I stand corrected.....

Someone got one hell of a bargain!

Id bet the seller is a bit disappointed!

Hope this is the right place to put this . . .

I actually owned one of these back in the '70s. This one looks like a real stunner. AND . . . I have to admit I wouldn't be telling a soul about this if I could afford to get into serious bidding.

I have a "vanguard" very similar with "full" tool kit. Mine is a 2081A with chrome hood rather than white, and a "lamae" squaretop bag. I'll bet this goes for a pretty penny!

Very nice Bill! Our family ended up buying the 1973 version of these Cordaway Rugulator Vibra Groomer Eurekas - the 2083 with flatter hood that can still be seen on many Sanitaires.

Here's my fondest memory of the advertising that Eureka did in 1970 for the Vanguard (it's the right side of a 2 page "Mother's Day" spread, so you only see half of the opening line....):

People can say what they want, but in my opinion, the "rugulator" height ajustment was one of the best made. I own several "dial a naps" and earlier eurekas with high/low rear axle, but rugulator could actually be set for just about every carpet type in the house, and really "fine tune" your ajustment.
