Is it a brandywine (color) series? These along with the companion series powerteam canisters sold so well, they really gave Electrolux a run for the market share in the seventies. At just about the time the other Electrolux bought Eureka. (AB Electrolux in Sweden) |

I have the butterscotch? one. Killer vacuum! Self propelled. It has a very thick bag and doesn't "spew" any dust to speak of. Would anyone like it?

the color of this wasn't brandywine but just simple rust. The letter D indicates it was produced later in the run. The first being A. through out the years they would make small changes in a model like go from a vinyl bag to a cloth, or make the cord longer, or maybe change the bumper etc. Every change would mark a new series of the same model and the series will be the letter. Or at least that's the way I understood it. There were several of these self propelled models from the 70s-90s. The early ones being the blue, rust, and creamish tanish. They also made another rust one with the 16" wide track base for heavy duty LARGE homes (very deluxe) On the bottom of your base if you look hard you will fine a very small time dial aka a nipple molded into the plastic. Around this nipple will be 2 numbers stamped into the plastic (example 78 for 1978 or 85 for 1985 etc.). These 2 numbers are the year your very unit was produced. Beings this one is a series D i'll bet your numbers will be something like 83 |
