I grabbed one today because it was under $10. I was disappointed to find out that it is from the 80s and not from the 70s as I had originally hoped, but the orangish-red and white color will match my kitchen well. I get to pick it up on Wednesday. Did Hoover or Eureka make any orange colored upright vacuums in the 70s? I would guess that they did.

For sure. My parents bought a very basic orange and beige Eureka Dial-a-Nap upright for our vacation apartment in Hallandale, Florida in the summer of 1976. I’m pretty sure we bought it at the local KMart store for around $100, including a set of nice beige attachments with a chrome steel wand. No headlight, but a sturdy metal motor hood and metal two-piece handle.

Here is my eureka :)
Is it supposed to have a headlight? If so, how would I access the bulb?
