Kirbyman65 J., Among the Regina Electrikbrooms, there were also those with a power head, called the Electrikbrush (renamed Powerteam). The early Electrikbrush models from the mid to late 1970s were good, but the quality declined in the 1980s. ~Ben

Paul And much longer than the 1976-79 period Kirby used it for. ~Ben

RoyalFan103 Victor, As far as I know, no. Good luck! ~Ben

RoyalFan103 Victor, I believe this one is from the 1950s. Prior to 1947, Aldens, a Chicago-based department store chain, was called Chicago Mail Order & Millinery Company. It ceased to exist in 1985. ~Ben

Kirby 513 to 519 I think Kirby's model 513 to 519 were the most superior vacuum cleaners built during the 1950s. ~Ben

EvolutionClean1 Jake, Either that (order part no. 1-503004-000) or there may be tufts of hair around the motor pulley (shaft). ~Ben

EvolutionClean1 Jake, The 523 Plus and the 533 Pro Series were the original generation two-speed Dirt Devil hand vacuums. Both were originally introduced in 1986. The 523, in red, was the mainstream model as it was sold in various department stores while the 533, in blue, was part of the Pro...

vacuser Dwayne, The cord on your machine is, as Rob (kirbylux77) had pointed out, a replacement (from a Classic III); originally, it was gray with red male and female plug ends. ~Ben

LesinUtah Les, Thank you for the heads-up! ~Ben

LesinUtah Les, I think you were named after actor Leslie Nielsen, who played Dr. Rumack ("and don't call me Shirley...") in the 1980 film Airplane! and later Lt. Frank Drebin in the short-lived 1982 TV series Police Squad!, correct? ~Ben

vacuser Hi Dwayne, I suppose you gave that seller negative feedback afterward. ~Ben[this post was last edited: 5/7/2024-18:39]

vacuser Dwayne, The correct rear axle part no. would be 102080 (4.5" long) and was used on all Traditions, Heritages, Heritage IIs/Legends and Legend IIs with the large Em-Tor. Did you contact your local post office about your missing package? I am sure it may have gone missing before getting...

vacuser Dwayne, All Heritage model 1-HDs (Heritage 84 also) had the narrow 4.5" long axle as the only Em-Tor they had was large. Beginning with the Heritage II model 2-HD, the Mini Em-Tor was used on most models and thus had the newer, 6" long rear axle; however, those Heritage IIs with the...

Tylerhawkins84 Tyler, In that same ad, the basic 103 w/o the tools was just $34.99 while the 500 and 510 with the tools went for $39.99 and $44.99. The NASCAR special edition, model 504, retailed for $39.99. The respective regular prices were: 510: $49.99 504: $49.99 501D: (drumroll)...

Tylerhawkins84 Tyler, What a unique design, indeed! Your 501D was built in June 1993 per its serial number. In a 1993 Target ad, this retailed for $79.99, which was quite expensive given its metal construction. ~Ben

kenc184 Ken, My apologies... thank you! ~Ben

KenC184 Ken, On the G3 and G4, the impeller fan still had the tall fins, but the only difference was that for these two models, in the back side of where it's mounted there is a dipped (recessed) area near the mounting hole in order for it to fit smoothly against the G3's motor unit. This is...

KenC184 Here's the fan from my 1993 Kirby G3, which is still original. It's the best I can do until I disassemble my G3. ~Ben

VacsofProsper Gabriel, Oh, OK... my eyes tricked me. Thank you! ~Ben
