The silver and white with the grey bag look fantastic. Good job. Justin

Derek, I have sent two links from ebay to a black power cord and black wheels. I hope that helps. Justin

Clay, I don't have any info for you, I just wanted to tell you that I love that vacuum of your. I have a special spot for the cigar-shaped vacuums on metal runners. It looks great. Justin

Hopester I would like to buy one of the Kirby G5s, one without that green lite on the nozzle. I'd also like one of the Filter Queens, maybe the white and red one. How much would you want for them? My zip code is 84108, do you know what shipping would be? Best wishes and take care. Justin...

Hopester, my heart goes out to you. I, too, have fallen on hard times. It seems like 'hard times' have become an epidemic these days. I truly hope things improve on your end. Are you selling things piece by piece or just all at once? There are a bunch of things I'd love to buy. Can you email me...

What a wonderful site. Thanks Mark. I have a couple of these vacuums and have wanted manuals for them. Justin

About a month ago I was hired by a friend to shampoo his mom's house with my Bissell Pro Heat Pet. I know, I know... it's not the same. It's only a domestic machine and not going to do a very good job, BUT in this case it did. It was not until after it was all over that anyone told me that they...

And here is my brown-trimmed D50 with the Tan Open-Top bag. This vacuum is my favorite vintage Kirby. This bag setup works really well and I can use the cloth-like HEPA bags, which I need since I have very nasty allergies. Let us know what you wind up doing. Justin

Louis, I had wonder about just this subject for many years and never really found a good way to convert the old, square Emtors. That is why I just put a strip of black electrical tape on the Exhaust Horn of the machine, covering the rivit heads slightly, and then put a Heritage II Mini-Emtor on...

Warm Brown... Doug, I emailed Kirby about just this subject. What I was told was that the trim is called Warm Brown and that it is a mix of grey and beige. I think that makes it Greige. The accent color is teal, called Mineral Blue. I still don't like the patter of the bag, but I will learn to...

Ben, Yes you can use a double ball-bearing type brush roller with four rows of bristles. They work just fine. You can also use the Knurled type belt. I have used them with all of my Kirbys and never had any trouble. Justin

On closer inspection I have found that the rear axel is rather badly bent. Is a replacement axel made? If not, does anyone have a suggestion as to a replacement? This thing really works well, I'd like to use to clean the house with out having to carry it. Thanks, Justin

So is the trim color grey or light brown? I will admit that I have a very slight color-blindness so to me the pictures look like more grey. I hope it's not grey. Otherwise, I like the Sentria and I want one. There really was nothing I didn't like about the Sentria, so I'm sure that I'd like the...

Dan, Just because I don't like think Kirby spent much time choosing trim color and bag patterns does not mean that I am not a Kirby Lover. I love Kirby far more than any other brand on the market or off. I just think that the 'suits' at Kirby could have done better... Red or Blue, even Green...

Oh, joy!!! Yet another shade of grey. That some original thinking Kirby. How many more shade of grey do you think they can come up with? And that bag... gag. So much for 'major changes coming'. Maybe it's a good think I can't afford one, it would be nothing more than a slightly changed Sentria...

Drake- It's OK, I should be able to fix it... I hope. Other than that the L works fine. I am going to get a newer hose out of storage to use with it. Thanks for that pack of Lux bags. I cleaned the hard floors and area rugs with it yesterday. I also used a Kirby Zip Brush to get cat hair off my...

Tried that first...Nothing Alex, I tried that... nothing. That's why I started this thread. Do you know how to replace Electrolux rear wheels? Justin

I am hoping that someone on the forum can help me. I have just been given an Electrolux model L, but it needs a rear wheel replaced. It looks like the wheels are bolted in place. Can they be replaced or will I need to have the whole rear axel replaced. Thanks in advance. Justin

Shelly, Since you already know how to use a Rainbow properly I don't think you will have any problems with it. Yes, some people get a lemon and others simply don't know HOW to use one the right way. I know people that love Rainbow and I know people that hate them and both groups have very good...

Could kirbybag please translate his message. Is it "How much do you WANT? Is it in good working CONDITION? Nice Kirby. It would sell on ebay for the RIGHT price. Let me KNOW. Thanks." Grammer and spelling seem to have become a thing of the past.
