What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
EARLY MEMORIES: My mothers Kirby Classic III 2CB, which her husband - my father - bought in November 1978.
FAVORITE MEMORIES: Going to various vacuum cleaner service centers and obtaining what promotional literature they have which is specific to my favorite vacuums.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
Kirby Classic III 2CB (serial #B850-414): This was owned by my paternal grandparents while spending their residency in Boise, Idaho. They bought it from a previous owner in 1987, who struggled to pay his debts. I officially received it in August 1998.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
