I'm considering selling my my Kirby Omega and the Classic 3, (probably locally since I don't want to ship something this big) and was wondering what would be a good price to ask? They both run nicely, although the Omega doesn't have any attachments except the rug nozzle (Maybe have the hose)...

My Filter Queens and my Rainbow are pretty quiet, and as far as noisy, any cheap plastic vac like the Bissels,, and any other big box store vac.

Got the parts today, thanks again Calem!

Thanks! That is one cool record player too. I am seriously thinking of upgrading, but not because of the adverts, as I don't see any! (I use Adblock Plus in Firefox) :) Happy thanksgiving! Will

I use sae 30 non detergent oil, I think everyone has a preference on type, but I've heard this is usually good.

Vac Whisperer, I know it's not made by Royal, I was asking if the nozzle was attached like the Royals were, (with screws as opposed to a latch) and from the other comments, it appears to be. How many other commercial vacs did/does Kirby make?

Says it's for "upgraded users only". seriously they block too much stuff for the "regular" users. Most other forums have the messaging system available to ALL users. Email me at [email protected] that email is so full of spam, I really don't care who knows it. Let me know on here, so I know to...

is this built like a Royal in that the floor nozzle is not removable? What was the story on these?

Ok, see no way to send a PM, so I'd be interested nonetheless. You wouldn't happen to also have the "spring" that holds the handle up too, would you? It's a metal strip with a loop in the end that is on the back of the fan housing, and it locks the handle in the upright position.

Wheel assembly cb123, I might take you up on that, I'll send you a PM. Thanks for the info guys!

ok, so it's either a 10 or 9, I'm leaning towards a 9, because the 10 has the wheels on the machine itself, whereas the 9 (like mine) has the wheels on the nozzle. And at around 90+ years old, it's one of my oldest vacs, right there with the Hoover Duster! I'd like to see a vac from a big box...

looks like a model H http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?8699

I brought this old beast hiome the other day, and it was in a bad way. You would plug it in, turn it on, and it would make a horrid grinding/squealing noise and shoot sparks out the back of the motor! Well, After I got it home, looked it over, and started work on it, I was determined to bring...

Thanks!

There was a site that had FREE manuals for some vacs on it, if I can find it again, I'll post a link. (I'd pay a few $ for a printed manual, but not for a digital one I can get for free elsewhere)

no, rotten most likely. Now if I could only get that damn fan off! The shaft is stuck, and I'll likely have to break the fan apart to get it off. (already broke a blade of it, so it's not good anymore) This will likely be a parts vac for a future vac in need of main motor parts, as the motor...

Just shows how durable they are! It won't be neglected now at least.

Update, some cleaning done. It still works! Although I broke an impeller blade! Doubt I'll easily find another metal one for a good price. http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae297/telxonmaster1/DSCF0065_zps2a0942a5.jpg

I was over at a friend's house when I saw this sad sight in their carport Since the photo size on here is ridiculously low, I'll post a link at the bottom. She told me that this old Kirby had been sitting out there for several years, and no one wanted it. I told her I'd take it, and hopefully I...

Ok, that makes sense, although the brush I have is white on the brush part with blue "wings". I'm tempted to get that set.
