The attachment caddy hooked onto the chrome post, then snapped down over the back lid projection (stabilizer). Nice cleaner. My aunt had one when I was a teenager, she bought it to supplement her Dial-A-Matic which she didn't think had good suction with the hose. Congratulations on solving a smelly problem.

Congrats on the excellent Eureka! She sure is a good looking vacuum!
I've had to de-stink a couple of vacuums, too. Over the summer I purchased a Fantom Cyclone XT, a vacuum I'd been after for a while. The vacuum had hardly been used, but the gentleman who owned it was a smoker. The machine reeked of cigarettes! After much disassembly, soaking, and scrubbing, I managed to remove the tar and most of the smell. The faint odors which remained faded to nothing within a few thorough vacuuming sessions. |
