it sucks that the vacuum is in such a wreck hopefully you can at least part it out and use the good parts to repair or build another vacuum all together. To explain the screws at the bottom to take the hood off, on plastic hoods they use screw posts in the hood to secure it which i hate because they always crack down the middle of the post due to all the heat from the motor the plastic becomes brittle and breaks off where as the metal hood use springs and dissipate heat away from the motor better than the plastic ones not to mention they look better especially the chrome hoods.
Yeah., I am used to the old Eureka models, so the screws weren’t something I have seen. I am used to the springs. I put t he vacuum in the shed full of random crap. I have a eureka machine with a dead motor; I may use the one out of here on it eventually.
Mmmmm, yes! The "smokers choice" vacuum! The bag initially inflates just as much as the former owners lungs!
I was definitely in flavor country when I was cleaning the bag out!
