One for all you Eureka fans (I think I can hear a couple certain Hoover fans groaning in the back ground - you know who you are)....This is the Model 1945 B, almost brand new! A couple small nicks, but basically looks unused.
I couldn't get over how nice it was. I think it came from a rather vacuum-unsavvy home, since the belt was on backwards, and the outback was on backwards (no small feat). But with a quick wipe down, she looks fab.
I've got one of those, but yours is in much better shape than mine. Like most Eureka models like this, it's a real beast. The VGII brush roll has a great sound too.
In that second post, I was trying to say that the "outer bag" was on backwards, not sure how I got "outback". A lesson in there about martinis too early in the evening, I think.
I just picked one of these up the other day in really good shape, I bet it'll look like brand new once I clean this thing up Love these vintage Eureka uprights!
Beautiful Eureka! Simple, powerful and effective. Yet not too heavy to bring up a flight of stairs to a second level or down to the rec room in the basement.
