I've still been partly working but I love reading and have a lot there I want to tackle....running a business means accounting and paperwork and tax crap....lots of that still to do. Only minor working on vacuums so far...gonna rewire the worn out power cord issue on my Hoover 61, polishing a...

@preston @human We don't know when....this whole virus scare/dibilitation has set things back....would have already been up and running/available...its stopped the production at the end of the preproduction testing.

human, Yes sir, the ones we have for the Classic will fit all the models through the Heritage! The ones we have before that will work all the way back to 505. :-)

Preston if you want to keep the original emptor and use modern bags on it without being mr fixit and fabricating stuff....a solution is coming.....

I dig this thread I love reading all the different brands and models that you guys list for your ultimate find ana vacuum. I had to think for mine.... Probably a Royal power cast 9200... I just love that retro styling. Beginning of Feb I had q chnqce to buy one...NIB....CAN YOUBELIEVE IT? But...

Dysonman1 very interesting background on the Airway stuff! wow, I had no idea bagged vacuums started with them in '37!!

husky, yeah I have one....harbor freight model, its good but would be better if it was a 1 horsepower model ( that I don't think is offered from them). I"ve only recently got it up and going working on my early Model C kirby, its definitely stronger/more efficient than my hands butler. I"ve got...

Les, good job on those deep scratches! sanding was required! polishing is the big challenge next for that, I have some in the same condition and thats what I did too.....sand with agressvie grit gradually going finer....wet sanding as well before the polishing

lux_luthor your post caused me to recall when I first got my first Rainbow. I lived in a 720sq/ft apartment and it took 4 vacuuming sessions to finally get semi clear water!! I was stunned!!!! I had been using my new Oreck XL and who knows what was used before me there.

0000 steel wool, then mothers' polish with my Kirby Hand butler! on some hard spots I'd wet sand with 2500 grit sandpaper then polish

I thought my 505 emptor was pretty good, but during my restoration of my 1935 Model C......yikes. The results show I need to work more on that 505!! Also, notice the size difference between the two!

Les so you've got nine of your Kirby's that shine like that? dang, you've improved your polishing skills!! show them off! David, looks superb, I've got a nice one but I now envy yours!!!! h congrats!

I've got one But not factory bag, shipping is the killer point though, it's polished decently , I bet it would be over your $70 limit. More like $85. I posted pics last year when someone else was looking for one. I do t have those pics on this laptop currently

mark40511 your foaming comments are puzzling to me. I've used the green floor/air cleaner for decades and don't ever recall it foaming too much. I do like the smell !!!!

12 footer I too found and bought a 12' hose.... It was for the e series model so I had to get an adapter to make it work with my eEUblqck model. Love the flexibility it brings when cleaning

No, that later ( Sentria) hose is different ( diameter and style) than the Hert 2

You discovered what it is before I saw your post Rob, that model came out bedore the D4 SE( I have one of those). Keep it & start looking for a hose!

I like the story but especially your title! Clever!

Dialamaticman could you post some photos and also show the damaged areas?
