The transmission from the Sentria should fit the G4.  I'm pretty sure the transmission is the only thing that fits universally across the Generation series.  The mini-Emptor should also fit, as the exhaust connection port is the important part, and that hasn't changed in the Generation series.

Kirby clippers I'm interested!

They are fun to work on! The vintage Kirbys scare me cuz I know parts are scarce, but truth be told, they are probably just as easy to work with. The best part (for me) is welcoming a new member into the Kirby Family!

Thanks guys! @human-  If you look closer, there is a Kirby Dirt Meter on the exhaust.  I gave her a full Home Demonstration.  She absolutely loved it, she was giggling giddily when I snapped this picture!   @electrolux137-  Thank you!  This is my first G4 refurbishment.  I just finished the...

I can't believe I've never shared this on Vacuumland! This is my first ever Kirby refurbishment, a Kirby G4. It was in okay shape to start. I really just had to clean it out internally. I did wet sand the aluminum and polish with a small polishing wheel on a drill. It's not as good as my...

Welcome Charles! I hope you enjoy this resource and make some friends along the way. Beautiful Kirby collection, bravo!

Do NOT use hand sanitizer on glasses! Alcohol is TERRIBLE for plastic spectacle lenses, including CR-39, polycarbonate, Trivex, mid-index plastic, and high-index plastic.  The alcohol in the cleaner strips away the top laminating layers, which leaves the lenses susceptible to scratches...

Matching wheels!  

Wow!  Some awesome parts there that I need!  Too bad he's not in Northern CA!

OK, Charles, that was pretty cool.  I will nominate you for a Nobel Peace Prize.  LOL

$99?!?!  Wow!   I wouldn't pay $9 for that monstrosity.  In whoever's defense, I'm sure she doesn't know how a 518 is supposed to look.  But still, $99?!  That thing doesn't even have both front wheels!

WOW!  Obviously not a Kirby-approved servicing.  Eeek gads, what are you gonna do?!

Suckolux So glad you're using your Kirby! Have you tried cheating and extending the brushes on the brush roll a bit?  Extending the brushes past the recommended 1/16" will help break the seal on the carpet, thereby rendering the unit easier to move.  You should notice lovely Kirby lines on the...

Wow that looks gorgeous. This coming from a die-hard Kirby fan. Bravo!

Awesome score, congrats!!!

"Sausage Stuffer"… that was my nickname in college.

7, 8, 9, or 10 please! I would like one please!

Just polished tonight with my bestie. I worked on my Heritage II and he worked on his DS 80. Here's the outcome.

Human Oh hell no! I would be in small claims court. That's my baby!!! LOL

This is my Kirby Heritage II, which was rescued from Savers and gifted to me by my bestie. We cleaned it up a bit, but it definitely needs to be restored to a showroom shine. I just got the hose yesterday from another dear friend Charles Richard Lester. Prior to this, I had never used my...
