Glad you got that..I picked up a blue one last summer and really like it, it's a smooth operator.. Now does yours have ribbed drive wheels or smooth ones with a flat spot like mine?

I am not sure yet.. I just won it last night so it'll take a while to get to me.. I hope it has ribbed wheels.. I REALLY want the blue one any ideas where I can get one?

I got mine locally of Craigslist, just lucked out. She also had a little red Hoover HandiVac I got as well.

Great find on the ESP selfpropelled machines. Yes, back in the day when Eurkea introduced them (blue first '79) They quickly learned the need for the ribbed wheels. I never changed any in my shop during the mid 80's. I did sell several of them during that time. There were a lot of them
sold in the columbus/Dayton Ohio area. I think I have only
seen one in a thirft store or flea market!
