Never underestimate Sears ability to market the same product with only minor changes as multiple products.

Welcome to the forum. Nothing like a Pig to get the job done.

Sweet! Get the tan wheels and paint them with Kylon Fusion. I've had great success with it on all things plastic and it wears very well. The trick is a very good clean, light sanding for a good key and very light coats 15-20 minutes apart and a full 24 hours dry/cure time before installation and...

All this Kenmore talk has got me interested... .like I need another brand to collect.

LOL... that's what comes from trying to ready a schematic with old eyes and a smart phone screen.... I thought the price was mighty cheap for a switch.

Nice!

I use schematics, those and on other suppliers, all the time. Saves a good deal of time once you have a part # to search on.

DesertTortise,   The model # is 116.29229210, 211, 212 or 213. The on/off switch is part #KC46NDWNZGUU - but please double check that... I'm nowhere near as conversant with Kenmore vacuums as you are, but if I'm reading this right, the same switch is used for all models. Available from Sears...

One of my favorite Kirby's

I too use and love both Mother's and Never Dull. A Magic Eraser also works very well on vinyl, plastic, metal, chromed and painted surfaces to remove surface dirt. Do be careful on painted surfaces as you can remove the paint pretty quickly if you press too hard.

well that posting has been heavily edited since it was first posted here. Must be someone on the board or who Googled their own ad.

Hans,   Absolutely wonderful. As Tom said, a museum quality collection. Well done!   Tom

Love that sound!! Congrats on getting it all together and running as it should.

can't wait to hear it!

Love those 'coffee can' hoovers. The only ones I may add to my collection at some point.

Trevor,   does the hose spin freely at the tank end when connected? If not, you may have some corrosion which the wd40 will help with. If that doesn't work, insert a thin metal object, like a nail file, in at the location of the release tabs and see if you can depress the spring locks. Try...

Kirby is amongst the best at carpet cleaning.

I love getting original parts like this.

shim it tight or bend the spring back. I'd shim like Constellation86 did, no risk of breaking the spring that way.

Only if NIB for both, full manufactures warranty, free overnight shipping and lifetime service... nope not even the. Way too pricey.
