Estate Sale Eureka

That's a super-cool find! Looks to be in spectacular condition! I love the "Super Power" script on the Eureka nameplate. I assume that pops off to accept a tool converter? I assume that was marketed as a commercial cleaner, and it looks like it has more durable, perhaps nylon wheels than its domestic counterpart. My Eureka "Twin Power Automatic" is from about 6 years earlier than this one and has plastic wheels. One of the rear wheels broke to pieces. I have since found a replacement.

Thanks for sharing!

huh....

3.35....are u shure?....that a odd amp rating.....ive seen only 3.0 , 3.2, 3.5, 4.0 , 4.5 , 5.0 , 5.5 , 6.0 , 6.5 , and 6.7amps...and in meatal based nothing over 3.5amps....even for the Tol machines....and eveything 4.0amps and above was for the plasic based series in the 80's and later....

Yeah. 3.35 amps. sounds like a slowed down pancake motor.

I knew that 1926700. I was just showing how the motor pretty much sounds in that Eureka super power. =)

Got the new black outer bag that lets me use F&G bags - it seems to work MUCH BETTER now! I'm still looking for a brushroll that will work. I thought the black bag complimented the lines of the vacuum better - I've also always thought that all machines should be either black or gray. What do you think?

 

[briguy]

Graham that's a beauty! Love how it polished up. And I agree that the black bag does compliment the machines lines. What a wonderful addition to your collection.

 

[hoovercelebrity]

That looks really sharp with that black bag. Good call! And you can't beat a paper bag vs. a dumpout.

This would work in your machine...

Found a "square end" brush roll at the "old timer" vacuum shoppe by me. The "old timer" behind the counter said he had at least 8 of them in the back for $17 each (which is a much friendlier price than what I was finding on eBay). If anyone needs one, let me know and I can pick one up and put it in the mail to you.

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Just sent you an e-mail about those square end brush rolls -- I've got an old Eureka 2000 series machine that could really use one!</span>

Cleveland Wood Products makes some square-endcap brushrolls for Eurekas. Even all-brush ones!

I have heard great things about CWP Brushes.
