I found this gem at a goodwill 2 years ago and have done quite a bit of work on it. I installed new motor brushes and polished everything I could, converted the shake out bag to a full zipper with fill tube for twist style kirby bags. Original emptor. Blue power cord is in great shape. Asking...

Just curious, I haven't found much online. Thx

I just picked up the g5 it's great fun! The tradition (I know the shake out bag is backwards) I converted the tradition to hepa with 4 brush roller and installed a zipper on the other side, it's my daily driver. I also have a sentria I lent to my mother to shampoo her carpets. I love these things.

Something isn't right here.

Just received a Kirby G4 in the mail courtesy of Les (thank you) for unclenching your fingers long enough to part ways with this soon to be beautiful machine not only aesthetically but mechanically as well. I'm delving into polishing now and will deal with the bearings and tec drive as I dig...

Compactelectra Yes I installed the zipper on the front there was an existing tear. I might flip it back around the zipper is the same color as the bag.

Kirby tradition 3cb She's my only Kirby right now but I love it.

Just converted the 1979 tradition shake out bag to use new hepa bags!

Very cool! And you have the hose! I have zero attachments

How's it run? It runs great! I'm still going to but brushes in the motor just to do it. I cleaned out the old brush roll but am going to upgrade soon.

G4 I would absolutely love to do that yes!

texaskirbyguy I know! I want to find a d4. Love that look.

texaskirbyguy I used mothers mag and aluminum polish with a lint polisher drill attachment. I'll probably wax it as well.

Lesinutah Thanks! Yeah I know the bag is backwards. There was a small tear on the front side so I used it to my advantage to sew in a full length zipper on the front side. I'm going to get another bag asap. That's good advice on the fill tube aspect I may have to do that.

Thank you! I'm really proud of it. Should be running soon!
