A Few Recent Purchases..

Instead of making 3 separate threads for these, I figured I'd just throw them into one.

I have been after a nice Eureka Roto Matic Power Team for a while and I stumbled upon this beautiful blue one last night for $10. This is in fantastic condition, just needed cleaned up. I was surprised to find that the power nozzle was used probably less than 10 times. It came with a perfect, non-stretched, genuine Eureka belt on it. The brushroll had no hair or string wrapped around it, there was no dirt or dust around the motor, and there were barely any scuffs on it. Unfortunately it only came with the crevice tool and dusting brush, but I do have an upholstery tool for it. I'm sure I'll be able to scrounge up a floor tool at the Vac Shop. The hose has some tape around where it meets the handle, it's pretty discolored, and very stiff, so I'd like to get that replaced in the near future.

By the way, these are just cell phone pictures so don't expect top notch quality.

I found the Eureka a few weeks ago at a yard sale for $5. It was just one of those things that I couldn't pass up. It's in really good condition and works perfectly. I've only given it a wipe down, so I still need to detail it. I'll probably put that on Craigslist pretty soon or give to a friend of mine at the vacuum store.

I found the Sunbeam last week at a thrift store for $15, and I'm not sure why I even bought it. It's neat, but not my cup of tea. It runs nice and smoothly though. I'll probably give it to another friend.

OMG!!!! Those blue Eureka RotoMatics are so awesome and cool looking. As much as Ilove mine, I would love to get my hands on a blue one as well. Here's my 1784B. Way to go, great scores on all 3. I never used the 2 uprights but you'll love that canister!!!

Whenever you get a chance I'd love to see a shot of the agitator cavity on your power nozzle. Do you have the matching Eureka upright of that color?

That Eureka hold a special place in my heart as this is what my Mom bought new in 1989 after her gold 1970 power team crapped out. I never really see any matching peices that would go with this set other than the little princess. Was there an uprught that would have matched this? Also was this a higher end model? I still have her's and she still kicks but after being used many years 3 times a day.

Great finds!

I love the Sunbeam! I've never seen one like it. Is it a Singer built?

That is a Singer type twin fan upright and this one would have a metal base
