I've been wanting one of these for a while and finally found one at a fairly reasonable price! The suction and airflow are quite impressive!

The only accessory it came with is the original Douglas power nozzle. I wasn't very pleased with it (probably because I like everything turbocharged!).

So I thought about adding this Rainbow PN to it, since they both use a three wire cord. But alas, the PN cord is too short to reach the receptacle on the hose.

So I decided to take the wire off the Douglas PN and install it on this Eureka PN with the VGIII brush roll. Now this vacuum beast has because a MEGA beast!

The only thing I'm not pleased with is the wand set up. It feels very awkward and seems too short for my arms.

I finally found a Rainbow conversion cord on Ebay! It is the perfect solution for converting to a Tristar hose.

I drilled an extra hole in this Eureka wand so that it would fit the Tristar hose. Now I can use a Eureka Power Nozzle with a Tristar hose on a Silver King vacuum!
