    Rainbow D2 insulation

    So I have a rainbow D2 vacuum that I had for about 6 years already and one interesting thing is that they would have a foam like insulation inside the motor. I don't have that with my rainbow but hopefully there's an alternative way to insulate the D2 so it can be quiet.

    Kirby 500 series hose locking connector

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has a hose connector part from one of the 500 series Kirbys that locks it into place when using the hose? I have a hose coupler that fits on models 505 to 515 and I just need the locking connector part. I'll be happy to pay for shipping. Thanks!

    Need help identifying my vintage Kirby

    I noticed on the right side it has the push on/off switch instead of the toggle style switch. So it's either a model 513,514, or 515. Hopefully this helps. 😁

    Are these the correct brush strips to use for the 28?

    A Couple of flaws on a Hoover U6331-930

But I brought this Hoover on eBay back around March of this year and it worked very well after installing a Concept quadraflex brushroll and plate. So I decided to take it apart to refurbish to...
