We have many of that exact model at work! They certainly get the job done. I have also been very impressed 28th the Sanitaire Blue Line that I got, it had the same hood as yours originally but I swapped it out for a more vintage one which I love lol. Does yours have the VG1 or the VG2 brushroll? Mine had the VG2 with brand new stiff brushstrips right now but I want to put the VG1 in it. According to the serial#, mine is from 1987.
That is my favourite Eureka/Sanitaire hood style and it's so rare in chrome now. This is also my daily driver for now/ the one the maid uses paired with the navy blue Sanitaire canister for above-the-floor.
