i remember when i was about 4 or 5 the neighbors had a tradition. i wanted so bad to run it but they said they were out of bags- i think they just didnt want me running their vacuum

Lesinutah seriously? a lamb motor on a eureka like that?

awesome i'd love that i've got parts to fix it up. all i need is that motor

bnsd60m9200- yes thats something to think about. i have tons of attachments and parts i'll never use

superocd- yeah my grandmother had a sanitronic. I was told a long time ago that she had bought a classic new but didnt like it so they traded for the sanitronic but still kept the attachments for the classic. I found them under a bed in the guest room. never used gecause they wouldn't fit the...

rodknock95- very nice gold Kirby! whens the last time you saw it?

oh yes I'd love to see some of those old demonstrations. These old vacs I always wonder who had it first? I do have an owners manual for a 2C Kirby with the name of the person who bought it and the month day and year(looks like it was signed with a fountain pen) but I bet that person is long gone.

nice wish I coulda been there. I was 12 then. I think that might have been the year I got my first model 1C and 2C Kirbys for Christmas. They were in horrible shape and they were trade ins at the Kirby Co of Bartlesville- later Sweeper City(I guess the name change because they didn't sell as...

some of it i think this was the 2nd or 3rd haul from the "cardboard" place so i kept some i didnt

i missed some i wish i could go back because there was also an old 2 story house full of vacuum cleaners and stuff. there was some eureka looking thing but had switch in handle instead of foot switch. man i wish i had remembered and gotten some of that stuff

i wanna go back some of that cardboard was covering nicer boxes with stuff in them. some was junk some was goodies. belonged to an old kirby salesman some was tradeins. some was unused stuff. some nice kirby parts were wrapped in newspapers. papers very yellowed and tore if i tried to unwrinkle...

i know i do. i'd want to relive this event with some of the knowledge i have now. i'd take another dive and know what to keep this time! there were a lot of goodies under there! just wish i had a digital camera back then so i could take more pics

nope i started it up on the foyer rug. it never did that before but then i never left it dormant for so many years before. it only blew dust for a few seconds probably because when i first plugged it in the handle fell against the dust bag on the floor and gave it a good bump

that would be neat i plugged it in yesterday for the first time in years. sounds good. had that strong electrical smell-maybe the motor had some dust in it or something? anyway i never saw so much dust fly from a bag without holes in it when it came to life.

i have one i have one like that with the locking headlight somewhere around here. i think i only have the floor polisher head that will fit that specific one

switch pics i found a pic with it when it had a switch. i think what happened was the switch chain broke-therefore it wouldnt work

yes this was a long time ago- when the switch still saw there maybe the switch no longer worked? anyway, whenever it was wired without the switch it ran. ok-see the metal ball? that would go between the fork and theres a metal bar you step on and that pulls the chain

? the vac chasing? lol i'd like to seen that. i did figure out a temporary switch

for real? when? what it look like?

i thought i thought i hadd some pics of it from the other day when i was out digging through stuff. i'll take some more later
