Eureka & Hoover Parts

[jimvac]

I am just starting out in buying and restoring older vacuums. I bought a Hoover and a couple of Eureka canister vacuums. No problem finding parts for the Hoover but the Eureka parts are very hard to come by! I have been all over the web at different sites but most just list newer recent models. My Eureka's are from the 70's and 80's. I would appreciate any info on where to find parts for these.

What parts are you looking for? I know many of the old parts have been discontinued, your best bet might be finding some old stock items in someones storeage room. Let us know what your looking for, I may have some items you need.

Saved From the Junk Pile!!

Was at a thrift store one Saturday and spotted this 1983 Hoover S-3199 Celebrity QS. Not in too bad of shape. Mostly dirty. It did need some minor parts...wheels, bag, filter, belt, etc. I tore it all apart and gave it a GOOD cleaning! Luckily the parts I needed to replace were still available. It has the Quadraflex power foot with floor and carpet selector. The vacuum itself has TWO speeds, low and high. It also has an automatic cord rewinder. There are no attachments. I can find them in BLACK only. WHITE or matching GREEN would go nice with this! Anyone out there got any for sale??

Eureka 1270 Series Roto-Matic Power Team

I am devastated!! I found a cool Eureka 1270 series vacuum online. I bought it and had it shipped to me. I came home tonight and there it was! I opened the box and it was DAMAGED!!! The handle is smashed and the accessory tool bracket is cracked. Not fixable. I hate to return it but cosmetic parts are NOT available. In fact I cant even find a website that will recognize the model number that is right on the vacuum. Why are Eureka parts and diagrams so hard to find. Hoover parts are much easier to locate. Well time to go look at might have been....

That Celebrity is beautiful!  Great find!  You'll find the attachments eventually -- they originally came in a minty green to match the machine.

Hoover Celebrity QS S-3199

Yes! The Celebrity is a cutie!! The two tone green with the shiny chrome really makes it stand out. It did come with the minty green crevice tool. I was surprised how good the vacuum and the tool cleaned up. Scratches and mars cleaned up really good! This weekend I will have to sit down and see what parts I might need for it and the Eureka. Hard to believe the Celebrity is 30 years old!

Hoover parts

Ok, this is what I am looking for for my Hoover. It is a model S-3199 Hoover Celebrity Canister. I am looking for all the attachments that fit on the top of the vacuum. They were originally a light minty green in color. NOS would be great,lightly used would be ok too. Attached is a picture of the Hoover. Let me know what you might have or where I might find them.

i have hoover attachments

I have some beige lightly used/ NOS attachments that might work for your Celebrity. The only part I am iffy on is the floor brush, not recalling if I have one tucked away or not. Shoot me an email if your still looking.

I also have a few old stock parts for Eureka canisters. I do recall seeing one carry handle somewhere.
