video Thanks kirbykid! That would be really helpful.

Hi, I bought a kirby sanitronic from an auction this weekend. I wanted to take the bag off and wash it, but I'm not sure how to remove it the right way as I have never had a kirby before. I'm scared that I will rip it if I just pull it off.

Awesome! I like it! Those old hoovers are interesting. You never know what kind of cool stuff is in those old houses.

Cool find The tan model g has a stronger motor than the turquoise g. I think they have the same wattage though, but still the tan one is stronger.

Sears Closing The sears in my area is closing. sucks. i can probably find the bags in k-mart though because they are selling kenmore things now.

Well... its older than I thought it was in that case. I thought maybe it was a late 70s vacuum.

Hi everybody, my great aunt Lottie just gave me this kenmore that was in her basement today. don't know much about it, but I got a hose with it

Royal? Is it red royal canister?

Kool! That is an awesome vacuum. I'm not finding any vacuums in thrift stores around here for some reason. Guess there might be somebody getting to them first or something.

Dolly On the back of the dolly on this one, it sticks out a bit with a u shaped hook. I thought it might have been to stick a hose through or something, but it makes more sense what you said, and it also has a metal cover inside with a cloth bag. Thanks for the knowledge bro!

Awesome! :) I have seen vacuums similar to that one under antique vacuum on ebay. I think the way it works is you push the main part across the floor while holding the handle in the same spot and therefore simultaniously creating a vacuum to suck up the dirt. That is a cool find! I would like...

ring I think I will go to Lowes and see if they have some type of ring that will hold the swivel on and also a cord that I can replace the cut one with.

GE Here is the GE

Closer than u think Kenkart :) Mocksville, NC is actually only about an hour and 45 minutes from where I live! I would really enjoy meeting you sometime. knowing people who are knowledgeable about vacuums is cool. If I find myself up in that area, I will definately look you up.

GE Toby, I did get the combination carpet and hard floor nozzle and a hose also, but the nozzle is kind of rusted and the hose ends are too. The hose looks as if it were fixed because someone used a hose clamp to put the hose back on the end that goes into the extension wands. I will post a...

open it up :) Cool vacuum! Looks like it is in mint condition also. I really want to see what it looks like under the lid.

Cool Kevin, I might take you up on that offer as soon as I get it back. I ended up taking it to Fuller's vacuum shop because I was smelling a strange smell. It's hard to describe the smell.........It smelled like electricity if that makes any sense. Thanks Eurekastar :), I will keep the name...

Oiling I do think that the bearings may need oiling. When it is powering down I think I can hear them. The info I have learned from you all is very helpful. I joined this site about a week or two ago. I noticed that my user name (collectorclue20) is very similar to another member's username...

Thanks for info :) Thank you all for the helpful tips. I will definately wear gloves. Don't feel like getting mutilated anytime soon.

Spring Thanks. I have never taken anything on a vacuum apart before. I would definately like to learn how to fix things myself. I figured if I tried to take it apart, things might pop out or something and I wouldn't remember how to get it back in right, but if it is just a spring that needs...
