So cool to see yet another version of Eureka's famous Wide-Track upright! Did you know that Eureka even offered a "wide" set of attachments for this design? It had an extra wide bare floor brush and extra wide pan hose converter...

Recently, one of our friends in the UK posted pics of a 220 volt version of a similar wide upright branded with the Swedish Electrolux name. You can still buy a Sanitaire version of this vac today!!

Wide Stroke

(Is this the grown son of Westinghouse One Stroke?)Very Nice!If I've never seen it can we say RARE?I think I have a standard one under a stack of Eurekas and possibly an extra used bag.If so they and about 200 more need a new home.
