Glad it's not unique! Thank you everyone, that helps. I think I'll just bundle it in with the recycling, since it's not particularly useful to me broken or otherwise. Now I just have to source a replacement nozzle for the Royal!

Howdy vacuum friends! Had a question about this nozzle, it came with the recent purchase of a Royal Power Tank. I know it's not original, the color is all wrong and it doesn't really attach to the Royal in any good way. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me the kind of machine it...

Howdy again friendliest of vacuum people! I didn't want to leave out the people looking for a Generation-era Kirby, here's a few listings on ShopGoodwill for the newer-style Kirbys: One Gsix 2000 One Ultimate G Diamond Edition One Sentria And one 2017 Avalir Good hunting...

Howdy friendly vacuum people! Thought there might be someone interested in some pre-generation Kirby's for sale over at ShopGoodwill! There's quite a selection: Two Classic Omegas One Classic III One Heritage Two Heritage II Turbos And one Legend II They're all in relatively good shape, I...

Howdy again vacuum friends! Got a couple of metal Royal uprights ready for new homes, one Anniversary Edition model 89103 out in Orange County, CA, and one "Commercial Quality" in southern AZ. Both have a red cloth bag with no fading and look excellent from a quick glance, and the Anniversary...

Howdy vacuum friends! Looks like a second chance on the Kirby 508 I posted about before, it's back up and ready for a new home! From the listing: "Upon quick visual inspection it was noted that there is soiling present possibly for normal use and/or storage. There are markings and scratches...

And then it was done. Now, the auctions have closed. I don't think anyone picked up that 508, so it'll probably get posted again. I'll link it any any other interesting machines I find if they pop up again! @gmarquez, I remember seeing your post! That's awesome that you got it, I'm glad it's...

Absolutely! @human, I can definitely post pictures of my setup! Once I get home, I'll take a few and post them. It's fairly simple, I use two zip ties to secure the fill tube around the F&G nozzle, one at the top of the nozzle and one at the bottom to minimize leakage and to make sure there's a...

Convert to Kirby bags! I used to use F&G bags on my Eurekas, but I converted all my machines to use the Kirby bag system after I got tired of fiddling with the spring and having that little bit of dirt stuck in the tube come out. It's not a bad system, but I'd prefer to not have any spillage at...

Came across these two beauties on ShopGoodwill.com, they seem to be in decent shape with the cloth bags and everything. I'd try and get them, but I've got my hands full with my own Kirby projects right now. Anyone interested in a 508 or a 512? The 512's in Southern California with Pickup Only...

Royal bags If you want to stick with Royal bags, and the Type B bags aren't working, you can use the Type A bags instead. Or if you don't mind using from a different manufacturer, Eureka type F&G bags are virtually identical to the disposable paper Royal bags, and have the paper tube to connect...

More info Ah, sorry! Should have been more specific, I forgot to put in my last message that it's on the brushroll page where it stops working. Is anyone able to pull up any of the products?

CWP Website question Anyone else having issues accessing CWP's website? I tried getting on there to look up their products and such, but it doesn't seem to be working right for me. Maybe I'm not using the right browser or it's the wrong site or something! http://www.cwptechnologies.com/index.php

Wonderful machines! Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my progress on these Omegas, I picked up two of them from Rob. So far, I've only been able to do a little bit of work on them, but they're turning out to be really great machines! Here's a few pictures of the process so far. I haven't...

Kirby and Eureka? Jimmy, I was curious if there were any green, maroon, or dark red Kirbys left? I'm a new vacuum guy and I'm not super good on model numbers just yet - but I know what I like! I saw the DS80 - I believe? - in one of your pics and I didn't know Kirby did any colors besides blue...
