SOLD IT At last...I broke even on it. No more vacuum cases, lol.

Lol, I know thats how you got it. I guess I should have asked how you decoded it? Sorry, I just like to admire Kirby vacuums, I know ZIP about serial numbers.

ZOINKS! How do you know it is one of the last ones built? What number out of how many made? I'm eager to learn.

800 series... I have five watchers, if it doesn't sell, maybe I can relist now knowing the models.

ps... The sentimental value is very high on this item as evidenced by me rescuing it from the curb that rainy day.

interesting! I remember it have some kind of hand-held shampoo thingy? I used to always mess with this thing as a kid. Maybe due to the movie "The Brave Little Toaster"?

Whoops! Forgot the serial number: R 170691

weird system here I'm not going to put down multiple posts for a single picture in each one, just copy and paste the links. Save space. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa306/rlfan1/011-2.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa306/rlfan1/010-1.jpg...

I'm now curious, I'm keeping it, but we still have my grandma's old Kriby. Until a few years ago, it still had the attachments in the box. My dad tried to toss the vacuum but failed thanks to me! I rescued the attachments as well...but they found their way out unfortunatly! The vacuum is still...

dang I feel OLD!

hmm... Just a bumpity bumpity bump. Really an odd ball machine...unique I think.

Value? What could smething like this sell for? I just had a Royal from the 60s in very similar shape with $12 starting bid, 7 watchers and no sale. But this being a Hoover...could things be much different?

Deal or no Deal? Well, I guess it's no deal. I had 7 or 8 curious watchers though. Hey, free listing fees, so I didn't lose anything there. Might relist later in another category. It worked on a Christmas ornament?

Whats that? Straight Suction?

Well... I saw a blue one similar to this in the archives. In the manual, it says that there was a "Help-Mate II" and it included a mounting brcket for the vacuum and the attatchments. Maybe that was what the blue one was?

Oh boy... Tell me about it. This economy is terrible. I have had to sit on some good stuff for awhile sometimes then clearance it off, lol. Couldn't find a job like others my age, so I went out in my own way. Have a tranny to rebuild so, times tough here too.

Anything? Anyone know anything about these?

hmm... Then are these like my 60s Royal 501 on eBay? Common in typical condition, but rare in the sense that it is so complete?

Lol, he might be one of the 6 watchers I have now. Only 6 hrs. to go and everyone is still holding the trigger.
