So it’s been months since I own this G3 and I got the pivot spring replaced at Hook’s vac shop and it needs more polishing again and I want to get the black spots off and clean the inside of the rug nozzle. Anybody know a special way to clean the inside of the nozzle? Steel wool pads should...

Awesome find! Almost complete with the attachments too! You know last month I ALMOST won a gold yellow Electro Hygiene canister vacuum with complete attachments on eBay till someone else wanted the vacuum too. Oh well, that’s how the game plays!

Sweet!!

And they’re really great vacuums too! Excellent suction and well built! I have a one I got at Goodwill back in February. Mine was made in October 2001.

The self propelled Windtunnel had a great long 20 years! 1998-2018.

KirbyClassicIII, does it mean my Heritage II is rare too?

Here is the Heritage II in action. And this vacuum is dated September ‘84.

Curious Question. What year did Europe first sold Kirby vacuums? For instance like the United Kingdom?

Thank you KirbyClassicIII!! Soon when my family and I move to a new house I’m planning on putting new fans on my 3 Kirby Classic vacuums, G3, and 517. It should be very easy to remove since I put the screwdriver on the cooling fan and twist off the pulley with pliers.👍

Great news! Yesterday my new fan arrived and later that night I placed a new fan on the Heritage II and works great with no weird noise! The old fan was cracked with some hair caught on it. 👏👏👏👏👏 And the stupid gasket maker tube burst open while I was trying to place some on the front plate. Lol

I have that same problem on my ‘84 Heritage II Turbo and it makes a weird noise too so I got a new kevlar fan so wish me luck!

I’m thinking which one I like, the Decade 80 dirt cup which looks cool or the Singer with cord rewind.

Hi Larry, it’s Gabriel, are all the vacuums still the same price? Just curious. Thanks.

So I switched the G3/4 hose adapter off of the stretch hose and put on the standard 7 ft hose that came with the attachment set and also I used the zip brush with the standard hose and the brushes was spinning like crazy! Way much better than the stretch hose! And I also placed the G5/Avalir 2...

Well I fixed the hose and I tried it out with the zip brush and it does lose some suction. I definitely would stick to the standard hose.👍

I didn’t know that the stretch hose would have some bad reviews. Shoot I thought they were awesome.

Huskyvacs, I looked at the eBay description and they are a genuine Kirby brand.

So a few days ago I got a new stretch hose for my Kirby G3 and it’s really cool looking till I found out on the end I saw a tear. How did this happen and is it there a way to fix it? I already let the seller know.

Also I found out I actually need to get a stretch hose with the G3/G4 hose end since if I use a G5/Avalir II hose on the first 2 Generations, it loses a bit of suction.

Rivstg1, I have a 1957 Kirby 517, 1971 Kirby Classic 1CR, 1974 Kirby Classic Omega 1CB, 1977 Kirby Classic III 2CB, 1984 Kirby Heritage II Turbo 2HD, and a 1991 Kirby Generation 3. Hopefully soon I would love to get one of the 40’s, early/mid 50’s, and 60’s Kirbys.
