Got my 1974 Eureka Commercial Vacuum fixed today

[phoenixman2014]

I got my Eureka Commercial Vacuum fixed today at the Vacuum Store. Turns out it never needed a new brush. The belt was on backwards and the Springs were not holding the brush in at all. The machine now has new springs and it sounds so 70s. It is from 1974. The guy showed me the engraved year on the machine. He also told me it might have been made for a private company as well because it does not have the label on it. So it could have belonged to a hotel before. It does emit a nice smell after you vacuum with it. It does not smell like dust. So I will be making a new very nice video of it soon.

Great! Those vintage Eurekas are beautiful and such a workhorse.

Too bad I'm out of town and missed seeing it in person

I will post a video of it working pretty soon. I'm gonna show all of the machine in this video. It turned out it did not need a new brush after all. The springs were just very old and rusted and the belt was on backwards. But it has the most powerful suction I have ever seen. I vacuumed with it in my room and when you lift it up very slowly, you can feel sticking to the carpet very well. I think this is the best vacuum out of all the 3 I have, with the Hoover Wards coming in 2nd for best suction. I have a feeling a hotel owned this machine before the ebay seller acquired it. It's even more powerful than my parent's dust cup Sanitaire. Their Sanitaire does not stick to the carpet as well as this one does.
