Well I got this for $1 and it works but sometimes it has trouble turning on. Bag door is broken and needs bag. I've never seen this before.

Just a photo of a Viking 241 with parts for reference that was up on ebay a number of years back.

In Canada, vacuums made by Electrolux of Sweden could not use the Viking name due to the fact that Canada’s transnational Eaton’s department store used that name on their store brand vacuum. Eaton Viking vacuums were for the most part made by Eureka’s Canadian division in Kitchener, Ontario - which was also owned by Swedish Electrolux after 1974. The solution? These European vacs were branded with the name Dometic or Euroclean in Canada up until Electrolux bought back their right to use their brand name in North America.
