Also.. Mine has a headlight, that must have been an option. Yours, after the polish looks incredible. Mine is a 120 or whatever is the standard for US electric. I am beginning to believe it might be from Canada because it has the Good Housekeeping seal of approval of Great Britain on the...

Ok... This particular Columbus is in the museum ( I have it on loan there). What year do you think it was made? Just Wow to see all of the attachments..you were very lucky David

Yes and... I am truly scared to say this because I will be wrong, right Alex? But the Classic Omega had 3 different styles of bags. If my memory serves me correctly.

I liked vacuums... Ever since I was a child and grandmother paid me a nickel to touch it. I was afraid of loud noises as a kid, since I was toddler and lightening hit our house right above my bedroom window, I flew out of that crib to my parents bedroom. When grandmother did that it was like...

Alex... Thank you for the info, I might call Jimmy at some point. I know about the warehouse stuff. I did not have the money to go and pick up some of those vacuums, but at this point in my life I think I have enough vacuums, since I have no one that will help me rebuild the motors like I...

Charles... Are you planning on restoring the 28, if so I might have an extra brown bag for it..since you were so kind to me for the Kirby parts...

I am looking for a two speed GE upright handle...I have a strange looking Premier Duplex that needs this handle. This vacuum I think is from the 40's but I might be mistaken. I can not find my pic of it when we restored it and polished it up but I will keep looking. Please let me know if you...

Well it depends... It depends on which Kirby you are going to try this out on. You all know this. In the middle 80's i found Omega's, Classic III's, Dual 50 and 80's where they replaced the safety switch to run entirely on the high speed. Which later finds the vacuuming wearing out quickly...

i am sorry... Alex, (super-sweeper) forgive me...you are exactly right. My ComVac bag assembly must have been replaced...forgive me

super-sweeper Forgive me, my Comvac then may have been switched. Mine that looks like a Heritage I. ,to lower the handle you have step on the lever before the handle will release, must have been switched I guess. Mine has the same grey sani-emptor as the Heritage I and it takes a Heritage...

From my experience... We have taken apart a Model S and a XXX rebuilt the motor, cleaned and repacked the bearings, cleaned the fans well. The fans on both were filled with a fine dust. After putting the motors back together and blew out the filters with a air hose, put them back together...

They also had.. When they sold the ComVac they also had a huge monster vacuum with a bag like for cleaning convention centers, never saw one in person. Wish I had. Sorry for the previous message I hit the wrong button, I intended to correct mistakes but instead hit post without...

Wow... I may have to go and pull out my blue one out of my storage just to take a pic for you. The ComVac group came out when the Heariitge I cam out I know I worked at out Local Kirby store at that time. I have the wider head looks like a Classic-Tradition wide head. At the top of the...

OMG The Eureka Challanger...wow what a great find..now to find a bag...I had two once...My last one I lost in a storage place, sadly lost all of them that were in there. What a wonderful find!!!!! You are so lucky. The cool thing about this vacuum I liked the handle which reminds me of a...
