FYI: They used metal VG1's on 3.35 amp Eurekas (like mine with cord winder and military box top bag) so a VG1 would work perfectly well on your Sanitaire.
Square end brush rolls (wood with red beater-bar) were made as replacement parts until just a few years ago by CWP. I'm sure you can find one New Old Stock. I ordered one about two years ago to save in case I ever needed one for my vintage machines. Good luck and Congrats on your early Sanitaire. |

The brush rolls on my two Sanitaires, a 1980s vintage SC686 and a 2012 vintage S645, have five-sided ends, squared off on three sides and 'pointed' on the fourth. The pointed end goes into the machines' chassis first. Perhaps it's possible to reverse that to put a VG1 in yours or just swap the ends off of your existing brush roll onto a new one.
Check eBay for replacement brush rolls. They're fairly inexpensive, compared with those for other brands. |

Did you miss my post or what is everyone not getting.
The vg2 has a rubber end that when taken off will fit your vacuum. That's why the rubber adaptor is there. It has nothing to do with plastic or metal. Get a vg2 and it will work. I've had 1960s eurekas 70s and 80s. They all can use the vg2. The brand new ones too. If nobody actually reads this maybe don't ask a question when an answer is given. |
