Thanks Joe, if you ever are in the NW burbs, give me a shout. I have all but one Convertible model from the 60's (model 704) and three never used vault machines. John, those colors are rather tame, compared to the other side of the room:

Welcome Joe I don't know where in the area you are, but I live in the burbs, not far from the Woodfield Mall. Here is a little sample of my collection: Drop me a line if you like.

Matt I've had two Kirbys rebuilt, its reasonably painless, and the end result is a NEW old Kirby. First, do not call Kirby Customer service, you'll need to call the rebuild department. A lady has answered the phone when I called, you may also leave a message. They will want the serial number...

I didn't know the Classic Omega had an optional bag with It didn't. Thanks to the generosity of a friend, the zipper was installed in an original Omega bag for me. I used a Tradition Emptor and a Heritage I bag conversion, with a Heritage II bag connector. Its the only classic Omega I know of...

How about a commmercial Concept One The very rare Commercial Power Drive, from 1982

I have a new one XL2-Ultra, got it for my birthday. Its not nearly as bad as I thought, but the irony is its harder to push on my plush carpeting than my old faithful 1070 Convertible! What I do like is the Oreck cleans a bare floor very well, and it does a decent job on my carpets too. It...

That the Model 700? outlived its owner lol! I remember that Ad well, it was the first Hoover Ad I ever cut from a magazine, mainly because I thought the U4109 Convertible pictured was beautiful, my favorite one from the '77 set. <br

Commercial model for home use? YES!!! Seamus and David, it was quietly offered for home use, as an alternative to the standard Convertible and DAM models. I remember a classmate when I was in grade school who's LARGE family had one, and also a few that were sold to replace older cloth bag...
