Hey David My Electrolux Sanitaire has a slightly used Convertible/Senior belt on it- it works fine and seems less prone to stretching than the Electrolux/Eureka version. Jeff P gave me that tip :). Seamus P.S will shoot ya a Mail later ;) |

I may sound kinda dumb, but what do NOS and TOL mean. I never can figure out all these acronyms. And you should also try to paint the base and make it look all nice and pretty! |

Our family had a wonderful top-rated Eureka Cordaway Vanguard Model 2083 (the one with the gold box-top bag and flatter headlight) which had the same brush roll retention clips on the ends of the nozzle as this one has. They were really hard to release and put back. I remember having to use a large flat end screw-driver to remove the VG One in order to replace the belt, just because the clips were so hard to spring in and out of place. The 2082 was the original version that did not have two little "Edge Kleener" channels on the ends of the underside plate, but ours (the 2083) did and we got it new in 1974. So I'd place this model just before that year. I am excited to hear that the classic Eurekas ended up in the UK at some point too! I'd love to see some photos of them, if any of our European friends have any. It would be cool to see our Eureka Dial-A-Nap or Vanguard or Rugulator uprights with the Electrolux label on them! I had heard that even the old Eureka Mobile-Aires or Vibra-Beat canisters were given 220-volt motors and sold in Europe under another brand name. Anyone have any idea what name that was? |

Ours was the later incarnation with the flatter headlight, though. What a machine.....amazing. It lasted for close to 20 years without so much as one service repair needed. I think I needed to write Eureka once to get a replacement "Power-Touch" handle switch which had cracked a but - but that was it. Love the low hum of the motor created by the muffling of the heavy metal base. My mom loved the Cordaway! And that monstrous bag needed replacing maybe once or twice a year!
