Mike,
Was the height adjuster a dial that you rotated or a slider that you slid to adjust the level of the front of the machine? A rotating dial would have been a Dial-a-Nap adjuster, and a slider would have been a Rugulator adjuster. Eureka introduced the Rugulator first in the late 1960’s - maybe as early as 1967 with the first Vanguard upright. The Dial-a-Nap made its debut a few years later, and for about a decade, Eureka offered cheaper uprights with the dial and more deluxe uprights with the slider. Also, do you remember if the top of the outer dust bag was like a rectangular box, or was it flat like a single fold or crease on a pair of pants? Did the vacuum have an automatic cord rewinder? | ||

Eureka Vanguard According to some youtube videos, the Vanguard had two speeds, the machine I am trying to identify was definitely only one speed. Mike | ||

motoor sound Wow, the machine in this video sounds almost exactly like the one I am trying to identify, ours was only one speed and the cord did not pull out, there was a cord hook on the handle that the cord rapped around. Ours had a large rocker switch to turn it on and off that was on the motor part. Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO n0oxy's LINK | ||

got the model number This is an older thread but I was able to find the model number of the Eureka that I was trying to identify. It had a date of May 18 1970, I'm not sure if that's the day it was made or the date of purchase, the model is 2625a GL Mike | ||
