Wow! Toby, that is indeed a rare beauty! I can see why it was at the top of your, "Holy Grail", list. Hang on to it and enjoy. Charlie

Tom & Co. Wish I could be there but duty called and I could not get out of it. With you all in spirit! Have a great time and keep the pictures coming! Best, Charlie

Morgan and Hans, many thanks for your kind words. As you both know, I always like my vacuums, "clean enough to eat off of!". I have never liked getting a vacuum on ebay that was not ready to use. Someone else's crud is never appealing. Or, turning on a newly acquired vac and smelling, "dog"...

Further reducing the collection. The Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 is next. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/172227018361?

Tom....... Thanks for your nice compliment! I try to sell my vacs the way I would like to receive them if I am buying--clean and ready to use. How did you like the bag conversion to take the micron magic bags?

Reducing my collection. Another Kirby on ebay! http://www.ebay.com/itm/172211753587?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Fred........... I must agree that the Air-Way is a definite keeper! It is so versatile for both your carpeted areas and non-carpeted areas. Plus, you have those great tools for above the floor cleaning. Remember the ceiling fans. I've had many Classic IIIs and loved them all. I wish I had...

The Premier.......... sure is a nice looking vacuum. You rarely see those anymore. I had one at some point in the past and it was a great vacuum. Hope you get it up and running!

The....... Air-Way upright twin motors could make a wonderful come back. Use lighter metal, modern plastic for the bakelite handle, a geared belt on the brush roll, better clear plastic on the swivel dome and a longer hose to go on the handle end. Also, a on/off switch for the brush roll on...

Hans........ There is an old expression: "25 goes into 50 a hell of a lot more than 50 goes into 25". Wait you get to the 60's! If one more person tells me that the 60's are the new 40's I'm going to vomit. BTW, I really like your vacuum pics here and on your new thread. Keep them coming!

Tom....... Many thanks for your kind words. I really enjoyed our phone conversation and am glad the, "new", old bags have a home where they can be seen and enjoyed. As I mentioned to you, when the time comes that I will not be able to have my vacuum collection, most will be sent to the...

Fred.......... This has happened to me in the past. It is outrageous that Bill Edstrom, who has been to conventions and even did a Kirby presentation, (as he is professionally involved with Kirby), scammed you this way. Just when you think you can trust people on this site you find out that...

Air-Tec Has closed it's doors and sold the company. I am a former Air-Tec distributor and they had been on the way out for some time. George Lovely Sr., owned the company and retired some time back. George Lovely Jr., decided it was time to sell the business a few months ago. They no longer...

And.... A Kenmore upright with hose and tools. http://www.ebay.com/itm/172096775464?ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1554.l2649

New vacuums........... Kirby Tradition. http://www.ebay.com/itm/172096792135?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Citation I thought maybe someone would post a photo of a Citation but that did not happen so I wanted to post a picture of mine. The Citation is one of my favorite Hoovers. Along with it's sister vacuums, the 63 and 29, they are great machines. The balance of the handle, ease of use, nice...

Let me explain a few things about this particular Kirby. I purchased it complete in the box with ALL attachments in Illinois at a antique store for a friend. I opted not to keep the rug shampooer and original box. The motor needed some work and the whole needed a good cleaning and buffing...

Charles.... Do you still have the 150 or has it moved on to a new owner? Wonderful pics of it! And all the literature, boxing, etc. I never had the tools or tool caddy but I did find a correct hose but gave it to Fred Nelson for his birthday several years ago to complete his ensemble. I am...

John That conversion kit is for the Hover 28. I made mention of that in the post. It just happens to fit on the 150. I think it would fit on a number of Hoovers that are configured the same regarding the bag attachment. I thought it would be interesting to show it on the 150. I should...

Tania and I... shipped Terry's 150 to someone who had expressed an interest in it. I don't remember who it was but Tania might. If she reads this hopefully she will remember. When we were helping disseminate Terry's collection, we shipped nearly 1000 pounds of vacuums and small electrics to...
