Does anyone know when Eureka went from 4 digit model numbers to 3? I have my mom's which is similar but maybe from 1983-ish, model 1942. It has a darker gray hood, with white trim and has a rugulator instead of the dial-a-nap, and does have the vibra-groomer II. I remember when I went to shop for it, I had an ESP at the time that I loved, but she only had two carpeted rooms, so I bought the 5.5 model, and I don't notice that big of difference in performance from the ESP model. Hers came with kind of a squarish plastic handle which I hated, so found a chrome Sanitaire handle with a white grip at a friends vac shop, so it has a much better feel to it. I also had him change the cord out to a longer cord, and my friend Philip(Kirbyvertibles) gave me a conversion tube for the bag so I can use the Sanitaire ST hepa bags in it. The outer bag is really attractive but just vinyl, so the hepa bags fit the bill for good filtration. It's a pleasure to use and I don't think there's a scratch on it. Poor mom never knew what upright she would find in her closet, as I wheeled and dealed vacs back then, but I was warned to never to sell her pink GE canister, or the fur would fly!
You gotta love those Eurekas! I hope you like it.

Nice vacuum congrats on the find. Yes, the headlight cover would be necessary. It would drive me crazy if I found a nice vacuum w/o a headlight cover!
I have the 630... I never use it though. It was a vacuum from my childhood... my "grandpa" (not blood related but a close family friend that took care of me when I was really young) bought it at Kmart when I was about 4 years old. He had that and a blue bagged Kenmore twin fan that turned on when the handle was released. I could never decide which to play with. I don't use it because I don't love it (much prefer the 1934A or the Sanitaire for actual use), but I keep it for sentimental reasons. The number 630 has followed me around most of my life (friend's birthdays, the number of my storage unit when I moved into my apartment, my employee number at work, was written on an old phone at work with as an extension for someone named "angel")... so I really can't get rid of the Eureka 630 even though I don't use it and don't have much room for vacuums I don't use/love.
Of the three pictured, I think the 631 looks the best. Classic shape and love the color.

631
My Eureka look just like the 631, but the bag is a lighter green (I cant tell from the pic if that one is green or off white) and the Sticker for the Dial-a-nap is white with only 4 hights.Mine is Model# 1486, mabe the 3 digit models are the better like the 631 has 6 hights on the D-A-N?

Hey Rick A. ! Your Mom sounds like mine, except the fur would fly if I put ANY upright vac in her closet. With her, it was a canister or nothing. BTW, were you lucky enough to get your Mom's pink G.E.? Later, Trg
I am still surprised that my mom wanted an upright vacuum sometime after we got the room sized carpet remnant, or the wall to wall carpet. First it was a red and cream Convertable from True Value Hardware, then the Concept with Power Drive, then the black Eureka Precision Boss I bought her twenty some years ago, to go with the black Mighty Mite she wanted so bad. Both are still here, and plastic or not, they only go when I'm dead.
Nice Find Davis! Here is my Eureka 632 along with the 631 and 630.

Love them
I think the only true "good" Eureks from the upright family. The Canned hams and Princesses were the work-horses of the canisters I think. Althogh the Express was one of my favorites they weren't the most durable =)

Eurekaboy could you please post more pics of you collection? I notice that you have a lot of nice looking machines, and have always been a huge fan of Eureka vacuum.

Steven, that burgundy ESP in the above picture is, in my opinion, the prettiest upright Eureka ever made, tied with the dark green one like John has. Yours is great!
