I concur that the mini-meet was a great time. Sean has really figured out how to put on a great mini-meet. They keep getting better and better every time. I especially enjoyed the trip to the vac shop, even though I didn't buy anything. The experience was fun just the same. And I must say I...

Yes, I did get two Ward's catalog. I think there might have been two more, for different seasons. There were three that looked like they had the same cover so I just took one. Now I wonder if they were for different seasons but had the same looking cover. Oh well, too late now.

The GE Floor Washer/Dryer was just in the box. I'm not sure its been used, but it didn't have any packing material in the box so I can only assume it might have been used. It appears to be complete minus the instruction manual.

I had an amazingly good weekend at the estate sales here in KC. Kenny Loveland just loves to come to KC to go to estate sales, he always finds cool things. I found a Singer Golden Power Master and a Singer canister to match, a Hoover Deluxe Handivac with a kickstand, a GE Floor Washer/Dryer and...

More pics.... Here are some more pics. Some of my pics came out blurry so here are some that came out somewhat ok.

I am president of the VCCC (The Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club) and I can confirm that what Charlie has stated is absolutely true. The person has also called up hotels in the past prior to our conventions to warn them that our group is not good. I don't want to say who it is, I think it should...

Here is a pic of the model number sticker on my Tri Star CXL. It shows it has 7.8 amps without the power nozzle and 10.5 with the power nozzle. And my C5 has 7 amps. So they must have upped the amps in the middle of the C5 run from 6 to 7 amps. Unless the C5 with the Power Brush was 7 amps and...

Here are pics of my American Lincoln Super Sweep nozzle and brushroll. It looks very similar to Charlie's new find. Even though the brushroll attaches to the nozzle rather than the bottom plate, it still is designed just like a Kirby brush roll. The two sides are even different sizes, just like...

James, I do not have any other commercial Kirby's. I would like to have the small head Comvac. I'm sure I'll find one some day.

Congratulations James on the American Lincoln. I have one just like it that I acquired not too long ago. It has the same bag arrangement yours does. Chad

I would like to thank Alex for helping in getting us into Filter Queen and the Filter Queen company for treating us so well. We truly felt welcome and it was so nice to learn a little more about the company. After touring the factory I now wish to own a Filter Queen. I wish your company all the...

James, my Kirby's are in the first pic of the series. I only brought 3 this time. I would have loved to have brought them all but I didn't have room for them all in the car. I must say this is the most Kirby's I have ever seen at a convention, a nice change. Most of the time there are no or only...

Here are some of my pics from the convention. I don't think it's been mentioned yet but the club gave away a Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50 rebuilt by Kirby. Everyone at the convention had an equal opportunity to win the rebuilt Kirby. Also, just about every meal was provided by the club while the...

The VCCC club visited that vac shop a few years ago when the convention was in Minneapolis. It was a great shop with lots of old parts. Many in the club bought parts and machines from this place. I'm not surprised they have old parts because I've been there.

Ben, Barb is asking for convention ATTENDEES and their favorite brushrolls. I am pretty sure they want to know what brushrolls they currently manufacture, not discontinued brush rolls. This is a factory tour we are talking about. They probably want to know so they can tailor the tour to what the...

We started planning this convention before last year's convention. Kirby typically keeps new model details secret. We could not have known when the new model would be out. Plus, Kirby fid not want to celebrate the anniversary with our club.

The T-shirts look really cool, a must have for the Kirby Aficionado. If you want one I would be sure Barbara has your size. I can't wait to get mine.

Calem, I do believe the early 505's had the cap not the lifter. I bought one several years ago with the cap. I thought it was just one that someone replaced the lifter with the cap but then someone commented on having an early version with the cap. And I have several versions of the 505 manual...

Ben, I have never seen any of the removable models with the word "Prince" on the bag. I believe all of them had Prestige or Supreme on their bags. The 990 was Galaxie prestige, the 980 was Supreme Electro Hygiene and the 888 was Royal Prestige.
