That's interesting. I have a gold G5 with the same thing, no BPI and the older style emptor. Also have a gold ultimate G without a serial number. I remember I tried to contact the kirby company about this but they said they needed a serial number to look up the vacuum.

Cool looking machine. I've been thinking about getting one, but read a lot of bad reviews about them. I really like the newly designed powernozzle with the LED headlights, but the machine is SO expensive.

Hahahah, it's a Royal, it's a Kirby...what is it? hahhaha ...I know it's a Royal, but the description is ridiculous.

I have two of the small head Heritage Kirby's. I have the heritage I, and the heritage legend with small heads. I like them, they seem to maneuver easier than the larger head Heritage Kirby's.

Anyone got a spare $1200... http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/hsh/615544842.html I've seen a total of 3 of these for sale, all G5, one of which I have. Does anyone know why these are colored gold? Is it for some outstanding sales performance? Is there a gold colored kirby for all the...

Odd, I did also.

Thank you. I'll try that out. Someone in the Kirby Group on Yahoo informed me that the coloring might also be anodized? Will the anodized color rub off if polished or tarnish? Thanks to anyone who has any ideas.

Hello, I have two gold plated/colored kirbys in my collection -a G5 and an Ultimate G with gold coloring. Does anyone know how to polish or clean, or if it's ok to polish these kirbys without removing or damaging the gold color? Are there other people out there with gold plated/colored kirbys...

Since you mention this problem, I have several G Series Kirby's that have this problem also, and it's because that little lever has worn. They make that sort of grinding noise when in neutral. Does anyone know where to find a replacement lever? Thanks.

Beautiful!! How do you come across kirby's that are in original condition? Great collection too!

I think it's a neat toy, but like I mentioned above, its always getting pet hair and gunk wrapped on the shaft between the two turbine fans. I think the earlier style turbo brush that was available with the Kirby heritage does a better job though. I also think the sounds they make when attached...

Hey everyone, I have one of the later style Kirby Zip brushes with the round head. It's been running really slowly though because there is hair all wrapped around on the inside of the turbine shaft. Does anyone know if there is a way to take apart the turbine to clean the shaft, or a good way to...

Yes, I would like to see them.

Great, thanks for the info guys. I was going to get one used if I do buy one, because the retail price is just ridiculous. Are the remanufactured ones sold by CPO Electrolux worthy? I will look around for the Eureka Oxygen to see what I like.
