Honored ...that I got to see that baby working in the flesh, Charles!  What a wonderful day that was for me...

4C Say what?!  I didn't know there was anything beyond a 3C!  Thanks Charles.  Yes, it is a pity to see such a beauty wasted.  

Eeeek! I am happy to report this has sold and is en route to its new home in Chicago, IL!  Finally!  It is a beautiful unit, I will miss it, however I'm glad it went to a home that *hopefully* loves it and treats it right! [this post was last edited: 12/1/2015-19:03]

Ermergerd yer gers! That is such a beautiful machine.  If I saw that, I'd be in that dumpster in a second!!!

Multi-talented I must agree, I fit the bill also.  I'm great at Kirbys, cleaning, singing, acting, dancing, organizing, managing, calligraphy, listening/counseling, selling, cooking, baking, and opticianry.  If I am "into" something, I get fully into it.  I learn as much as I can, think about...

Cool idea So, if your headlight hood does not stay up and vibrates when being used, you'll know for sure that it's the right piece to get!  

Had the same problem! There are two metal "rods" holding it in place.  Just bend them down and out, and the bag will slip right off.  It takes a bit of muscle to get 'em started, and it feels like you're going to break them off, but that's how it's done.  You can feel them when you feel...

Kirby 508 Woah!  That's one of the next ones on my wish list, in honor of my stepdad's birth year.  The 515 is actually in honor of my Mom's birth year (and also, Disneyland's opening year).  You are so fortunate, beautiful collection but of course, Kirbys have a special place in my heart.

Kirby section! WOW!  What beautiful machines!  It looks like you have a 505 or earlier in that collection!  What models do you have there?  They look stunning, you are so fortunate.  The earliest model I have is a 515 and that was a lucky find.

Looks awesome! Great job on your restoration!  I'm in the middle of restoring a G4, I'd say your restoration job blows mine out of the water.  Great work!

WOW That is super sweet!  Man I'd love to get into one of those!

Oh wait! Hmmm I keep looking at that pic in the link... the more I look at it, the more it doesn't look just right.  It's very similar, but not exactly the same.  It should be one part that flaps like wings and comes together.  This piece looks too round.  Ugh I hope I didn't mess you up!  I...

Caligula That is a very inventive way of connecting a hose to a Kirby!  What model was that?  Looks beautiful!

warcake YUP!  That looks like the right part in reply #18.  Good job!

Mystery plastic piece It looks like the piece from headlight hood mounting area.  This piece is what allows the headlight hood to stay propped up when it is opened.  See Number 8 on this schematic.  If I am correct, you will need a new one, as that should be one piece with two "wings".

I concur with hooverman2121 Yup yup and yup!  Looks like it's in great shape over all.  Cleaning is what we all do, right?     I'm dying to find out what that plastic piece is that fell apart into 3 pieces.  Where abouts in the handle assembly did this fall from?  Just doesn't sound like...

WOW Holy crap!  That looks sensational!  Had some major upheaval here on my end of the world, but hope to be back in baking mode ASAP.  Yup, I'm looking your way...

Do it! I, for one, definitely want to know who here is untrustworthy.

Not bad At least it's an upright.  Would have preferred seeing an Sani-Emptor on its side, but I guess this Eureka/Hoover/Sanitaire design is ok.  LOL

Beautiful find. Congrats! Too bad it's not an original power cord. Super awesome nonetheless. So jealous!!
