    KIRBY 1-CR ADVICE

    My experience has been When a Kirby runs hot like that, it's usually the field coil that is bad. To make it worse, when the field goes, it usually takes the armature with it. The parts are still available, and I personally would replace both. Joe

    Royal motor casing gets hot

    I've had kirby vacuums Do the same thing, and it turned out the field coil was bad. I've also found that when the field goes bad, it usually takes the armature with it. Hope this helps. Joe

    An old Kirby rumor confirmed

    I actually sold that when it was new It came out with the Heritage 1-HD. It only lasted one model and by the time the Heritage II came out it was history. Joe

    Do you think Hi Jason,   Do you think $50 will cover shipping the Silverado to 93277?    Joe

    Kiirby G7 two speed motor

    That switch put the machine in "delicate mode" so you could vacuum more delicate floor coverings without damage.  In effect, that switch made the Diamond Edition a 4 speed machine.  Two speeds in normal mode and two different speeds in delicate mode.  I questioned the Kirby Company about them...

    Royal brush roll with square ends

    I found these On eBay.  You could also try a local vac shup.  They probably will have some or can get them.   Joe http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.XRoyal+vacuum+brushroll&_nkw=Royal+vacuum+brushroll&_sacat=0&_from=R40

    That is so awesome! As soon as you let me know the amount, I'll send you the money.  I have a Model XXX that I needed attachments for and Tania (Airwaylady), sent me a complete set for it.  Now my Lux collection will be complete.  Thanks again Jason.  I truly appreciate it.   Joe

    Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner For Sale

    If that macine has a power nozzle I have a D2 that looks like that one and it does not have a socket for a power nozzle. I used to have another one that did and it had a 3 prong socket and a rebadged Eureka power nozzle.

    Dyson DC 14 repair

    Hey everyone, A lot of my friends have Dyson vacuums, all DC 07 and DC 14 models. One of the DC14 clutches went bad and I volunteered to fix it. I bought the new clutch, as well as the tools needed and went to work. What a pain in the tushka! I watched a YouTube video before starting and it...

    Buying Advice - Used Kirby Sentria 1 or New Kirby Sentria II

    I'd be leery of them That price for the Sentria II is too good to be true. How well do you know the person selling them? They could be stolen, in which case you'd be receiving stolen property. If it is legit, that is a steal for the Sentria II. True, it won't have any warranty from Kirby...

    You banged out the bearing? Did you remove the retaining ring first?  It is a snug fit, but not too tight.

    handi buttler belts

    As Ben and I have discovered Those belts are rarer than hens teeth. We've both contacted the factory and they were discontinued a long time ago. I have four kirby dealers nearby and none of them have any. I'm currently trying to find a suitable substitute. If I find any (genuine or sub) you...
