    Sentria II Dilemma

    Lol I work for the kirby service center. The owner can't figure out how to adjust it for that carpet type.. We've tried two brand new ones on her carpet and they ratchet worse than the one she has. I dunno where to turn.

    Sentria II Dilemma

    When I go over there today, I'm gonna take the centering spring off of the plate and see if I can adjust a bit more of a forward gap... after that I'm gonna see if I can find a g3 tranny and slide to put in it... I rebuilt a g3 for her but you can tell she's upset about going from something...

    Sentria II Dilemma

    Well.. If you guys recall I had purchased a Sentria II for my mother last year for her birthday... Well, she has done nothing but complain about it since I got it for her... Let me start this by saying She loves Kirby's and won't have anything but a Kirby... I tried my hardest to talk her out...

    American Flag Riccar

    Al's in Minneapolis special orders Brilliances... You have to order 400 a specific quantity a year to be able to order special made machines... The Radiance Premium started as a high end dealer only item that had to be special ordered... The Sand Trap RSL5 started as a dealer special order too.

    Are SEBO the only ones with optional brush rolls?

    The Vibrance and Symmetry also has the vinyl, the gold and the horsehair brushrolls. Which means any of the 4/5/6/7/8k series with the metal brush rolls can have all of the above..   Radiance/synergy has the black, the gold and the vinyl.  They supposedly have the horse hair too we just...

    The Belt Makes The Difference

    If you use your vacuum regularly you should change your belt around every 9 months... Its the cheapest way to make sure you have the best agitation all the time.

    Gold Rainbow 2 speed

    To be honest, they could never figure out what was wrong with it... You'd be vacuuming along and pull it into something and if the force was enough to make the dolly stop moving the vacuum would just shut off.. I sent it to have warranty work done 3 times, each time they replaced little stuff...

    Gold Rainbow 2 speed

    I'm thinking it'd be around 750 with shipping, but there's a bit of room for negotiation :) I need to dig it back out of storage and get pics of it again :/ The past two months have been a blur.. I restored it completely, put a new motor and control card in it and put it in storage because I got...

    Point me in the right direction, please

    As much as I want to recommend a Riccar vacuum, you aren't going to find a Riccar with a brush bar clutch under 400.... Royal makes a very good vacuum that will fit what you need. It is the Royal UR30090. It has a 12 foot stretch hose, a brush bar you can shut off and a manually adjustable head...

    Cleaning out the storage room

    Any Kirby above a 2001 is marked for rebuild. That being said, if you want to offer a fair price it will be considered. I have everything from Ultimate G's to Sentria's that have the Sentria II updates before the color changes came out.     As far as the above conversation goes about the...

    Gold Rainbow 2 speed

    I've got a Gold E2 that has been rebuilt and is up for sale... Is there any interest here? It has a new motor/circuit card, and restored tool kit (electrified hose, power nozzle, wands, straight suction hose and floor tools). I know what I need out of it, since I paid to rebuild it, but I...

    compamac unless you know of a way to have UPS do it for free, they charge a flat rate of 41 lbs to ship that size of box... So, no, its not wayyyy too much.
