Very nice! I love your Tradition! Ive always liked the blue colour on the Kirby's. Daniel :-)

Picked up this machine today, and it works greaaat! Finally another REAL Hoover in the house. I also had the option of getting a red Hoover Convertible (Ranger style), and I think I might go back and get it also. I actually really like this vac, although I wish it took bags instead of the dirt...

I have to agree. My Kirby Heritage II's belt lasted way longer that my Eureka round belts, and I use them both everyday. Im not sure why this happens, but the Kirby's belt seems to last longer :S Daniel :-)

Those are some beautiful machines Fred!! I love Tania's original LX! Daniel :-)

Thanks Greg!! :D Daniel :-)

How about my Electrolux Model 30?? :-) Daniel :-)

Okay thanks! Was it hard to do? I found the instructions for it on my computer because I saved it when Dave wrote about it on the Vintage Forum. Also, how long did it take approximately for you to do this? Thanks again! Daniel :-)

Where did you find the latex at? Ive been meaning to do this to the hose for my Canadian Model 88. Was it at a hardware store or something?? Daniel :-)

Wouldn't that be interesting, a forum about beds lol, that could get pretty pricey, let alone how big they are, it would be hard to find a place for them! LOL. And John, Id love to get my hands on a convertible one day! My funds aren't running very high lately however, so I will have to wait a...

To me it looks like this Model E that is currently posted on Ebay, perhaps with a Model G model plate/metal ring around the bag chamber. Maybe this could've happened when it was rebuilt. Just my thoughts, Daniel :-)

Does the new bag have a rubber ring that wraps around the metal lip on the bag? If not, that would be why it is not sealing. If not, and if you still have the old bag with the rubber ring around it, you could take the rubber part off of the old bag, and slide it on to the new bag. Keep us...

Im assuming John said that the machine has been under a lot of beds because the paint is worn right off of the face of the handle, probably from scraping on old bed frames. Just what I got out of it... Daniel :-)

Nice!! I bought mine on ebay too, and with a little work, they can look as good as brand new! I also second the point that this vac is one that every collector should own. They are such quiet and awesome machines. Heres a picture of mine. Happy Vacuuming! Daniel :-)

Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it! Daniel :-)

I have read that she is an expert as well from reading previous threads, and I hope that she will reply. Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it! Daniel :-)

Here is the model plate... not the greatest picture, sorry!

Manual/Original Paperwork!

Attachments (Note: Replaced cloth hose with vinyl replacement length)

I stopped in to my local vac shop the other day, and managed to get a couple pictures of this. The owner of the store has two identical ones with original everything, even paperwork, with the exception of a replacement hose. I am trying to help him, as well as myself out by finding as much...

This is definitely not a fairfax. This is a commercial shop vac unit from I believe the late 80's? (Correct me if I am wrong on the date). I have one of these, only with a larger stainless tank, and it is really beat up. It got loaned to a couple people and just got wrecked over the years. If...
