Finally got a power head for my Eureka

[lazzlazz]

..., I spotted a Eureka canister model 1279D with a matching Rotomatic power head, model 1231D, a set of three brushes, and a second set of wands for the princely sum of $20. Once I plugged it in to verify that it worked, I knew I was not leaving without the store without it, especially when the whole kit cost me less than I'd paid for that set of wands.

It's a pretty dark maroon (brandywine?) color ...

I think that's the same as the one I posted in this thread: https://vacuumland.org/threads/offe...l-1279-minneapolis-mn-twin-cities-area.46505/

The one you found is in better condition. Mine did have the plastic attachment holder mounted on the canister, but it broke over 20 years ago and in my ignorance, I through it away.
