Love your Eureka "Smokey the Bear" Forest Green collection! Do you have the 1777-A that preceded the 1784-A in the early '80s (lacking the covered tool inset Tool-Pack but sporting the conventional Tool-Pack)? The straight suction 3715-A is another color mate of the era. Thanks for the demo and convo!

I have the exact model plus the earlier green model complete with tool caddy. I did take my Vibra Beat totally apart to give a thorough cleaning. Put it back together and it would no longer beat. Took it apart again and realized not all of the little tubes are not the same size. Got out another one and reassembled by using the other as a sample. Works great again. I still use mine regularly on my house of laminate. I have a supply of bags that will outlast me. There is a company online that will recreate the original L bag.

Interesting and informative - thank you! Jae would be honored if he were here. Electrolux Corporation's automatic upright was designed by Fred R. Burgess and George Schick for Consolidated Foods. According to the manual 'Automatic' referred to the "change bag" light that lights when the bag is full or missing (by industry definition an "automatic" nozzle has no height adjuster but "automatically" adjusts itself). The patent was filed in October 1976 (which is around the time production would have begun) and granted in August 1978. The 'E' model number suffix apparently stands for 'enhanced' and was used on several models that were improved. Doesn't this model have an onboard clean-out rod?

Hey Karl excellent choice for July 4th. Here where I born only two vacuum cleaners where manufactured with excellent sales success one was a close cousins of this machine. Eureka in the late 60 or 70 to early 80 didn’t sold under its brand any cleaner. So two models from Eureka where locally manufactured and sold, one show here the other it’s the big one in metal, but with their accessories made in the USA, probably manufactured by a Eureka provider at the end for more than 30 to 40 years only this two Eureka like were sold here, this machines where sold under an electric appliances manufacturer (1:1 domestic) called Koblenz. The other machine was the competitor and from Sweden also made under license but they used also a couple of brands. By the way since that color it’s superb.

Thanks for this Karl. There is definitely a problem with the suction on this MobileAire Eureka as the VibraBeat should have broadcast an annoying clattering sound in order for it to be working properly. Consumer Reports did not find that the vibrating rubber tubes helped with dirt removal - they famously said the nozzle provided “much ado about nothing”!!! In retrospect, the vibrating tubes may have beaten the carpet, but would then block the dirt from being sucked up into the airflow of the wand. It was a counterproductive design. I would venture that the braided hose is leaking lots of air and/or that the suction relief dial may be leaking lots of air no matter where you set the dial.
