I'm assuming the C9 came out after the C6, I absolutely love the motor sound of the C6, a very smooth running two stage Ametek motor, that motor was used in a lot of vacuums at that time. Mike |

It started around the late 1940s with the Model 1 Compact ( not C1). Here are the models that followed (not including Revelation or Standared models as I'm not sure when they stopped making them)
C-2, C-4 (introduction of ABC power nozzle and fully electric hose), C-5 (introduction of swivel caster), C-6 (now has double casters and was the last model to have the ABC power nozzle), C-7 (Has Turbenette turbo nozzle) C-8 (introduction of the Eureka made power nozzle with cord wrapped around hose) C-9 (re-introduction of electric hose) C-80 C-80-2 (last of the Eureka made nozzle and somewhere in here was the introduction of the Compact/Tristar made power nozzle) Tri-Star CXL (still using Eureka made nozzle) Tri-Star CXL 2 speed now using Tristar made power nozzle, CXL Gold 50th anniversary CXL light grey/blueish color CXL Grey speckled (introduction of crush proof electric hose) DXL (introduction of greared belt system), theres one more model here that is still the old style but I for get the model number. After that is all Areus owned EXL MG1 MG2 MG3 and CS |

The Revelation and Standard models from what I understand were sold through stores and the Compact was door to door. I'm not sure how many models of each there were. I know there were C-2 and C-4 of Revelation and Standard. What ever model of Compact was out at that time the Revelation and Standard were basically the same model . I have a Compact C-4 standard with ABC power nozzle and its model number is C-4SPB. The S is for standard and PB is for power brush.
I've seen Revelations in Blue and green. The standard was a pinkish tan color. I wish I knew more about these. |
