Looks like my Aunt's Sharp.

Oh, I forgot to mention... ...these are still available, and I have cleaned them up a bit since the pics were taken. Make me an offer on one or both!

Beautiful Kirby! *drool* I wish I had the $$ to buy it! But wait, shouldn't this be in the Super Market forum?

Yippee... Another Chinese company sucks up an American company (no pun intended.) Now TTI owns Royal, Dirt Devil, Hoover, and Oreck.   I wonder what company is next? Anything but Kirby!!

Nice find, only $5, I wish we had those great deals around here!   Looks like it should clean up nicely, get some chrome polish and it should shine like new!

I tried that, and it still slipped from 8 to the bottom.

And here's the U4119... ...hard to tell it's running.

Here's the U4411... ...this time the headlight worked.

I have two Convertibles here, in need of a good home and a spa day. Both are 80's models, plastic base.   First one: Model U4411, two row brushroll (no beater bars), headlight sometimes works, one hole in bag. Second one: Model U4119, beater brushroll, steel lined fan chamber, two holes in...

Do you have any Heritage II "shaved" nozzles with the BPI in the corner?

Ok, has anyone had this problem before? When you go to adjust your post-1984 Kirby and push the top button, it slips and goes down more than one notch. I have this problem with my Heritage II and my G4. Is there any way to fix this and is this a common problem?

Here's what I think... Best bagless: Probably my GE/Eureka (only bagless vacuum I own) Best bagged: Kirby G4 all the way! Best upright: Any Kirby! Best canister: Kenmore 116.22312202 Best handheld: Royal Prince 501 Best suited: Kirby G4

I've had this idea! Yes, a vac company by collectors would be great. We all know the best, and we can make the best types for each situation, whether it be upright, tank/canister, handheld, dirty air, clean air, etc...

If it hops or skips... That means you're going against the nap of the carpet. Reverse the direction of the machine and it shouldn't do that.

I would say Probably either a 509, 510 or a 511, based on what you described it.

We have about 20 vacuums (16 of which I own), including carpet scrubbers and hand vac's. 

Usually I prefer to vacuum every day or every other day, but my Mom takes long naps so I don't have a whole lot of time :p

Give me anything with Honda on it!  But seriously, I really don't have a preference, so long as it doesn't suck up gas and I don't need power everything!

I fix computers, electronics, and vacuums for family, friends, etc. My Grandparents actually pay me to vacuum their cars out  But my parents don't, even though I do most of the vacuuming.

I like pretty much anything with a plug or battery. I have lots of old computer and electronic equipment. I fix computers and other electronics for family and friends, in addition to vacuums :D . It's fun to tinker with things!
