Not only does it say Self Propelled the words light up to tell you so as does the E logo. |

She also had this handy Hoover Handvac 1 which I could couldn't leave behind. Now I'm thinking I forgot to ask her if she had anymore attachments for it. I'm guessing she does and had just been a bit forgetful so I'll ring her back. |

I have always liked those Eureka uprights, the blue beeing my favorite. I currently have a brown/dark orange colored one. It is in good shape, but someone put a singe speed motor in it... |

Pete, that Eureka reminds me on a popular toy Eureka of the early/mid 80s. Your little Hoover is soo cute. Keep an eye on eBay for the style G bags. They are a bargain most of the time. |

Well, I happen to notice a vacuum repair shop sticker on it. Most likely it was repaired/maintained by someone over the years, and they replaced the bag. But who knows... ~~K~~ |

You're right the self propelling is quite smooth, certainly not as jerky as some of the Hoovers. I wonder if I gave the bag a bath in some blue Rit dye it might look a little better, still it doesn't look that bad now and I'd hate to worsen it. |

That's a nice Eureka, I love how the lettering on the top is lit up. Is there any chance you could put up a picture of the bottom? I have never seen a power drive like this and I'm courious. Thanks, Nicholas |

Could the flat areas be wear, Pete? that's the first thing I thought...ya know, mechanical surface rubbing against another surface, bit of friction..melting plastic.. Just my guess lol. |

Thanks for the pics Petek. I didn't realize that these were rear wheel drive. It is just like my Impala :) I have only seen Hoover self propeled machines before. I might just have to keep my eyes open for one of these. :) Nicholas |
