Eureka help.

[kirbyklassic80]

I just recently acquired a 1980's blue eureka upright, it's an esp with the bag in the front. If my camera had batteries, I'd get a picture. Anyway, the first thing I noticed when turning to vacuum on is that it was extremely loud and was vibrating very fast. So I take it apart, and find that the fan is broken, (it's not completely shattered, just two blades are broken). Does anyone know where I can find a new fan? -Daniel.

It's also a eureka ultra.

I believe those have the same motor as an F&G upright. I could be wrong. If it takes the standard round belt then it does. If so, a regular Sanitaire fan will fit.

Yup, Matt is correct, it uses the same fan as any old F&G vac. Once you get it fixed, you will REALLY enjoy that vacuum. I have 2 and love them. I think it was really good improvement on the original F&G Design!
