Video... Turns out I cannot post a video. Oh well. If anyone is interested, email me.

Spa day! Well, it’s had its “spa day” We did the best we could. Didn’t want to remove the bag because we were unsure if the spring is in good enough shape for that, but it was vacuumed out very well. I’m going to try to post a video, let’s see if it actually posts... It’s really a great...

Hey everyone! Thank you for the comments! I’ll try to answer some of the questions... The person who sold it to me said that he got it from the original owner (who had passed) the daughter had an estate sale and said that her dad worked for the Kirby company. That’s as much as I know. The...

Saw this on marketplace. About 2 hour drive each way. The guy selling said he was down here visiting and he brought it with him from Wisconsin. His girlfriend was irritated by this and he tried to sell it at a flea market and nobody wanted it. So he listed it on marketplace and I was the only...

At the vac shop of a good close friend. Haven’t been there in a while and was excited to see this little guy... owner says that he has the hose and attachments and cord at home, and he’s using it (as well as an old Miele bicycle and a Miele butter churner to use with his Miele display showing...

Here’s some of mine...

Welcome! And, nice S7! As for any power modifications, I can’t say that there are any, but maybe others on here will know of something - but I’ve never heard of any. As far as the bag. There have been some topics on here in the past about HEPA conversions, I’d search archives... One thing...

Love these machines! Here’s mine...

What on earth is this even about?

1300 That sure is a clean ComVac1300! Lucky devil who has that!

Bakelite housing It’s still there. It actually came from an old Electrolux (now Aerus) distributor. Came home with my better half and was a total surprise to me because the owner of the store for years refused to sell it, rejected offers of over $1,000 - and just a few days ago the owners son...

Walter Thank you! The information you provided is actually what I was hoping for in the comments! I have a question for you. But first... The power cord that came with the machine had the male and female ends removed, so it’s useless. I’ve looked on eBay UK, but it always just filters...

Came home today to a great surprise from my other and best half... Complete with its box and attachments. The only thing missing is the metal hose, which I hear is still at the store where this came from- so maybe it will arrive soon. If not, am still thrilled to add this beauty to the collection!

Stay at home... A bit more expensive than we anticipated. We bought a brand new Rainbow, in photo it’s in air purify mode. Also found this lovely Ward’s Signature 700! The Rainbow obviously being the expense - the Ward’s 700 was only $7. I was never too big into Rainbow, but I have a cat...

If you could post some photos of the machine so I can see it’s exact condition, that’d be very helpful. I’ve restored several machines of different makes but mostly Kirby. I don’t like to say yes to a project if I cannot see what I’m getting into first. You can email me at: [email protected]
