Fill tube I already threw away the one it came with.  It had a hole in it and it leaked dust all into the outer bag.  That's why I am replacing it and why I had to wash the outer bag.   Even if it didn't have a hole in it, trust me, with that stink, you wouldn't want it!

SharkCar When I get it back together, I will do!  I'm opening a production of Ragtime tonight, so I've been swamped and haven't had time to work on the Kirby.  Our last rehearsal was last night, so I have my week nights back on Monday (unless I get cast in another show!).

I have a G3 available It will include the Kirby Kaddy with standard accessories, except the hard floor attachment is missing.  The G3 is currently in pieces in my garage.  I have cleaned it out down to the base pan, refinished the armature, washed the outer bag, and checked the carbon brushes. ...

Tulsa, OK?!?! Sheesh. I guess I won't be going to next year's VCCC Convention either.  

Awesome! Those really do look spiffy. Dare I say, other than the Ultimate G Diamond, this MAY be my favorite contemporary Kirby!

Congrats! Looks great! Love that blue color.

You scored TWO of my dream machines there! Unbelievable. Congratulations, I can only hope something so wonderful happens to me one day!

Reminds me of a gold Kirby Tradition I purchased for some very VERY pretty (few tens of thousands of) pennies. When I got it, it was deeply scratched, missing cord hook, reeking of cigarette smoke, and gaskets so dry the Emptor wouldn't attach. At least it had a new (replacement) brushroll and...

Ooops.  :-D

That was to be expected at such a cheap price. Obviously it was going to be a fixer upper. All those parts should be readily available. If you need to replace the fill tube, I'd also launder the permanent bag and wash out the Emptor and disposable bag adapter. That way, you won't blow...

Congrats! Looks like you got your dream machine! Congrats! Isn't that a lovely feeling? Now, please send me the good jujus so I can find my Kirby 508!

Bravo! Welcome to the brotherhood. You did a fantastic job, can't wait to see what you next share!

My Heritage II has the old-style nozzle. Given the smaller emptor and improved fill tube design, I find the Heritage II to be superior to the original Heritage. I'm actually fixing up my Heritage to foster to a new home.

CRAZY! Yeah I never get that lucky in the thrifts! Congratulations on the steal of a lifetime!

Sounds like you have at least one issue in common. G3#1: 1. Replace handle pivot spring assembly. If the Tech Drive engagement is still stuck after appropriate handle pivot spring assembly installation, continue on to the next repair. 2. Check/replace guide blocks for slide bracket (under...

I'm not a Hoover or Eureka collector at all, but those are some GORGEOUS vacuums you've posted!!! Definitely a nice change from the over-priced garbage heaps I've seen some unscrupulous characters attempt to unload on here. Bravo for breathing new life into this Forum!

The Convention sounds awesome! I wish I could afford to go, but alas a trip to the Midwest is just not in the budget. I wish you all a great time, so envious and wish I could play too!

I'm sure you already know this, but just in case, that is not the proper box and attachment box for the DS 50. It is beautiful though!

At a recent cast party for a show I had just closed, Frank Sinatra: 100 Years, I saw this Hoover shop vac hanging on the garage wall. It belongs to the host of the cast party and my fellow tenor singer. Was a wonderful cast party catered with delicious, homemade Italian food. One thing I...

Brilliant, Wyaple! Thank you SO much! I didn't get a chance to do this because I got home from rehearsal late. Hopefully tonight, if they don't keep us in dance rehearsal too long!
