Congrats! It is always fun to find a dream machine!

I think many collectors are realizing this I have noticed MANY vacuum collectors thinning their herds beginning this summer.  Interesting.   At only 34, I have been collecting Kirby for almost 2 years now.  I have kept a maximum of only 9 Kirbys at a time.  At this point, I started feeling...

Bad news regarding a lighter model I hate to break the news to ya, but these first generation Kirbys are the lightest models that the company ever produced, at around 14 lbs.  Each successive generation got heavier.  The current model, the Avalir, and its third generation counterparts...

Thanks for looking, guys! @human -  Thank you!  Yes, that is a burgundy Emptor and it also had light gray front wheels.  I guess it is something of a FrankenKirby, but it pulled up so much crud that even I was shocked!  That's a cool Gsix story.  My boss has a Gsix and brought it to our office...

Kudos to Charles Richard Lester Thank you for the machine that is changing my family's health!

Today, I gave my dad a home demonstration. After refurbishing a Kirby G4 that I got last year, I had listed it on eBay and began to get some interest in it. I called my dad this morning on the off chance that he might want to check out the Kirby to see what it can do. On our last visit, he...

Looks sweet! Great work! I also have a G4 that I fixed up, was in a similar state when I got it but looks gorgeous now. Always amazed at how these can be brought back to life. Bravo, sir!

Hey guys!  This is definitely NOT my thing, but I'm sure someone here would love to add this to their collection.  Not my sale, no affiliation, just being a nice guy and passing this info into our community.  Hopefully there is a collector present who has been looking for this and will love it. ...

Thanks guys! @electrolux137 - Thank you, Charles!  It's not half as nice as the G4 a very awesome friend gave me...  ;-)   @suckolux - I still can't believe a MARBLE made it past the fan intact.  I would have expected a broken marble, battered fan case, or completely chipped fan.  There...

Hahaha, battle scars! @suckolux -  I did!  When I removed the Emptor from the exhaust, I saw the fill tube was completely clogged in its entire length.  As I slowly unclogged it, I couldn't BELIEVE what fell out... dog hair, human hair, a marble, nails, screws, metal washers, glitter, dirt, a...

Thanks for looking, guys! I really appreciate the kind compliments! Thanks for taking out the time to be kind. There are some pretty substantial scratches on the nozzle, but as I told my friend, sanding would take longer and cost more. Since it's almost completely renovated as is, the...

A good friend that I met in musical theater texted me on Facebook and asked if I wanted her Kirby. She said it wasn't sucking and she figured I could do something with it. I offered to fix it for her, but she said she just wanted me to have it. She even said I could sell it and make some...

Today's dictionary entry is "Hyprocrisy" hypocrisy (n) the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's behavior does not conform; pretense.   A person ostensibly deplores this community and states the intention to completely disconnect and unsubscribe, due to the...

Kirbysthebest I'm not sure I understand your last post.  The Tradition did come after the Classic III (in fact, it was the model after the Classic III).  So, when did the suction release vent disappear, with the Heritage?

I have found the opposite I find that my older Kirbys get a lower pitch one lowered to the correct height.  This is what we would expect, as airflow and RPMs would dip slightly from the triple-cushioned vibration.  That's really weird that your Kirbys seem to kick into a higher gear as soon as...

Wish I could make it I would LOVE to attend this event, but as I told you, I have been scheduled to perform at a parade in promotion of the Addams Family Musical.  If I wasn't the lead, I could probably get out of the parade, but I am the lead so I must be there to promote.   I completely...

I think I get it So, cb123 is saying this thread isn't quite his idea of "porn", although he can appreciate others may think so.  He would need to see an old Kirby ad/pamphlet/brochure etc. to qualify as the aforementioned "porn".   Right???  LOL

Wow Benjamin! Your scholarship is fantastic!  Thank you so much for sharing your hard-earned knowledge so openly with the membership.  You are a fantastic resource and awesome guy over all!

I am interested Feel free to contact me at [email protected].  I have a small collection by most standards on here, however I am a well-rounded, fair-tempered, accomplished, and mature human who makes efforts to be inspirational and of integrity with my affairs and dealings with others.  I...

Charles Definitely make sure she has disengaged the TechDrive by depressing the N pedal underneath the power switch.   If you are able, it might be good karma for you to go and check it out.  I've heard of an elderly lady who tried to push a powered-off Kirby with the TechDrive engaged. ...
