Cord rewind for Kirby Alex That is very interesting to hearing about the cord rewind for a Kirby. Especially way back in 47 - 51. Always wondered when I was a kid, if or why they had not thought of such a thing. Not I know that at least a Patton had be granted. Maybe for the new one for...

kirby 517 Well you don't say if it has all of the attachments and what kind of condition it may be in. Especially the bag ! If the bag is in good condition and hose and box of attachments are there. It could be worth about $100.00. But then, you could always make him an offer of $25.00...

vacuuman206 Nice meet you and love your well cared for Kirby's. I wish I had my grandmothers 508. Was wondering why it is that all your Kirby's are all the way down to "0" on the carpet setting. Accorging to the book, the carpet height adjustment should be raised all the way to the top...
