I want to ask: wasn't the power nozzle seen on this model 1756A Brandywine canister a prototype? Because I've yet to find any 1756A with that kind of nozzle seen in that brochure--most of them have the PN seen in the second picture I uploaded.

Good eye Ben! Never saw that first generation Roto Matic power nozzle with a belt view window. Amazing! That design probably never made it to the production assembly line! The newer version has a flatter headlight....as shown in your second pic.....

Ben, I highly doubt that nozzle is a prototype. If it WAS, it probably would have never made it to any brochure for the lineup. I think the more likely answer for it's scarceity is most likely this nozzle belonged to a TOL model....and since Eureka wouldn't have sold as many of that model, hence the nozzle isn't as commonly seen as the MOL & BOL models nozzles. Another possibility is that Eureka could have discontinued the first nozzle design early in the production years of that canister, so again it's not as commonly seen as the second nozzle design.

If you do a google search 1970's eureka power nozzles & hit images there are many models on there with that power nozzle.

Rob,

The Power Team shown with this unique power nozzle is not a high end top-of-the-line model. If it was, the canister would feature a full Control Panel with Suction Selector and Bag Check gauge and indicator light. In all my years of being drawn to Eureka vacs, I have never seen a first generation Roto Matic Power Nozzle with a belt view window. Would love to see a pic of a real live nozzle like this.

Look carefully: none of the first generation Eureka Roto-Matic power nozzles with headlights also have a belt view window.

Brian (EurekaPrince),

Nor would those nozzles have the Vibra-Groomer II. The non-lighted ones would, though.
