Ok So I went to my local "family" thrift store called povarellos where I found this a dial a matic green an brown. No pics yet. My question is any help with attachments I like this vac. It will be my first full resto. I need wands and brushes. Any history or comments folks.

here is what I have. I cant believe the hose is in better condition than the vac lol. The bearings need some good lube and some cleaning for sure. I can not wait to finish it. I really think its a cool looking vac. I just bought a house so it has been on the back burner. I bought it while waiting to close on my house need some anti stress.

I still love my Swivel-Top Cord Reel model, but I'd like to find one of these, the plain or fancy model. Someone in the club can fix you up with the wands and tools.

I would love wands and tools

My question is do you think cleaning and refurbishing the bearings would help make it less grinding lol. And are bearings hard to find.

I don't know how hard bearings are to find, somebody could clue you in on that real quick. It probably could just use a lube job though.

thanks

I just recieved my vintage princess the other week while moving into my new house it too needs some bearing work. Apparently the cloth motor covers included in every bag were just extra parts to the previous owner is what I assume. I love these Eureka hard side cannisters.
