It is cleaning up surprisingly well, to the point I’m happy, time open it up tho and make it run as it should

I definitely don’t want to polish or wreck the finish for sure, and glad u mentioned the bag set up as it was part of my curiosity, mine does have the slide on the handle

I just got back from picking up a Hoover 541 from an auction, definitely excited to start going over it! Any advice from people that have rebuilt these would be greatly appreciated, I restored kirbys and worked on old premier but this one is different. Any way to find manufacturers date? And...

Hey, I’m presently restoring a Kirby 518 and was looking for carbon brushes, I see many sellers selling brushes stamped hg22 claiming they fit 505 to the 1cr while others sell different brushes for the 505-d80. My question for you more experienced builders is there a difference? Many thanks in...
