    Finally :D

    Thanks for that Kevin, not sure where they got this hose, must have been a replacement they received after purchase. Yes Brian, it happened in the 1930's. Its when they started unionizing the coal mines. Before when the coal mines owned the towns, houses, money, and everything else. The movie...

    Finally :D

    Don't think so appears to be fine I kept the connector & nozzle out of the water, but I do understand how it runs through the hose, should be ok.

    Finally :D

    I decided not to buy a new hose .. Instead I filled a bath tub full of water, poured in some washing powders (Cheer is what I used) and some extra baking soda for the chrome pieces .. And I have nice clean & smelling better hose I'm going to let it dry for several of days before doing anything...

    Finally :D

    Another couple good cleanings, its came a long way in my opinion! Before and After below! I find mixing Armour All with the baking soda does really well for the plastic parts and then going over the chrome with it after scrubbing.

    Finally :D

    Thanks for the clarification! After inspecting it last night, I did find that it was a golden instead. I found that I was able to use the same bags as the Epic which is style U so that's a plus!

    Finally :D

    My aunt is also going to look for the Lux/Regina electric broom that was bought with it .. EXCITED! Any suggestions on removing the spots on the chrome? Would you have to sand that and use some type of polisher? Hm

    Finally :D

    Me & my grandpa were talking about the days .. And I brought up how he used the vacuum everyday.. He then told me the vacuum was in his basement in a pile of dirt because he no longer needed it ... Guess what I brought home? His Super J! I saved it just in time!

    My collection of Kirbys

    I'm not lucky at all .. Unfortunately being from Rural KY everyone thinks their Kirby vacuum that they paid thousands of dollars for, 40 years ago with age showing, is still worth $100+ .. I visit vendor malls, thrift shops, and goodwill's every weekend and not a single vacuum in sight.
