    MY NEW VINTAGE KIRBY WEBSITE!

    Was It released by kirby painted? The kirby company providing info on pre G3 models is utterly impossible. I'll go to your website again. To be blunt is it authentic because plastic mini emtors took over h2l1. Thanks in advance.

    the Blue 🔵 Compact Electra is back.

    No Problem. I love the VAC hepa bags but I couldn't find any at a reasonable price. The red and silver is rare 2 speed. The silver 2 speeds were called silver bullets. Atleast a guy who sold them told me this. He also said that if he gave a demonstration it was an easy sale because they...

    Kirby Model 4C

    You Think it could be NOS non original. You better ask David if the OD of the belt caps ever changed since his opinion fits what you want to hear. Just because the man speaks it's not gospel. His opinion is opinion not facts. Assuming u already know. If Jim's theory or opinion doesn't fit...

    Kirby Model 4C

    Umm I love how photos are rotated and reordered I attached front and back of my 505 original belt cap, NOS belt cap and 505 belt lifters. I'll let you use your imagination. Yours should look like my used 505 belt cap. My 505 should be from late 1945 but I've not opened up the machine and...

    Remove permanent marker stain Hoover 28

    Um When I worked at Walgreens people wrote rap verses on the bathroom stalls. The pharmacist sprayed 90 isopropyl alcohol 91 proof and it came off like butter. Soak it with alcohol. Gas removes impurities off aluminum kirby polished bodies. It's the texture of the paint oil or water...

    Genuine question

    Yes Your going to compact and smash things compromising air flow. I keep the handle on with it in handle lock position. My avalir 2 is close to suction power of my proteam backpack vac and my patriot.

    Kirby Motor Sound

    The Older kirbys will have slight buzzing sound from armature and older motors take a little longer to wind down. The fans move more air than and non metal fan. The secondary fan on 4 amps are more efficient but they're pushing 4 amp motor instead of 3 amp.
