That Hoover Special looks like a 102 or 105 with a Robbins and Myers motor. The switch is on the right (from the back) which would be 102 but it looks like it has the tilting bar on the bail which would be a 105.

Stopped at the Goodwill in Mundelein, in among the vacuums is a Kirby Sanitronic 50 with the Kirby logo that lights up in the headlight hood for $9.99 and I'm thinking Darn I already have one of those. So I left it there.

Some of the Golden Jubilees were Model 1205 later ones were Model 1210

Is that by any chance made in Texas? If it is they are a really cheap knockoff off Sanitaire.

This is what the Air Way brush strips look like before and after rebristling.

No, they do not all take the same. The PN1 used a smaller motor and smaller carbons.

If it looks like this it's a rebadged Royal, mine is a 1950 Packard model. They were a premium when you bought a Packard, you had a choice of several different appliances i.e. a single door refrigerator, a vacuum cleaner, a sewing machine, etc.

The belt lifters on my 509 and 510 Kirbys are both gray paint on red background. The belt covers on my 1C and 2C both have red on a black background.

It could definitely use a rebristling and should have wire rug guards to keep the rug from being sucked up into the vacuum.

I found this one at Goodwill for $5, I picked it up for a dealer I know.

If you take the control valve out and unscrew the knob I'm guessing that the plastic around the O ring has broken off and the valve is leaking. You can still get the new knob/control assembly from your local Aerus dealer.

Ben I have a G4 and yes it was the last model to use Phillips screws. It also shares the brush roll with the G3 so the wear indicator light is on the left when you stand behind it.

G4 used Phillips head screws.

The lavender color tape for the bumper Just so you know I was helping Scott at Tinley Park Kirby and he has a whole roll of the tape for the G4 bumper. It still has 5 stripes left on the roll.

Found this at Goodwill today for $5
