Thanks for the link! Now THAT'S a shine! Maybe someday we'll take the 562 out & polish her up!

No worries... This 562's original cord will stay packed with the Kirby.... never to be separated!

Found in corner of a curio shop.... The shopowner's mother bought it brand new in 1962.... never even touched the Handi-Butler or any of the accessories!

I'm a NuTone Central Vacuum guy, posting over in the Contemporary section here on Vacuumland, but I wanted to share my one & only other vacuum that I've got: a Kirby 562 from 1962. Yep, I know... non-original bag & a few other things, but I think it's nice nonetheless! (I still love my NuTone...

Good thing we have one of the POST-fix VX's! Wouldn't bother swapping to a different central vac NOW, as our NuTone is still doing an amazing job. Maybe in ANOTHER 16 years... we'll see, but she's rock solid right now... couldn't be happier!

Hello All, just posting about central vacs & the one they installed in my home. Central vac systems weren't even on my radar until many years ago: I was helping restore a 1929 movie palace in North Jersey. They had both a Spencer Central Vacuum & a Spencer Orgoblo in the theatre's basement...
