I have never seen or heard of these machines before. Does anyone know when they were made and where they are from? The link attached says it was serviced on Long Island and list the address. This address is less than 15 minutes from my house and there are no stores on that road, just a senic, quite, winding North Shore road with million dollar homes on it. The machine looks like a knock off of an Electrolux so I could see why they would try to sell them here, since Electrolux was always "the vacuum" to have. Was this a rebadged European Electrolux? Thanks! -Steven |

Very interesting machine for sure! At first I thought it was a Canadian machine made for the Eatons department stores, especially considering that it has a Eureka-made power nozzle on it. |

Hello guys, the vacuum cleaner branded viking was in fact made by electrolux, sweden, between 1979 and 1982, model D 720. No differences in the body, totally different hose( electrolux sweden didn't feature electric hose but the traditional white nylon covered standard hose, with power cord running outside) and the power nozzle. tommy from Italy |
