it's underbelly. I think it's in pretty good shape! The bristles seem kind of wimpy, but I have to say the vacuum does clean well. Even on my cat hairy carpets!
Dial-A-Naps made later than that date would have ventilation slots on the hood, and would probably not have a model number in the famous 2000 series (it would probably have a number in the 1400 series.) If it's Model 2010, then it is the bottom of the line model from the same year that the Vanguard Cordaway Rugulator came out (Model 2070). The cord hooks are also metal and are shaped like those from 1960's Eureka uprights. I don't know if we can use the beater bar brush roll to date the vac as that may not be original to the machine.
These classic Eureka uprights are great carpet cleaners, and prove that you don't need a lot of wattage or bells and whistles to get a carpet clean. The secret? The famous top-filling F&G bag that Eureka has used since 1960!
Other Eureka experts - please jump in with your thoughts!!!
anyone else notice the rocker type power swtch? dont beleive i've ever seen another eureka with that tup switch... wonder if its rare, or a vac shop switch replacement..
That is an original switch ,it was a very good switch compared to the newer step on switch . It just cost too much to use so they dropped it . I have a brand new one in a box I bought on ebay a few years ago for $25.00 before the prices went crazy .
