First thing you need to check is the clearance between the brass part of the brush holder if it is flush with the plastic part of the brush holder where the carbon brush is inserted into the holder, I will post pictures on what i am talking about tomorrow. Then get a new set of brushes and then...

Ok, that is the earlier style with the 1205 motor, actually it is a Model L motor in there. Have you checked the carbon brushes, are they definitely worn or did the inner part of the brush holders slide into the commutator on the armature causing the brushes not to hit the commutator? Very easy...

This is the sticker that was on the side of Kirby's around 1960. It was stuck on the motor housing, just below the step on switch. This sticker was removed and stuck on the attachment box.

Fingerhut used the Iona Electric broom, it was very similar to the Regina but it seemed a little less durable, it might have been made in Canada?

You need to set the carbon brushes in with some commutator chalk or stone while the machine is running. there is a space between the rear wheels where you can insert the chalk as the motor is running.

Kirby endorsed Alcoa aluminum in the mid 60's, I have seen many Kirby's with the sticker on the side of the machine just below the switch.
