Tis the day for finding vintage 500 series Kirby machines! Congrats on a great find.

Much better with the original belt lifter!

I wonder if I can swap the belt lifter from the floor polisher to the nozzle head. So it's back to original.

Thanks for the info! I just miss the 6 blade sound. Did a bit of cleaning up today. Just a light polishing.

My excitement grows more and more.

Wow I'm blown away. I have all the original documentation from 1952 purchase. A 1969 rebuild and the 87 rebuild. Hard to believe this was $287 in 1952!

Twas rebuilt in 1987. Original 6 blade fan sadly replaced with a plastic fan

Just picked this beauty up from a local friend. 512 in sanitronic colors. Original boxes attachments and manuals! I am very excited to polish this baby up! More pics to come soon

Might have been becaus I haven't been active in the group for years but is this a new model? Last filter queen I really remember is the triple crown

Beautiful specimens all around. Awesome seeing your collection grow from where it was just a few years ago!

I remember my friend getting the monitor version of this machine. See link below. http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?12183

Great ad there, Charles! Thank you!

What's something like this possibly worth? Never seen one go for sale. Honestly with my small collection don't have much functioning use for it. I'd keep it if only I had a house with more storage space. My room is fairly full with my vacuums, desk, computer, piano guitar and banjo. Living room...

Never thought to ask. Didn't have a tag on it

If I could find a place to store it I would pick it up and hold it for someone who might be interested

Haha I may some day. I live in a 3rd floor apartment pretty full of computers, audio equip and other stuff. Don't really have any room to ever store this nor much use for one.

Didn't have the means to transport it. A camaro doesn't have much trunk space. And it had to weigh at least 100 pounds with the base. I doubt it's going anywhere fast. Surely nobody walking in will have any clue what it is.

Caught sight of an old Hoover bag cleaner today at a thrift shop. Don't see these every day. Appears to be a model 750 motor unit.

I miss my grandmas elite. Was the burgundy model with headlight, with white tools on the side and rear and silver hose coiled on tool caddy. Not sure what model it was.

Always tightened them finger right. They are finished for that and pliers would mar the surface
