[dialanap]

I know there is already a thread where those who collect Hoovers are showing pictures of there vintage Hoovers. I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of the vintage Eurekas and or Sanitaires in there collections that they would like to share? I would love to see them!

Here's my Eureka 2088 A that I restored during the end of last summer! It is just waiting for a new cord as this one has split in several places as shown in the picture where you can see some electrical tape. Other that that it runs great! Especially with the Vibra-Groomer I in it

Empress II with Power Team Power View Nozzle

Formerly from the house of Ben G. (massagemiracle) comes this: a circa 1982 Empress II (1200 series) with the second-generation Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle with Vibra-Groomer II and Power View.

Brandywine Express

A bit confusing replacement for the Empress II, rather belated, was the Express, introduced in 1986.

ben.....

that Empress is not form 1982. its form 1976. thats has a replacement power nozzle,that should have had the original style woodgrain headlighted nozzle. and if you take that apart the cord winder is dated.... has the month day and year in a pice of paper on one side of the winder...

GREAT PICTURES EVERYONE!!

This is GREAT keep the pictures coming! Jason, I love your Brandywine uprights! That Wild Moss Continental is to die for! I would love to find one someday. Bud- That 260 is just beautiful! Ben- I LOVE that Empress II. My mother had the Montgomery Wards version of it when I was growing up. Seeing it brings back some good early memories. Thanks again everyone!!

Rainbow R-1024

I am going to include pictures of the Rainbow R-1024 power nozzle since it was made by Eureka. First version has the "Rexair" script logo, and this label type was produced from 1974 to 1976.

~Ben

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

Rainbow R-1024 (1977)

Here is another R-1024 nozzle, seen with the D2 unit of the period. Photo is by Fred S. This label has the "Rainbow" script on it instead of "Rexair," and produced from 1977-1978.

~Ben

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

Rainbow R-1024 (1979)

The third label used on the R-1024 has a solid brown background, with the Rainbow script on top and silver/yellow-orange gradient stripes below. The color of the power cord on the nozzle changes from white to brown, too. This coincided with the change of color of the D2 unit from copper to chocolate brown. Production was in the 1979 calendar year.

For 1980, its final year, the script and stripes would switch positions (read: the stripes will be near the top of the decal, and the Rainbow script below them).

Rainbow R-1024 (Post-1980 Rebuilds)

The decal used on all rebuilt Rainbow R-1024 nozzles since late 1980 (when Rexair had begun production of its own R-1650 power nozzle to replace the Eureka-made R-1024) is similar to the 1977 version of the label but uses a darker woodgrain inlay.

I'd like to wonder what model did that Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle (with Power View and Vibra-Groomer II) with the yellow stripes belonged to?

~Ben

 

[papasvacs]

Here's my two....

Eurekas. 


RotoMatic Gold Crown came from Ben.  Replaced the upper and lower bearings and it runs fantastic.


Upright came from eBay.  Put in a new Sanitaire motor and it is awesome.

Eureka Ironsides 1789 Canister

Photo by K. Logan Hall - this is a Eureka 1789 Ironsides canister with Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle. Produced from 1989-93 (this example was built in 1992), this is said to be the last of the canisters with the 1973-style Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle (although, the Power View version, as seen here, first appeared in 1981).
