Yes, you can use the Kirby Instand Suds in any Kirby Shampoo System. However, that plastic bottle is very old and probablly kind of fragile,,,be careful with it,,it could be leaky.

No, those are the Rug Protector Pads, used for putting underneath the legs of furniture, ect that could rust, or corrode when comming in contact with the damp carpet. Back in the days when the Rug Renovator System was new, many households had large, heavy pieces of furniture that couldnt be...

Thank you!, very good to know. I have fond memories of that neighbor's model 31,,it was the first time i had ever seen or used a Filter Queen,,and remember being facinated with all of its attachments, how they locked on, were air tight, and by how quiet the machine was. Later, in around 1976, a...

WOW! Very nice model 33,,even has the original hoses,,that is awsome. Great job cleaning it up too! Have always loved how quiet these FQs are. Back in the early 1970s A neighbor lady had one of these,,i dont think it had the PN socket tho,,so maybe was a Model 31? This would have been 1971, 72.

Also, the Dual Sanitronic 50, DS 80, and Classic 1CR all have this same 2 sided Safety Switch.

As far as i know, the "50" really has no meaning, BUT the DUAL does. It was called the DUAL Sanitronic 50 because it was the first Kirby to have a 2 speed motor. Low for regular use, and High for hose suction. If you notice the Speed Selector Switch, located underneath the Air Intake, and...

A favorite Aunt had this exact same machine, bought in 1971, tools, hose, plastic carrying bag and all. It was still going in 1993, until the little narrow back wheels finally developed cracks, and had pieces broken out,,could not push the machine any longer with broken wheels. Unfortunatly my...

Hello, Christina and welcome! Sounds like this is an electrical problem, (obviously) which is always best left up to the professionals. Take the machine to your local favorite Vac Shop,,this is their job, so let them have at it! It may just be something out of allignment,,cord reel,,electric...

Its worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it at the time. The fact that its new, in box, and has all the paperwork, attachments, ect. DOES make it worth substantially more than a used machine, with just a few attachments and none of the extras, and sweetens the pot GREATLY. Your best...

Super Sweeper - Put a blue Tradition bag on a Heritage 2/Legend/Legend 2 Mini Emptor. Keep the old metal Sani Emptor for show. Put a G Series fill tube and bag adapter inside the blue Tradition bag. Use the G series Hepa bags ( I prefer the G4-5 bags) to improve performance. Still all...

Wow Charles, what a beauty! A favorite Aunt had that very same model, i want to say from around 1963. Large home with thick wall to wall 60s carpets. Blue green Electrolux Model G with PN 1 as the main vacuum,,and this model GE in the finished basment for doing that area, if she didnt want to...

Tjhooverman,we lived in Sparta Wisconsin (Near LaCrosse WI) in the early to mid 1970s, and there was a locally owned home center that sold and installed Beam Central Vacuums. There are many houses in that area that are equipped with them, and from what i remember of the time is that there were...

Yes, i think that is right. The DARK brown chrome dome was the last model of the D2s. They also came with a different label on the PN. Was also dark brown, and Had some colored stripes, instead of the regular plain light brown Rainbow label. Why was most everything brown,orange or yellow back then?

Thats awsome Alex! Take lots of pics when you get the collection ready to show!

Hope they get your problem fixed without any hassle. This is a good example of too many bells and whistles, mother boards, ect. Sounds like its something related to the mother board, circuts, ect. I had a basic simple Beam system with 4 inlets installed in my home in 1990, and its still going...

There is no such thing as a Kirby Legacy 2. Do you mean Kirby LEGEND 2,,made in 1989-1990?

Didnt Filtex (in the later years anyway) also make a Central Vac System? Seems like ive seen pics of their units, and the wall inlets that had lights and push buttons?

That little window in the middle of the belt lifter on the Classic 3 and Tradition, was called the "Vis A Belt"! ( supposed to be a play on words of Vis a ble?) The "Visabelt" was supposed to make it easy for the user to actually SEE that the belt was on or off the power shaft, or if the belt...

Anxious to see it! Does it have the original PN, and PN hose? Is it a Top of the line, midline or bottom?

Also, make sure the Brush Roll is set properly inside the Rug Nozzle. Check to Make sure that enough of the brush bristles are showing thru the bottom of the Rug Nozzle plate to dig into the carpet. If the carpet is thick or dense,,more (or lower) brush bristles may be necessary than for...
