    Brand new Green Bison just listed on eBay 1/8/13

    Bison Jimmy, You've still failed to answer my initial question. DOES THE BISON POWER UP? The machine under no circumstances would be classified as a used machine just because you powered. As I said in a prior email to you. Its not necessary to attach the front nozzle, or the bag or assemble...

    How to service 1963 Kirby Sanitronic Bag

    Scotch Guard You stated you hit/bumped the the bag & a poof of dust came out? Providing the bag doesn't have a hole in it. I've found that vacuuming out the interior bag, hand wash it (cold water & woolite) allow the bag to completly dry. Turn the bag inside out & spray Scotch Guard on the...

    Brand new Green Bison just listed on eBay 1/8/13

    Ya gotta ask questions on this machine. I'm rather wondering if the seller of this machine is being factual in their listing information. I find it rather odd that the seller states and tells me the machine is BRAND NEW and he or she is selling it on consignment. In rereading the listing...

    Brand new Green Bison just listed on eBay 1/8/13

    I've been chatting with the seller I've asked the seller to verify that the Bison will at least power on. It seems the seller is selling the Bison and the vintage black Kirby bag for the same owner. The vintage black cloth Kirby bag was listed a few months back for the same price of $499.00...

    Some Rare Vintage Vacuums for Sale! - Bison and Lux Upright

    It's powerful and very loud Now that I've had the Bison home for a few hours & actually did a little vacuuming with it. I can understand why these Bisons (a wanabe Kirby) didn't quite have the high volume sales its CEO/inventor had hoped for. Powerful it is. However, the machine weighs a ton...

    2 New finds this week guy's. Sentria at Goodwill & 519 on eBay

    I know the Sentria from Goodwill isn't vintage, but I thought I'd include in the photo with the vintage Kirby 519 from eBay. The 519 needs a little more TLC so far I spent the entire day cleaning it up and gave her a light polishing. She's all original with the exception of the power cord and...

    Bed and Breakfast needs a vacuum!

    I rather agree with r2d2 In reading all the comments and suggestions folks have so kindly left. I rather agree with r2d2. A powerful canaster vac such as a metal Lux or Filter Queen with powerhead would most likely be an excellent option. Both machines have the power you need. Not to mantion...

    Bed and Breakfast needs a vacuum!

    Just a thought Sounds like your going to need at least 2 vacuums. A canister & an upright. Depending on what models you choose the two vacuums may be rather costly. Is it an option or have you given any thought about installing a commercial central vacuum system? I have a commercial Beam...

    Kirby 1C Vacuum

    Sorry the C1 didn't get higher bids Well Derek, I watched the entire duration of your Kirby C1 auction. Can't believe you had 40 watchers "I was one of em" and not to mention quite a few bidders and the bidding ended at less then $800.00 I'm gonna guess its just the overall economy right...
