    Kirby Split Second 1 & 2 pics and Questions

    Turbo Groomer - for facial hair... Not for grooming fabrics, the Turbo Groomer that came with the H1 to use as a beard trimmer. They are super difficult to find. It’d be neat to come across one in good working order. I think Whal made the blades for it.

    Kirby Split Second 1 & 2 pics and Questions

    That’s a very nice H2! Congrats! I’ve yet to come across one that included the Split Second, and I’d love to see one with such a setup. Makes me think of the H1s that had the Turbo Groomer tool. I’ve looked everywhere and can not find one. I actually found out about that tool when I was Googling...

    Pricing on vintage fiinds

    Yes... I’m more eyeing the unit itself. It’s the color combination that I love. The yellow with red lettering against the blue...and the shiny metal... it just pops and screams “Hey everyone! Look at me!” I’d really like to make an offer, but as MadMan mentioned, this person probably believes...

    Pricing on vintage fiinds

    Found a neat Electrolux on local Facebook marketplace. They are asking $150, which I think is a bit much. A good friend of mine (and fellow collector) agreed. At the same time, it’s a really nice machine and I’d love to have it. So, question is... what’s a fair offer?

    Repurposed Kirby on OfferUp

    Huskyvacs Hey there! Yes, I completely understand and I’m on the same level. I’m a vet tech for a living - none of us are in it for the money, as the money is pretty much non-existent. The vacs I own have all been obtained and restored by me, exceptions being the 2017 Avalir and my recent...

    Another D80!

    Turbo groomer Yes, the Turbo Groomer was on the Heritage... I was not being clear at all, as I was just rambling on and letting my thoughts spill out randomly.

    Repurposed Kirby on OfferUp

    Filter Queen lamp I really dig the Filter Queen lamp! I don’t like the Kirby lamp (picture I posted). It just seems very lacking, and well... I just don’t like it. What you did with the Filter Queen I think celebrates what it is, at the same time giving it a new purpose, good job! I’m...

    Another D80!

    Delay So sorry for my delay in replying, I’ve been a bit under the weather the past few days. Les, email me with some more pics of what you’ve got. On the subject... does anyone have the turbo groomer attachments? Those seem very difficult to come across.

    Another D80!

    Box I have the boxes for the Handi-Butler and the Rug Renovator, the box for the attachments I do not have, also, The box for the cleaner itself and I don’t have the Roll O Waxer. If you have those, certainly I’m very very very very interested!

    Another D80!

    Well, I’m quickly seeing the helpful nature of so many people in this group. I wanted to say a quick thank you to all those who’ve helped me (you know who you are). Just a couple of days ago, I received a message from another member informing me that if I needed any accessories for my D80, that...

    Repurposed Kirby on OfferUp

    Keep it coming! I started this trying to be polite... truth is I think this is just awful! I did message the seller (haven’t heard back yet). IF it still has what it needs to be what it was built to be, then for $45 (and shipping if seller is willing) I’m happy to rescue it. Truth is when I...

    Vac Store Clean Out/Downsize

    D80 Hey, This is Chris... I called you the other day about the D80s, I’m the one from Florida. I sent you a text earlier today, I know you are hugely busy, but I just don’t want to miss out... I did check my attachments, and whatever you may have for a D80 in addition to the D80 itself would...

    Repurposed Kirby on OfferUp

    I was scrolling through the listings on OfferUp trying to find the next must have for my collection. I stumbled upon this... correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m guessing it is/was a 508. I was scrolling not too fast but not slow enough to see right away how it had been violated. I scrolled back and...

    Vac Store Clean Out/Downsize

    Kirby D80 I saw in one of the pictures, a Kirby D80.is this accurate? How much? I have family in Knoxville who can pick it up and I can have them ship it to me. Just need to know what you want for it.

    Project D80 complete!

    Texaskirbyguy Do tell me more about your Kirby guy whose got the extra parts! The red trim... I’ve saved it all. I’m actually about to start restoring it. I was thinking it may come in useful. I’m not sure I’ll save the cloth bag, as it’s an aftermarket “NoDust” and I just can’t think of any...

    What happened to cheap?

    Thrift store pricing I’ve too noticed an increase in pricing for your more premium appliances (Kirby in particular - at least in my area - St. Augustine, FL). It used to be I could run across them for no more than $20. Most recently I saw a G3 (in terrible shape) for $75. At another shop there...

    Project D80 complete!

    Bag guard Thank you! Finding one that color in good condition has proven very difficult. I bought this machine with red trim and some aftermarket “NoDust” bag, so I don’t have anything to swap out. The part number certainly helps. If I can find it, I’ll let you know! Thanks again!
