Looking at the pics it looks different. Not the cord looks off. IDK.. any help would be great.

and another angle.

Question.. My handle grip seems a few shades less red and more brown than the rest of the trim on my Kirby. Is this from fading or do I in fact have the incorrect handle?

Thanks guys! I found the handle. YEY! Also, I took the wheels off an old Kirby that died.. (I try to save them all but this one was done) it was a 519. It had the gray wheels with the faint groovs. I'll have to update my pictures.

No the 508 is done entirely in the beige. It's in pretty good condition other than that.. no deep scuffs. Could be polished to a gloss.

I'm working on it Adam. I'm going to have to put my 561 bag on the 518. Just so you know. Joe

HAHA! OOPS! It's a 1-CR with a Classic III bag. I'm not good at the post 500 series Kirbys. Sorry.

These old guys are up for sale if anyone wants them. The D-80 and Classic III are in pretty good shape. The D-80 has tape around where the bag meets the sani-emptor, however the bag is in great shape. The 518 needs a bag, correct wheels and a really good cleaning. Looking to get $100 each for...

Yes I am.

Well here it is! I finally purchased a 561 to restore. The bag I purchased separately a month ago from eBay for $20. I bought this Kirby along with 5 others for $50. Most are in pretty shabby condition but a few have some potential. Let me know if anyone has interest. Models: 508, 519, Dual...

Okay.. well I just received the original 561 bag I purchased on eBay. To my absolute delight the bag was better than I though it was. No fading, tears or frays. The "Kirby" logo was bright with no fading at all. It looks like it came straight from 1961. I will update with pics soon. Also, I am...

HAHA! Got ya! Thanks everyone!

I am assuming I can't just call up Kirby an have em mail me these parts?? Can I???

Thanks guys. I'll have pics up soon enough! Ben, Are these part number original factory spec? I guess what I am trying to say is; are the the right color. It's essential to me that I build it up to the exact "colors" if you will.. of the factory original. I know there's a lot of tan floating...

Mine too Dan! Thanks!

First off let me introduce myself. My name is Joe Garvey and I am 28 years old. When I was very young (about 2) I saw my first Kirby. My grandmothers 561. Something about it.. I don't know if it was the simplistic beauty or the big puffy bag but I was literally obsessed right away. Every single...
