[QUOTE="paul, post: 471681, member: 972"] [b]Model 1402[/b] I did want to mention an anomaly regarding the Model 1402. Its hood engineering and styling, E/W logotype decals, and bag cover are hallmarks of the Eureka budget F & Gs of the mid-1970s to early-1980s; yet its computerized ratings decal indicates a 1989 production. One would take for granted that this was a company rebuild; except for the fact that appliance and home furnishings stores advertisements I located for it were from 1981 to 1990. So this is yet another example of Eureka's huge variety of options as well the implied use of overstock after main production. I wouldn't think the 1402 would have sold like hotcakes during the '80s, but it likely catered to budget- and no-frills-minded shoppers.
