I picked this up yesterday for $5.00.

I was painting today at a funeral home and the vacuum of choice was a yellow, commercial Eureka. It did not seem to be very loud, just the familiar sound and hum. My question is, are commercial vacuums generally louder or quieter than household vacuums?

I think it is a good idea if you were running a catering or cake decorating business out of your home. A friend of mine decorates cakes and has crumbs everywhere in her kitchen. Personally, when I wipe down the counters and there are crumbs, I just open the dishwasher door and sweep everything...

Don't lug a vacuum... plug in a Beam.

To quote Blanche Devereaux, "it has been a personal triumph!" I just wish I could get the friggin' belt on. I think it is a very attractive vacuum. Just a bit of polish and a Mr Clean Eraser.

Is the lever suppose to go completely around? When the belt says, off, its on. Do I need to oil it? I am afraid of snapping it off.

So far, so good. I have the fill tube on, the handle, the cord. I found out that the sani emptor has to be on just right for the machine to work. I can't get the belt to go on. After more Googling, I realized there is a little lever that pops out from the big button. I wish I had instructions.

I guess I need the back of the fork? The lower hook is broke off. I saw on eBay, they are about $5.00.

Is the brushroll still good? It fits ok, but after Googling, they said there were different settings on the roll, 1-4 if it was old. I could only find green and red on the roll.

The G5 was missing the fill tube, the brush roll and the brush roll plate. I am impressed that I got the fill tube off the the G3, without putting a hole in it. The fill tube was on backwards on the G3. So far so good with the transplant

Here are the four Kirbys that I have. The two Heritages, came from the curb. The G3 I bought at a yard sale for $8.00. The G5 I bought with a Filter Queen for $10.00. I have never liked the looks of the G3 and stashed away the G5 and totally forgot about it. Last night I found it and decided to...

The colours together are awful, I love it. The mucus green hood, is the best.

Gorilla glue will fix just about anything and it is really strong. It does expand when it dries. I don't know if the excess could be sanded off? If you tried a piece, see how it works and try to keep the ooze to the underside?

Did they work well as a dry cleaner?

Has anyone ever owned, used or have on of these?

I just saw this picture in the 1975 Christmas catalouge. I never knew uprights had a tool attachment on the front? Was Kenmore/Singer the only uprights that had it?

Nice vacuum. I like the colour. My brown Filter Queen, has the same melted, cracking problem at the end of the hose. Mine isn't quite as bad as yours. I can get the tools to go on, but getting them off, is really hard.

What is the machine 6 in from the right? Is it a steamer? What a beast.

You can see my rant better on AW.Org. I never knew that Beatty made vacuums? Has anyone ever owned or seen one?
