    Restored/remanufactured Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80

    BEAUTIFUL! I sure miss mine. The most perfect Kirby I've ever seen/owned by far. A lot of work went into it that I could never replicate again Just realized this thread is from my old account too. Wow that was 9 years ago. Odowds really did the best job in the world on my machine. Miss that shop!
