My goodness Tom Gasko! That is some collection!
I think I remember you from another forum back in the 90's. You recommended an Air Way, rather than a plastic machine.
I thought all Air Ways were made in Toledo Ohio, none by Eureka. The Sani Way was made by Vacu-Way also of Toledo. Any chance the same company?
In any instance, Eureka did not make any junk until at least ten years after AB Electrolux bought them.
