I bought the Kirby Surface nozzle from Bentclayton.. I put it with my Kirby 561.... I had one that came with it but I stepped on it and broke it... Clumsy old me... But at least My 561 is all complete again... Dan (Kirbykid35) on Ebay

the part I need is a black post type thing that sticks out of the top of the handle. The cable that makes the transmission shift forward or reverse goes down the middle of it. Mine is broke off and the part is no longer available.If anybody has a spare one I would pay top dollar for it.I found...

Welcome Kevin! from another Kirby fan. Kirby's are my all time favorite. I have all other brands as well but I have A Kirby Model 512 and one of every model since then.(sometimes up to six of some models) I really have to get busy and weed out some of my vacuums.I use a 1960 Model 560 Kirby as...

Welcome!!! I have all models of Kirbys. Kirbys are my alltime favorite vacuum. The Kirby I use everyday is a model 561 from 1961, that is 51 years old. It is all original except for the brush roll. And that vacuum purrs like a kitten. You won't find a plastic vacuum that will ever last that...

I Love my Rainbow D4 SE PE vacuum, it has excellent suction and is very quiet compared to the E Series. I also have a E2 2 speed and I used it maybe three times and put it back in the box and sent it to the garage. But now I have one of the newest E Series (Black one) And so far I love it it is...

Gotta Love those Hoover Constellations both old and new....

Sorry this should have gone with thread 18578...

That was the first Model G, I believe.The pn outlet was on the front under where you connect the hose. My mom's old G is like that. I remember the pn cord was always coming unplugged. Our lux salesman kept giving us these metal things that would slide in under the pn outlet thus keeping the...

Toy vacuums that I have are a Hoover windtunnell, and my favorite of all I got when I was small is just like a Hoover Model 63. That is my favorite. Mom bought it for me one christmas in the 50's thinking I would like the vacuum and not be so scared of them.

what kind of belts do you guys and gals recommend to use on the older kirbys(pre generation models) 500 series specifically. I have a lot of the new kind for the G series, but none for the 500 series. I know you can't use Kirby belts on the metal Royals(found out the hard way) but was not sure...

I Love my new Rainbow! Even though I have only used it once. I have had it about six months now.. Problem is my Dachsund chewed the cord into. So I am waiting to come up with the extra $40.00 that a new Rainbow cord costs. Then I will have to figure out how to install the new cord. Then I will...

Tristars I have both CXL and MG2 models and I like them both. I think they are both very powerfull machines....But do like the attachments and wands on the CXL model better then the MG2 model better..... Dan

I have both models... the white one and the grayish silver one. I bought the white one first off of Ebay. The seller said it was in excellent condition(only used once). HA.... anyway when I got it it has some kind of a valve that opens and shuts sending the suction either to the rug nozzle or...

Oreck's That is a model I have. I like it okay, but I don't think it is worth $60.00. But since I bought my Oreck XL21 I haven't used that one at all. I used to hate orecks but that model changed my mind. I Love my XL21. But still I think they are good for quick picking up, or light...

Rainbows Newest model is fantastic. Best Rainbow I have ever had. That thing would suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch...LOL. It feels like it has as much suction as a Perfect Canister...Dan

Fantom Dirt cup Spray the inside with Febreeze and let it dry. It might take two or three applications but it always works. I usually use Febreeze on other vacuums and they always smell good afterwards.... Dan

I have two different models of the two speed Rainbows. The first one is the first two speed model Rainbow came out with. and it has that loud whining noise sounds like a jet airplane all the time that it is running.. I hate that Rainbow (I can't stand that noise) that is why it lives out in...

I would love it.... How much.

My Favorite has got to be the Kirby Model 561 or 560. They are both practically the same. I use the model 560 as my daily driver. and it works just fine after all these years....Dan

I am looking for the two piece brass fitting that fit onto a grease gun that was used to grease the brush roll and bottom motor bearings. I know they are quite rare since Hoover isn't really Hoover anymore. I would like to purchase one if anyone has an extra set they want to sell.I have a lot of...
