THat's so awesome that we are still finding these in homes!!

I have a catalog from around 1963-65 with these in them. Don't know where they are right now or I'd show them

Very nice! This is a late 80s-early 90s twin fan with T shaped handle

Thank you. Ebay says refund is pending as soon as seller receives his items back

Looks very nice!!! This is one that I still need to find a decent example of for my collection. I have one but she is rough and has replacement bag.

Don't fall for it. I bought 6 of these from this seller and he sent me wintunnel self propelled brush rollers. I can order those from my suppliers at half the price I paid. Still working out refund details.

They should have added a power nozzle for one thing!!! Mine has a power nozzle that I added. Since my white one is a lower end model I put a matching lower end white and grey Furtura power nozzle on mine. (not the one for sale)

Everyone sees a Kirby and oh its ancient lol I've even had people say do they still make Kirby and I will show them a newer one and they think it's 50 years old.

You can try lightly spraying wd-40 and use 2 needle nose pliers to gently get it to working. 1 to hold the bag and 1 to hold the zipper. If zipper breaks then a seamstress is your only option.

If it can't be unfrozen you can always take it to someone who can do sewing work and have a new zipper put in. I have done this many times.

That looks like a decade 800

There are 2 versions. If yours is a c-8 then you need the black label nozzle, if it's c-9 then you need the gold nozzle

What you have here is an early version of the 2 speed model. The later version of this model had hammer tone texture to all of the chrome bits and sported the all new Tri-Star made power nozzle. This company started around 1947 then called Compact. In 1982 They changed the name to Tristar but...

Yes early when you consider they might have made 100,000 units.

I have a nice used white one I would be happy to sell if you don't have any luck finding one

And I have to admit I too have been guilty of calling someone up and saying hey would you sell that I would love to have it etc.

Bikerray, I know what you mean. In the past there have been MANY times I have had to keep things I have got to myself because I didn't want to deal with the phones calls or messages of omg I want that you sell or give it to me please it's special to me because it was my Mom's uncle's brother's...

Very nice!! These came out somewhere between 73-75 ish 26,000 off the line means it's fairly early production I would say but I am NOT an expert. If you look up in the forum search and type in maybe convertible list you will pull up a post with a list of all the metal Convertibles and their info...

The first commercial convertible and its an early one with the large Hoover medallion. Rare model. Early mid 60s The base is the same grey color as the first Dial a matic.

Rick, yours came from me. Yes those are very rare now. Commercial? I dont believe so but I coumd be wrong. I had a hard time parting with mine but I was happy to gift it to an Oreck guy lol
