I think that's a bit newer than '60s. My guess is '80s or '90s. Looks good! Good luck! ~~K~~ |

A Hoover belt won't work. It's too small. I think your going to be supprised by how well it cleans when you get a belt on it. These Eurekas are just amazing on carpets. |

The belt you need should be one of the most common on the market. They are still used on a number of current Eureka models. The stretched Hoover belt would probably work just fine if you want to try that. |

the hoover belt will work just fine. I use them all the time because the eureka belts stretch too easily. I think. |
