I found this on craigslist last night and just couldn't resist. According to the guy I bought it from for $5 it was in his grandmother's livingroom until just recently and hasn't been used since 1960!
Original right down to the Belden cord and plug. This baby is a cleaning machine! The motor runs soooooo smoothly and quietly, all you hear is the rush of air.
If Eureka had continued to sell a canister like this from 1972 and of course during the 1980s, it would've been teamed up with their Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle.
