3 Eureka Vac’s

[johnnyb59c]

awesome

you did check out the link I sent you for bulbs right? I checked amazon and the cheapest I found was over $4

 

[detroitdirtbag]

I got 2 for 6 on Amazon, if all the parts are rite, I didn’t even have to drive around. And it was all free ship.
I’d buy that bag from the earlier post if you want to sell.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

Thanks for all the help on this vac. I’m bummed I can’t font the box warpath all the attachments in since I moved.

 

[johnnyb59c]

Funny, when I cleaned up the inside, I used another vacuum on the vacuum. Lol

 

[johnnyb59c]

lol-

yeah kinda like mowing the lawn them using another mower to bag the loose grass

 

[johnnyb59c]

let me know what happens

I'm anxious to see end result

 

[detroitdirtbag]

The parts should be here by the 9th. I remember the old GF urning up 3 belts on the upright. She must have had the knapp dial down too far. It doesn’t happen to me. It came out so nice, glad I cleaned it up. The only part that looks crappy now it the torx bolt for the knap dial. I’ll wire wheel it and spray it flat black.
What’s the deal on the roller/ brush, it says new worn. Is that for the bearings on the ends?

 

[detroitdirtbag]

First of parts rolled in today for the upright, the cord hangar clips came today, Here I go again on why I hate online orders, they showed almond, dark gray shows up.
waiting for the buddy and the cord.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

Vac Parts are harder to buy that car parts, lol. They look ok, I guess I’ll use.

Nice

Glad you got the parts.
I have a newer regular sanitaire, red wide track newer sanitaire and my 74 cord away I'm tearing into cleaning them up.
I'm switching a cord out on the wide track. I'm doing fans on both new models. I may polish them but we shall see.
I'm not trying to hijack your thread I just literally got parts ready to go work on within the next hour.
Show pics of the parts installed.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

JohnnyB thanks, cord looks great. Same color. It looked more like almond in the Pic, It came in the mail today. Now just the bulb , then I can put it all back together

 

[detroitdirtbag]

At the bottom of the handle, there a split clear plastic sleeve. Does that go at the bottom under or on top of the lower hook?

 

[johnnyb59c]

beautiful

i'm not sure about the clear plastic sleeve. closer pic of it?

 

[detroitdirtbag]

It fits there, I gotta say I’ve never noticed it before, the bag has a plastic reinforcement there already.
Here’s a close up pic

 

[detroitdirtbag]

And what’s a good bag, I put one in I bought long time ago, it’s single ply paper, it can’t be a good one.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

I own and run a car forum, I love how you post something and other info comes from it, don’t worry about a hijack, lol.
Hardest thing yet on this was getting the cord anti pull grommet in, they didn’t supply a new one with the cord.
I didn’t find the white bumper band,

 

[johnnyb59c]

I don't know

I've noticed the clear things on about all I've seen(you're talking about the thing behind the handle on the bag?)

 

[detroitdirtbag]

Here, I took it off fir a pic. Funny, there’s a rip above the plastic protector on the bag, it’s from the cord winder clip.

 

[johnnyb59c]

looks like a spacer

antique models had cardboard ones like that at the bottom of the handle where it connected to the joint so it would fit tight. looks like that maybe what this is

Link

Your link doesn't work.

 

[johnnyb59c]

rip in the bag?

is that all thats wrong with it?

 

[detroitdirtbag]

Just a little wear on the bag in a couple spots. But it takes a liner anyway. the rubber bumper ring has a hose wore through on the corner. I’d like to replace that. I haven’t se3n any. This is like a dirty white.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

Here’s a few pics, I’m just waiting on the light bulb to put the top back on.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

So is this upright a F or a G?

 

[johnnyb59c]

F or G?

I believe it refers to "F&G" style disposable bags/liners

 

[johnnyb59c]

bumper

I'll try to find you a new bumper too(I wish I was good at CAD I could make parts like that on my 3D printer)

 

[detroitdirtbag]

I didn’t try the vac ship here yet, but I doubt it’s avail in my color.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

I got it all done today, ran a chrome pen around on the Knapp dial, and put a new bulb in. The new bulbs are shorter that the OG one. I haven’t tried it out yet. Still need a new bumper, but it’s not that bad if I don’t find one.
