Eureka Bravo II Widetrack models

You bet, Brian!

I was thinking you had all that knowledge in your head to make a chart, but I suppose that's a lot of details to keep straight after the passing of 20 years or so! Thanks for the tip on some YT videos with the info.!

I respect your fair-mindedness regarding the pro's and con's of your Eureka Bravo! upright. And, wow, the US & CA new price tags were a great deal for sure (funny idiom!)

Update on mine....

Got a new handle release spring as the first one disappeared when I took it apart somehow, new belts, plus some NOS parts including a brushroll, scroll assembly that contains the front bearing, and carbon brushes as I accidentally shattered one of the originals by forgetting to pull it away from the center in my excitement when I went to tap the shaft into place. As of now, the motor is almost back together- new brushes are wired in, I just have to adjust the shaft so the metal cooling fan will stop rubbing on the windings, set the CBs in place, verify that it is spinning freely and everything looks right before putting the case back on and reinstalling it into he machine.

Meanwhile, I will also wash the hood, attachments, hose, and spine/bag and lastly the base itself before letting everything dry this week. Next weekend, I will put it back together and hopefully it will finally run correctly again!

Stay tuned for the pics when I get done, too!

Glad you found a bunch of NOS parts and in the process of getting everything ship-shape. Looking forward to the photos of the resto!

It is back alive!

Finished the motor rebuild on my own widetrack Bravo II, a '99 Eureka The Boss Special Edition with a NOS scroll assembly and carbon brushes, put it back together and it runs like it is 1999 again! Just have to let the hose dry and put it back on, then find my wax so I can polish the hood. Videos of the first test run plus a video of it in use when it is complete will be posted to my YouTube channel "Princess Sofia".

Phat! So are you "gonna party like it's 1999"?

Perhaps I will! Either way, I will be vacuuming like it's 1999, haha!
