

    I recently bought a house, and buried in the shed was a beautiful green Eureka 667 canister that works perfectly! Except, it has no attachments or wands. It appears based on the drywall dust I cleaned out of it that someone had turned it into a dust collector for some renovations at some point...
