Nice machine. But what a beast indeed. I have the exact same model Bison as you. As impressive as the Bison looks I've gotta admit its no fun to vacuum with. Its one of those machines that's for show as opposed to actually using. Not to mention the roaring motor noise. As for the belt. I...

Shake out bag Check out eBay for a shake out bag. I've had pretty good luck finding my vintage Kirby cloth bags and other misc vintage Kirby accessories on eBay. Some items are NOS and some in good clean used condition. I check the vintage vac section on eBay daily.

Fantastic restoration job You did an amazing restoration job. What did you use on the metal to get it to shine like new again? As for other parts you may need. Check out Ebay's vintage vacuum's section I have no doubt you'll find the parts your looking for. As a matter of fact, there's a NOS...

Discontinued and why? I have a feeling these extra accessories were discontinued due to the fact that most people who purchased them ended up not using or rairly used them. I have several Handi Butler units with all the attachments and I've never usen one of them. As for the floor buffing...

Hissing seal noise fix. Silicone gasket sealent lube in a tube. As with any rubber gasket the rubber dries out and isn't quite as flexable/supple over time. I've had excellent results using silicone sealent lube on all my vacs rubber gaskets especially my Lux's. Works great on the large rubber...

Rather pricy for parts & reconditioned vacs Well I checked out the GoodVac link and seems rather pricy to me. A reconditioned Lux 2100 for over $700.00 ???? I've got 4 2100 Lux's in pristine condition with all attachments. If anyone wants to buy one of em. $400.00 plus shipping and its yours.

Nice Kirby G3 with all attachments. Just needed a little buffing & works great. Couldn't believe this one for only $25.00 Well worth the hour drive to pick it up.

Fantastic machine I got a beautiful FQ Majestic off Ebay a few years back. Its one powerful machine & very quiet. As for filters etc. I find great prices for the cones, charcoal filters & upper filter ring's on eBay. In so far as changing filters etc. Go onto Youtube, type in Filterqueen and...

UMMMM? Great price. However, the seller has ZERO feedback and is located in Spain. Like the old saying goes, if it sounds to good to be true. Not to mention the shipping alone from Spain to the U.S would be around $45.00 at the very least and this seller is offering FREE shipping? Personally...

NOS Blue Bag on eBay I noticed a seller that had a few NOS vintage bags at auction the other day. One was a powder blue Royal bag. Not sure if it was a shake out though. It Didn't state in the listing info. The starting bid was low.

Great buy You can always buy the correct adopter end piece for the new hose so it'll fit on your canister. Never the less. Great buy on the NEW set of attachments. Enjoy!

I've got the first bid in on the FQ I just had to be the first to put a bid in on your Filter Queen. Looks to be in nice shape. I have one just like it. We'll see how the bidding goes. Wish me luck.

Interested in your blue Royal What are you asking for the blue Royal & do you have the attachments for it? Thanks, KG

D80 on eBay just sold for $601.17 Can't believe how much this machine just sold for.

I placed a few bids on it as well The machine and accessories look to be in near mint condition. My bid limit on it was $135.00 I already have 2 including ALL the attachments so no need for me to be a hoarder, especially at its current bid. Can't wait to see the final selling price. I'm...

Circuit board & Cord winder chard. Not only was the cord winder chard & warped, so was the wiring & circuit board under the top cover plate. I never smelled any thing such as over heated wires or melting plastic or unusual sounds from the motor. It appears it had some electrical shorting goin...

Runs, but runs slow? Runs slow? Only thing I can think of did you forget to oil/lube. Something sounds as if its binding up or not seated properly.

Cord winder Thank you all for your replys.

pulled the cord out and heard an unusual grinding noise from the cord winder Plugged the machine in and dead. It was working just fine a couple of days ago. Today no power, not even the little plug light on top glowed. Its just dead. And when I tried to retract the cord it wouldn't retract. I've...

Lookin GOOD Hi Sid, Wow, the Lux is looking good. To answer your previous question asked. The Lux I restored is also a modle 1205. My 1205 was mechanically in good condition. However, I did replace the carbon motor brushes, polished the chrome & repainted the metal body of the machine as it...
