I went out yesterday and wasn't going to come home until I found myself a birthday present. There was a Eureka upright in the No Kill Animal Shelter Thrift Store, but it was missing its bag hanger spring. It was $10.00 but it wasn't attractive enough to me. After I made my rounds in the other three stores, I hit Hibiscus House in Jensen Beach, found a '60s hand mixer, and a presentable but scraped ESP with Micron filter. No sales, I had to pay the $20.00 for it, and $5.00 for the mixer. It works quite well, I vacuumed the dining area with it, but it emits a fine mist of dust when I run it. Here it is after its beauty treatment, with a 3M sponge eraser. It doesn't look real abused, but it does have disturbing but not deep scrapes on the maroon hood. I avoided the painted printing. I did off one of the Roll-Easy wheels too and it does a great job.

ya know, the variety of machines Eureka was able to make just by switching around a handful of motors, brushrolls, height adjusters, handle materials and colors is amazing.

This one has better power than my Eureka upright with on board tools. I'll have to see what is going on inside of the bag compartment for the source of that dust. This is my first vintage Eureka upright.

sometimes the vacuum will wear at the paper bag because of the air pressure I have a Sanitaire with a 7 amp motor and because of the airflow many bags have broken. so you might want to check that and good luck with it.

Nice one, I like the colour of it. Looks like it has the foot switch on/off. Why some have that and others don't, anyone know?

It has that black foot switch, and the handle release is rubber over metal. Also, the bumper has dinged holes in it, but not too severe.
