That BAG! The crowning example of 1970s design.

One more. A yellow machine in a yellow hallway makes a crazy golden overload effect.

Yes it does have the power switch in the handle, as well as a two speed switch. Its the very top model offered for the time. | ||

The toggle switch should actually have 3 settings: "low" with Power Touch activated, "high" with Power Touch activated, and "attachments" which gives you high power and no Power Touch. The attachment setting bypasses the Power Touch bar in the handle to keep the motor constantly on for tool use.
To make it easier to set the Rugulator, always adjust it with the handle in storage position while you tilt the handle back to lift up the front of the cleaner. This makes it easier to slide the adjuster. | ||

top of the line Eureka Did having the box top style bag create more suction or was it just for looks? | ||

I think it allows for the top of the bag to expand more, but honestly, I don't think its that much of a difference. The bag was just over the top in pattern design. Kind of frail though. | ||

cord clip Until you find the right part try an old fashioned clothes pin with strong spring.Can also be used with some canister winders that wont lock. | ||

Hey Brandon, WOW great Eureka loving the 70's styling great find. We never had box top bags in OZ, I think Hoover only did a couple of models in the US with this type of bag ? I have a JC Penny one, does anyone know how many models they did and maybe why they did do more..? And did anyone else do them. Mark | ||

Thanks Raymond, for the info on the Hoover box tops, it's shame they only made a couple of models because there so cool...Like the sound of the Western Auto model Here's a couple of pictures of the Penneys model 2660 one I have, its a vault machine and the first one off the production line with a serial number of 1 Mark
