I never had a problem with the belts slipping on the Top of the Line Eureka's that I owned in the 70's and 80's. I did have problems with the belt slipping on the new Sanitaires and wondered if it had to do with the 6 instead of 8 Dial a Nap settings or the 7 amp motor compared to a 6 amp in the 80's. I recently had a two speed step down motor installed in my Model 260 vintage eureka. When I went to pick it up, the vac shop owner told me when he put the new motor in the belt pulley rubbed against the bottom plate and he had to us my old belt pulley since it was shorter and possibly a little wider. My model 260 has no problem with the RD Eureka belts. No slipping what so ever. I have a Vibra Groomer II in it as well. So maybe there is something to the newer sanitaires having a different and longer belt pulley......
