I think I made a post about this sometime ago. To me it looks like a Eureka Excalibur with some modifications for commercial use. | ||

This Eureka/Sanitaire Excalibur Upright is a unique "bag-first" machine in that the suction channel is centred in the power nozzle, not on one side like most of today's bag-first uprights. It has one motor for suction at the bottom of the hard-cased bag chamber, and another smaller motor in the power head to spin the brush. It displays one of Eureka's earliest attempts to design a bag first vac that diverts suction according to the cleaning mode required. In carpet cleaning mode, or bare floor cleaning mode, (handle down) the dirt goes directly up the center into the top fill bag. In "Hose Mode", the airflow is diverted away from the power nozzle and into the onboard hose, and power to the brushroll motor is cut off. This "Hose Mode" is activated when you remove the hose handle end from its storage dock.

If I remember correctly, the main problem with Eureka's Excalibur upright was electrical. Something about the switch panel overheating due to the two motors and the two speeds. If I remember correctly, it was not designed to handle the electrical load properly. On the other hand, can't believe it would have received UL approval to go to market if this was the case.
Though it was never highly rated by Consumer Reports, I really liked the design because it was sleek and because it really provided options for good non- carpet cleaning, with a full set of attachments on board. I may be wrong, but if someone has a spec sheet for the deluxe version, I think there was even a pocket to store a nice bare floor brush. | ||
