Eureka Self Propelled...

[kenkart]

Most of you who know me know I rarely even LOOK at anthing if it less than 40 years old...but this was in such good shape at the Yokefellow thrift shop,I figured for 8 bucks I couldnt go wrong, man...I had forgotten just how well these clean!

A few scratches..

On top and FULL of carpet fresh,but I gave it a once over and replaced the paper bag and belt, works like new!!!

Nice I've never seen one in person yet. Yours looks almost new.

Love mine. They have a much smoother power drive than the DAM I think. A steal for $8

Very nice find, Hans...

Those are excellent machines.. some of the best Eureka ever made!

Congratulations! I agree... a real steal for $8!

Thanks for sharing!

Thats the exact same eureka i was talking about in my topic over in the vintage forum! (Whats youre opinion on Eurekas?) I thought i remembered it saying "upright" on the bag, but this picture made it clear. It says eureka! I should go buy it if the still have it...

There were some generic bags with a similar striped design that had "Upright" printed on them, obviously to look like the originals, but not to infringe copyright by using different text...

But like some generic Hoover bags saying "Vacuum Cleaner", "The Senior/Junior Cleaner" or "To Fit - Whatever Model"...

Perfect example of the bag I'm on about:
