Saw this at the recycling center for FREE last week. Even though the cord is cut, it is in pretty good shape. Seeing as the screws are hex shaped and i don't have the bit, I can't replace the cord. But I will still keep it as a unique piece of Eureka history. Yes, I know this Cleaner is very bad, but who knows? It could end up like the Regina Housekeeper. The pic is of it next to my Vital, It is HUGE!

Hex or torx? Either way, definitely get a set of either bits, but I'd also strongly recommend getting some actual torx screwdrivers, for getting those deep-down screws.

Les,
You can get hex keys (six-sided) and Torx bits or screwdrivers (five-sided star pattern) at any hardware store--Lowe's, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, etc.). They're not expensive. I have seen some items with triangular head screws and I've never seen a screwdriver or bit for those but I'm sure they're out there. | ||

Tri-Wing or "Y shape" screwdrivers have to be bought on eBay, it's a specialized tool and no store would ever stock it because hardly anyone needs one. Nintendo loves using Y shape screws to hold their consoles and game cartridges together, so that's usually the only time people need one.
