Good luck with your restorations! I have a feeling your biggest task will be fixing the bag bolt...welding aluminum is tough work, so I hear! I'm going to shoot you an email, because I might have something you could use... :-) ~~K~~

BEE-U-TEE-FUL!! Very nice job!! James, you always do a great job restoring those Kirbys!! We are all very proud of you! :-D ~~K~~

I prefer Google Patents! :-) ~~K~~ http://www.google.com/patents http://www.google.com/patents

Dave, No, not all of them are gone...several were keepers, such as the Air-Way tool caddy and the other Air-Way tools, as well as the tools on the right half...the GE tools I believe are gone...the model 11/12 Electrolux floor tool (I can't remember...though I think it's the 12) is sold, and...

Dave, that's some nice stuff you found! It reminds me of a picture I took a while back. I sold most of this stuff, I believe! :-) ~~K~~

I still am DUMBFOUNDED by the eBay listings these days! Some of them are ridiculous...and then the fact that they keep listing them over and OVER! Man, oh man! If they see that their $400 Hoover Model 700 with "bojack" bag isn't selling, shouldn't they at least lower it to $300 or so?! Grr...It...

Oh...I forgot to mention. Maybe you could replace the motor with an older Lewyt motor and just put in a transformer. That'd probably be the best to get it to work correctly. Good luck! ~~K~~, future E.E.! :-)

It looks to me as though (like most power nozzle motors), it's a universal motor, indicating it can run off of DC or AC. AC in the high voltage ranges is more safe, but lower voltages, I don't think it matters. The resistor would not work, like Doug said. If I ever end up designing a vacuum...

Ah! I see what you are talking about now! Probably not Electrolux, then...but I like it! It would be interesting to use a P/N with this, although no, I haven't tried it, as that cord is WAY too scary! :-) It does run well, however! Anyways...thanks for clearing that up, Logan! ~~K~~

...That's all, folks! Let me know if ya'll would like any more pictures of anything else about the vacuum. Enjoy! ~~K~~

Okay...here you are! :-) ~~K~~

And more! ~~K~~

Beats me! Must be rare! :-) ~~K~~

Interesting! It is indeed US voltage, Tom! Maybe you can test it out sooner than you might have thought! :-) Oh...just be careful! ~~K~~
