A big box showed up on my porch the yesterday and my latest eBay purchase was inside. It needs some repairs which I will be doing soon. I have been looking for a Eureka or Sanitaire with this style hood for a long time, I didn't even know that they were available in chrome until I saw this one. I have some big restoration plans for this vac!

Yes! A chrome handle with a blue handle grip & cord hooks (all new from Sanitaire) is exactly what I want for this. I would also like to put a blue 35' commercial cord on it as well. I would never paint such a lovely chrome hood, so I'll leave that alone. As for the bag, I've ordered a Sanitare Blue F&G Triple Allergen Filtration bag with the red yin-yang logo of coarse. And for the motor, I'm also going to order a 7Amp Sanitaire Heavy Duty Commercial Motor to put in this one for some extra power. I also plan to put a Vibra-Groomer 1 helix brushroll with the beater bars in it. I've never actually seen a vintage Sanitaire that was blue, did they have those? Or will this be the first one?

The new bag arrived today, but the company sent the wrong one. Ugh lol. I ordered one that was kind of a royal blue with the red logo. The one they sent me is a slate blue color and dosent have a logo. It looks like the one that comes on the new Sanitaire professional series vacs, but it won't match my blue bumper. Oh well, now I have to send it back and get the right one. Ugh lol

I thought this was a rare RetroVac. If this ain't a Retrovac, when was this Eureka upright produced? |

This has to be my favourite hood style that Sanitaire/ Eureka made. The only thing that this one lacks is the headlight but that isn't a huge deal for me. This one is the first one in that style I've ever seen in chrome so I had to have it lol. There were not many Sanitaires made with this hood style except for the very early ones I think.
