Gareth, do you have one of these uprights? I'd love to see pics

I've never seen

a Panasonic blender before, but I remember those ball radio's, and the upright Vacuum in the brochure was also sold by Eureka as the Emperor upright.

Here it is.

I am going to get it sorted out.

I love this!!! So was this late 60s or was this a 70s vacuum?

 

[gsheen]

I think 70's

No info exists about it on the web from my searches

That's a Eureka Emperor. Style P bags.

Thanks for posting that Tom
From what i have read on vacland the Emporor was made for Eureka by panasonic.

The two machines are so similar but the major difference is the motor setup. From a pic i saw on a thread here the Eureka has a vertically mounted motor were as the panasonic has its own style motor mounted horrizontely as seen in the above pics.

The Emperor motor sits horizontal, and has a belt changing tool. The metal fan is awesome, moves a ton of air.

HI Tom

Thank you, My mistake , I found a picture on Vac land and it looked like the motor was vertical like a normal Eureka.

Looks awesome I will take some better pics of mine later

So, this Panasonic vac is not a Jet Flo, right? I don't see any Jet Flo markings and it appears to be a direct-air machine, just with the motor set further behind the brushroll and at a 90 degree angle, or am I mistaken?
