What will happen when it reaches EOL? I will hopefully be getting a new G6 drive from Kirby Needs on ebay for Christmas. It would be an embarrassment if I took this machine to St. Louis with that drive being so whiney. I do intend to take it to St. Louis next year.

It still moves the wheels, But has very little torque. I can easily stop the wheel by putting my thumb on it. Even in neutral, when it is not under any load, it makes a whole bunch of noise.

That's nice...

A while back, I traded with my aunt an Ultimate G DE for her G5. Since I already had a much better Ultimate G DE and no G5, it was a good trade. The G5 has only one problem-the Tech Drive is shot to crap. It can hardly move under its own power, and with the drive engaged, it is almost no...

"WHY DO THEY NEVER LISTEN?!" Because they're all stubborn know-it-alls. Every last one of 'em.

That comment WAS rather asinine...

Looking for this? I may have found an avenue to get the brushroll in question. http://www.vacpartswarehouse.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=500505G&Click=365719&CAWELAID=1831370192&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=600007490000182720&cadevice=m&gclid=CIzyssHagb8CFWMQ7AodDAcAvg

Will we ever see you at a convention, Charles? I'd love to be able to meet you one day.

Vintage forum It would be great if pictures could be posted in the vintage forum so that non paying members of VL could see them!

Counting the hours... Until St. Louis! Only 8,640 hours to go!

We all had such a good time. I met so many new people, and will definitely be going next year to St. Louis. I probably should have taken more pictures, but I was too busy having fun. The second picture shows where we stopped for the night in Millersburg, OH. Show us the pictures you took from...

We didn't get to tour the bottom floor of Kirby because it's rumored that the new machines are down there. Rumor also has it that CWP and Kirby have been working on the new machine for three years.

I can't believe this!!! I'm stranded at Bill Doraty Kia in Medina with a broke down car! We're just a few minutes from the Convention, and the car will barely drive. God bless America.

Got up at 4:00 this morning, And drove 14 hours to a little old town called Millersburg, OH. This town is a time capsule. It is like going back 80 years in time. I got to ride down an old fashioned midwestern road for about 60 miles and even saw some Amish buggies! I'll be getting up bright...

I'll be there! Already packed all my grip, now just got to pick the car up from the repair shop, load up the Kirbys, and we're off!

What I do with stuck screws Get a power drill and an appropriately sized bit. Put your entire body weight onto the drill and make certain it is in reverse. Squeeze the trigger. Screw will come out. Make sure your bits are SHARP, and LARGE enough to grip that particular screw. If you find that a...

What an idiot. I don't see a transmission anywhere!

Ben, The Ampere is not a measure of power, but rather a measure of current. You said "The motor also increased power from 3 to 4 amps." What matters concerning how powerful the motor is would be expressed in watts. When dealing with Alternating Current, the formula to find power is Volts times...

Looks like the handle is original from what I can tell. Does it have a 3 or 4 amp motor?

Did you know it has its own rap song?
