Picked up a real oddity today at the thrift! A very space age looking upright (kinda like a lightweight sweeper). It's 60's blue and actually has a beater bar. The beater bar is only, maybe 5" long. The really neat thing is, I don't think it was used much (maybe twice). No scratches, original grey Sunbeam paper bag installed (just a bit of lint and hair in it). Oh...and a price sticker on the back that says $29.75 and a hardware store insignia. Anybody heard of these? OK...who has sunbeam bags and belts these days? Guy |

Yes Pete, it is full of cooties! I didn't know other parts of the the world didn't know what cooties are. Marty, thanks for the advice of setting out cake, it would keep me busy! I don't have a camara, so I can't take a pic. But...when I do get one, and learn how to use it, I will have a lot of pics to take! Guy |

Dirty as can be! Even so, there is no cooling fan on the motor. It is cooled by the exhaust air forced through an approximately 2 sq. in. fuzzy-wire-mesh filter (akin to that found on a Hoover Dial-a-Matic) installed at the base of the bag housing. |

Marty, I love your Touch 'n Go, and your resourceful solution to the bag problem. I found two of these wonderful little Eureka Whisks a few years ago. The first one came with its blue vinyl shoulder strap, a blue plastic wand, crevice tool, brush, upholstery tool, and a short white vinyl hose. It did not have the plug in the face where the hose goes, so I taped a piece of cardboard over it. That one, and the one in the picture here, have the original bags and filters in them. One day I did find an opened pack of bags, but since they are so hard to come by, they won't be used until they have to be. The suction is great.
