My latest AWESOME find!!!

[dustin]

Eureka Model 2385 Cordaway! I found it at a local thrift shop, marked $24, but everything in the store was 1/2 off, so I paid $12. On first inspection, it was a bit dirty and had no belt- No big deal. I got it home, and threw a belt on. It runs great, everything works, although it could probably use a set of new brush strips (VG1). I did discover that there is a hole broken in the bag connector, which was taped over- again, no big deal. (The actual bag is in excellent condition, only a small worn spot at the bottom) Will glue a piece of plastic on from the inside. All original, metal fan, cord winder works perfect, power touch handle works, has a 2 speed, 3.5 amp motor that runs great. I can't believe the condition this thing is in, especally for its age (I'm guessing early to mid 70's?), only a few real scratches, mostly just scuff marks. I gave it a good wipe down and have vacuumed the whole house with it.

Right at home vacuuming the 70's red carpet in our guest bedroom- I didn't care for the carpet when we moved in, but it's in good shape and the color is growing on me. It's only in the one room though.

And after a bit better cleaning and polishing-

Beautiful "Continental" Eureka! It hails from mid to late 1970's...probably 1979 or 1978.

Love the streamlined hood and the classy cursive lettering on the front....

Yes, it does have a shag setting, but I don't have a carpet in this house deep enough to use it! The deepest pile carpeting in the house can be cleaned between "normal" and "high"
