    Kirby 505 or 2C? Kirby Frankenstein.

    some after pics I'm glad I had an extra fan. I would like to have the straight suction nozzle so I could try it out on my new tile floor. I would like the owners manual to go with it. I have the one that goes with my 2C it was sold in Tulsa!

    Rexair Model B replacement hose

    I am looking for another machine end I have a really nice original hose but don't want to cut the end off to put on a new hose I can vacuum with. Should I just continue to keep it in the closet on the shelf? I believe everything is original plus I also have 2 extra water basins with it
