WOW!! You have done it again David that is a very good-looking Kirby. Jim

Love it!! I love the Kirby 2C, and you did a wonderful job on this one. The 2C was the first Kirby to have the new nozzle design that I loved so much. This became the classic Kirby look for decades. Jim

very nice That is a gorgeous Kirby, wonderful job indeed. Jim

Looking good! Barry, Your Royal looks great you've done a wonderful job. Jim

Dwayne, "sad such a nice old Kirby was made into a lamp" really? So maybe you didn't know that the lamp assembly is easily removed to replace with the original handle. The Kirby itself is not altered. There is nothing sad about it, some find it very cool. I got the Kirby out of the closet. Jim...

WOW!! Hoover300, Now that is a fascinating looking vacuum indeed! I love it! I'd love to see more pics of that one. Thanks for sharing. Jim

Hoover300, No need I believe you. When I restored my Kenmore, I used the same words powder coat to describe the look of the vac so I thought it might just be the case with yours. Jim

508 coupler? David, This is the coupler that came with the 505 tools I just got. Could this coupler have been used on the 505 as well? Jim

Could be Yep, it looks like it could be a member here. I found a number of my photos and photos from others I have seen here. Jim

powder coat Hoover300 Your Eureka is not hammer toned or powder coated it most likely is just aluminum oxidation and just needs to be polished. I thought the same thing about my Kenmore Deluxe. The oxidation was so bad it also looked powder coated but cleaned up with a little work. Pictured is...

second set My second set of early Kirby tools are here. I also took pictures of three different handles as well. The hose is in great shape for as old as it is. I'm happy I found these old Kirby tools and hope to find more in the future. Pictures 6 and 7 show all the tools together. Jim [this...

Wow! Chales, That is a very nice looking 519 indeed. I love the bag it looks like new. Do you use it often as a daily driver? I would love to see the other Kirby's from your collection. thanks for sharing. Jim

Automatic Stephen, I don't think this model was called the Automatic deluxe Its the newer version of the Deluxe you can see on the add picture it says Deluxe on the bag, but I could be wrong. I hope to add this Deluxe to my collection someday, it's a very cool looking vac. Please post some...

Thanks! David, Thank you for checking on that for me. I will take more pictures when I get the other parts in hand. Every now and then you can still find these old parts but it always helps if you know what to look for. Thanks again David. Jim

Nice Barry, That is an interesting Royal that looks like it will clean up nicely. One thing that I don't care for when it comes to some Royals are those stickers, they like to put all over their vacuums. They did the same thing with their hand vacs. Once the stickers get damaged it gives the...

505 hose and tools I just got these parts today in picture 1, I do believe these are 505 tools picture 2 shows the hose and other parts I'm still waiting on, that are also from the 505. Ive ask our friend David to confirm that for me. Jim

My Eureka's Eureka model K, and the model M, I hope to add some more of these Eureka vacs to my collection. Hoover300 thanks so much for all the info and Eureka history. Jim

Eureka K Wow your Eureka model K looks much like mine, and yours was made 96,516 units later. Jim

Looking good! Ben, Your Royal is looking amazing indeed. I look forward to seeing it completed. Another piece of vacuum history being brought back to life, love it! Jim
