Hello.
I am going to be starting an unusual project. I am going to piece together a red and chrome round top Eureka upright. I have a 1400 Series Eureka with a 5.0 amp Sanitaire motor that I swapped into the machine replacing the 4 amp. I like it except it is blue which clashes with all of my other cleaning implements which are red.
I am looking for a red base Eureka Upright or a Sanitaire base, handle, 6 position Dial-a-Nap knob, red bag and a chrome hood with headlight opening (not squared off style)that will work with the Dial a Nap.
I have a photo of a red Eureka that I found on the internet for reference as far as the type of hood shape I am looking for. No copyright infringement, disrespect or offense intended to its original owner- I posted it for reference only.
I decided that my ideal eureka would have a chrome hood (round) and chrome Sanitaire handle)or a royal/Electro Hygiene handle with the red grip which I think would be an interesting touch due to the toggle switch in the handle), a red Sanitaire bag and a Classic 3 cord which I would modify so it would work with the Eureka.
My end result will be a red and chrome round top Eureka upright.
Did they make a chrome hooded 2 speed machine with the speed control in the hood?
I once had a teal and white Eureka 2 speed with the selector on the hood which I regrettably gave away.
If anyone has any leads or machines they care to sell me for this project I would greatly appreciate it.
On this note, has anyone had a Eureka Hood chrome plated? Is the cost reasonable?
Any leads, machines, parts and info is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Derek.
