Great pics! Thanks for posting these Tom. I think the literature on old vacuums is as much fun as using them. :) Nicholas | ||

wow, had no idea the phrase "clean air system" had been used so early on...and combined with the antiqueish "positive agitation"! | ||

Anyone know when Eureka and Sears came out with their power drive models? Sears had a powerdrive twin-fan model in the early 70's prior to the duo-power models. | ||

Guy, Sounds like you have a U6039-030. These were built from '75 to the end of production. They came complete with tools. This model was one of the most popular made. --Tom | ||

Guy/Tom I have the blue one as well and it's a U6043 made in Burlington model.. last patent date on it is 1976. The Cdn models used different model numbers didn't they? | ||

Thanks Doug...cookies were great. Keep us posted on the 918 situation. You should post some before pictures and after pictures. Most of those great old machines suffered a terrible fate. I am glad that one is in your care. --Tom | ||

Pete... Yes, Canada had different numbers than the US models eventhough many of the models were very similar. Usually it was a color difference. --Tom | ||
