All I know about the lettering designations is that it was Eureka's internal coding system for mid-run model revisions where something would be changed on the vacuum while it was still being produced. The submodel lettering was used so that once these vacuums were out on the streets and being used & subsequently serviced they wouldn't get mixed up or have parts ordered for them that were never there or do not fit (like deleted features or modified assemblies).
I'm sure a vacuum shop maybe would have had the cypher in old parts manuals that said what changed what where....or maybe they never left Eureka HQ, no idea. If you had each vacuum side by side and looked over each part I'm sure you might figure out what was changed on it by brute force observation, but that's likely impossible to do just finding each little submodel. These "Convertibleites" are so simple I can't imagine much being changed on them that many times other than the motors or fans or brushroll designs. |
