3 Eureka Vac’s

[johnnyb59c]

wow-

I've never seen one like that with the chrome handle. the one I had was white. sometimes the white plastic ones would break and be replaced with a metal one. if you had yours since it was new it must be original. I did find an old Eureka with a similar bag and white cord like you're looking for for $10 it's like new. maybe you could use the cord and bag from it?

Now you got me thinking, maybe we replaced the handle. I can’t remember. The parts on that machine is sweet. But I hate to ruin a good vac for a few parts.

 

[johnnyb59c]

thats probably it

the only Eurekas I can remember seeing with the chrome handle were commercial Sanitaire- I remember growing up it seems like at least 90% of hotels I'd been in used them. and they must have been a good vacuum they still make them identical red and chrome.

Parts

Eurekas from the 70s until late 2000s are similar. The bulb it takes is the same as most vacuum's from royal, Kirby, Hoover, eureka etc.

Im

Pretty sure everything you posted will work. My Eureka cord away and Eureka imperial have metal handles. The coed away is painted and has metal cord hooks. The imperial has plastic ones.

I had the attachments in the OG box, I moved 5 years ago, and I have seen anything since the move. Hmmm.
Tomorrow I’ll hit Banks vac shop by me, see what’s available there. Is there a 800 # to order off Eureka?

 

[lesinutah]

No

Bissell owns Eureka. The uprights are now Bissell.
Banks vacuum is a good choice.

Johnny B thanks, I ordered that one. Now I just need the 2 hangar clips, I though there was 3, but the lower on mine, the hook part is broke off. So I need both, strange is I see the lower on line but not both. I don’t want them in black. Almond is what was on it.

I just found both cord hooks on Amazon. Now the bulb.

 

[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.

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.

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.

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