3 Eureka Vac’s

[johnnyb59c]

where did you get it?

the bulb? and the vac shop might be lucky and have white bumper guard otherwise
all I can find is black or clear

Here's a beige Eureka bumper that would fit...it's not the white version you need, but maybe it's better than nothing....

And here is a used white bumper that is for Eureka uprights - just needs a cleaning. The 1400 series and 2000 series uprights had the same bumpers....

Here's another brand new white bumper - though it's labeled Sanitaire Electrolux, the models that are listed are all Eureka models (1934, 2034, etc) Sweden's Electrolux used to own Eureka and Sanitaire.

Sweet. I’ll call them tomorrow. I’ll have to measure it first. Thanks

I got the bulb on Amazon, 2 for 5 something Free ship.
The vac is all back together, I haven’t fired it up yet though.

happy for you

i'm sure it will work fine. BTW- I enjoyed our chit chat over the Eureka the past couple of weeks. when the Eureka is all fixed up I'd like to chat some more where?

If you want to make your Eureka a high-performance marvel, swap out the wimpy motor for one from a Sanitaire. It will fit.

I don't know....the weaker motors from the 1970's were adequate in providing excellent deep down carpet cleaning. The later Eurekas with the more powerful motors seemed to have too much suction, thus causing suction lock on the carpet and too many belt breakages. Anything over 6 amps might be too strong for these uprights. I keep on hearing about Sanitaire belts breaking and I think it's because the motors are too powerful and the suction may actually be too strong.

I used it last night, it seems to run better, maybe it’s in my head like a car after the car wash, lol
The bulb must have burned out long ago, I don’t remember it ever working.

wait ago

my aunt had one identical but the base was white and the metal cover was dark green. never seen one since

I measured the bumper band on my vac, it’s like 46”. I don’t think you can stretch the new band in the link that much?

Heat

Put it in hot water it will fit. You have to realize the old one is stretched.

 

[eurekaprince]

Give them a call to check before you order. I am pretty sure the 40 inch one they are selling will fit your Eureka. Your base is identical to the models listed for the bumper they are selling. Eureka did not change the base that much for these basic Dial a Nap models. It's worth a try for only 10 bucks, I think.

 

[detroitdirtbag]

Yes, your rite. I’ll give it a shot. 6” just seemed like a lot to stretch. TWSS.
