What year is this likely from? I think sometime in the 60s. |

What a beautiful vintage Eureka! Don't fret about the zipper - with care, I am sure you could get a tailor to replace this with a new one that works.
You'll be glad to know that this MW vac has been sent to you with the original Eureka Disturbulator brush roll: it's got a very effective set of three rows of bristles that clean just as well as one with beater bars. It would be great if you could find the attachment set that was designed for this vac - the hose attaches to a port that's revealed when you pull off the name plate on the front below the headlight. To divert suction away from the floor into the hose, you snap on a plastic "bottom plate" to the brush roll window and this seals the brush roll chamber and protects floors and carpets while you clean with the hose and tools. |
