I got this very cool Eureka hand vac coming my way. I don't know what year this was made but I thought it would make a great companion for my Eureka model M. It looks to be in good condition, complete and all original.

Very nice! Yours appears to be the sleeve bearing model. The only way to tell the difference without disassembly is the rear bearing cover on the ball bearing model sticks out about 3/4 an inch and is about the diameter of a quarter, where the sleeve bearing has a small dimple no larger than a dime. Going by what I can see, that is a sleeve bearing one. Very smooth runners.

It's here!
I got the Eureka Junior hand vac last week, and finally got a chance to get started on it. It looks and runs well. The armature has the numbers 7 39 stamped on it so that tells me it was built in July 1939. The bag looks to be made of the same material as the Eureka model M bag. It has a bristle brush on the nozzle that has worn down over the years, so I might replace the bristles myself.
I have never done it before so that will be a new challenge for me. I'll take pictures as I go when I have time to work on it. This is the 3rd hand vac, and the 4th Eureka to be added to my collection. Jim | ||

Congrats, Jim! It's in pretty good shape for its age, but I'm sure you'll bring back its original luster. Looking forward to seeing it! | ||

another one up for sale
There is another Eureka model H hand vac up for sale. This one has a higher buy it now price but looks like a good one. I got the winning bid on mine for less than $10.00 there was only one other bid on the one I got. I think these are rare so it's interesting to find another up for sale.

It's coming along
I finally got a chance to get some work done on little Jr. today. Watched some football, and a little cleaning, wet sanding and polishing. Next, I need to clean and wash the bag.

Early model
John, your right there was a earlier model without the removable nozzle. There is a advertisement up for sale on eBay right now about it.

Re-bristling Hey Jim, Nice work as usual,no surprise. If you have any questions on re-bristling the nozzle, you might check with bikeray. He's posted pics of some he's done and they're quite nice! I see the bump out on the back of the motor shell so did yours turn out to be a bearing type model? | ||

Thanks
Thanks Paul,
Unfortunately, I don't know how to look it up by thread #. When I put it in it only showed this thread. I'll keep looking thanks again. Side note: I can't find anything about it on you tube ether. All they show is how to replace brush rolls or replacing brush roll strips. Jim This post was last edited 11/15/2023 at 09:33 | ||

It's almost done.
Well, I got it almost done. All I need to do now is re-bristle the brush.

Bulk horsehair
After looking at the bulk horsehair on eBay I decided to go with this brush ring from Kirby Needs, It should work well and it cost less than the bulk horsehair I found.
