Probably just me, but....

I would have liked it if the PN had turquoise trim to match the motor unit or a neutral color.

I have a Eureka Europa that the PN body is shades lighter than the motor unit. I read somewhere the Motor unit was manufactured elsewhere and imported.
Eureka experts???

"Eureka Vibragroomer's"

have 3 series. The "1" has the aluminum extruded twisty beater brush roll bar.
It resembles a large twisted "Churro" in a way for lack of a better description.
The beater bars are steel, and the brushes replaceable.

The "II" is a steel round brush roll with formed in beater bumps and replaceable brushes.

The "III" is the same, but has two rows of brushes.

Eureka wooden beater bars were not called vibra groomers, but they do the same thing. The brushes are replaceable. All their uprights before about 1977 used them, and the first rotomatic power teams that came out then as well. The premium models in the line up had the then new vibragroomer I.
Rainbow, Fairfax, as well as Compact used the first power nozzle design. Airway may have in their adapted Eureka upright head power team.
The head shell had a restyle with the Express line of Eureka power teams, and a face lift for the steel bodied 1700 seiries, ironsides, and Quiet Clean canister power teams.
In my best guess, the steel Vibragroomer vanished with the debut of the plastic bodied "World Vac" and "Rally" line of canisters. Subsequent brush rolls were extruded nylon composite.

Decal

Fantom fan i agree whit you the power head i got after the canister i would love to have the right sticker or pain it blue to match for sure .

Thanks for the info vacerator .I thought it was a vibra groomer brush roll turns out im wrong .Does an amazing job whit a new power head motor and new belt and new hose to boot .
To clear things out ,i got my Compact C9 whit a plastic eureka power head so i bought this original compact turbo brush after .I just never bothered to paint it to match . I would not want to mess whit the logo on the power head so its yellow .Ill try to mask the letters and spray it maybe thanks for all the info .
if any one has the right color name or code or decal for my power head it be great if not it will remain as is .I dont want to ruin it thats why .

Phillip,

It's the same with the Rainbow R1024 series power nozzles that were also made by Eureka.

Ok, I've never had a chance to see the rainbows, fairfax, compact eureka made nozzles brand new our of the box..... they they have wooden brushes or metal when they were bought new? I've seen a great amount of them used with both wood and metal.

Typo. I've never seen them new out of the box, did they have wood or metal.

Sorry for the typos in above post

The Rainbow D2 I have with Eureka Power Nozzle was/is equipped (with) the gold color wooden brushroll with plastic beater strips and brush strips alternating sides.  It was called the "Distribulator".  Now NLA, but if you can find one you will pay dearly for it.

Harley,

I'd use the 53409 VGI brush roll (if Rexair even recommends it)... but like the NOS "Disturbulator" (Eureka's official spelling) you mention, I would have to pay a king's fee for an NOS Roto-Matic Power Team VGI, too.

I bought a VGI for $20. I didn't even have plans to use it, I just knew you could no longer get them so grab it.
