Mine would be... ...my Kenmore canister. The power nozzle has no release button, the wands are jammed together, the bag compartment doesn't stay shut, the front swivel caster is missing, the cordwinder squeaks, and the base is cracked with several duct taped spots. Otherwise, it works...

Picture #2... ...this is the worst side (most heavily rusted) of the motor.

Picture #1... ...showcasing the impeller fan. The motor itself works.

No, I believe it still works, but it is dirty and rusty, and a bunch of crap is stuck to the blades.

Oblique brushrolls are available for the Classic-Legend II (#152581).   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kirby-Heritage-I-Vacuum-Cleaner-Brushroll-152581-/160662080167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256834caa7

Yes it is, Alex. It was actually made in 2002. Running it without either filter led to its demise... A picture of it from when it was assembled:

You'll need a special fan locking tool (part number T130) to remove the fan. Take the motor shell off, then the front fan chamber, insert the T130 tool into the slot in the bottom right corner of the motor bell housing, slide a pin through the fan pulley shaft, and twist the pin clockwise REALLY...

Does anyone need parts for a Eureka-made GE upright model 106585?   I have all pieces available except for: -motor -hose -attachments -exhaust filter cover -and both filters   So if you want anything from this machine reply to this post or send me an email.  

This is an aftermarket bag converter. It will fit any Kirby from the 516-Legend II (1956-1990.)    They use Eureka F&G bags.

Hi Tyler, it was made in 1984, not rare but not common. You got a good deal. I have a Heritage 84 and love it. You could probably get $100 if you shine it up. To polish it, take a microfibre cloth with Mother's Mag And Aluminum Polish. My favorite Kirby is probably the Tradition. It will...

How much for just the mystery Kirby and second HB?

Well... ...how much for the mystery Kirby and Handi-Butler?

I just bought the bag. LOL. Personally, I don't even really use the Sani-Scraper, so to me it's not an issue :)

Alright, I bought this new bag from eBay and it just came today.   WOW, I am impressed! I would say it gained about 20-30% more suction power with the shakeout bag. I also never realized how faded the old disposable bag was. What I find strange is the Sani-Pocket doesn't have the...

The main box would be nice, but it is not required.

How much would you be looking to get for the 518 with the attachments, one Floor Polisher and one Handi-Butler?

Could I see pictures of #16 (mystery Kirby) and #18 (Kirby 518)?

I know a lady who has a green version with the newer "sealed HEPA" filter on it. The power switch had broken, so she brought it to me a year ago and I fitted a household wall switch in there. It still works, too :)

I love all Kirbys... ...but if I had to choose one, it would be the Ultimate G Diamond Edition. An excellent performer and a beautiful machine overall!

Thank you all for advice! I'll definitely look in to these machines as recommendations.   Rob, thank you for your offer, but as you live around 3 hours away from me and my relatives, I don't know if that would be convenient...
