Kirby D-50, D-80 and Classic I. Love the perfomance and sound of teh Sanitronics, and love the feel and growl of the Classic. It's such a beast. It's so ugly it's cool to look at.

bagged - sort of... I'm always amazed at how much dirt i empty out of my Sanitronic or Classic Kirby's with the cloth shake out bag. I will start with an empty bag and it never fails, I'm always emptying a large klump of glop. They may be dust belchers, but they still impress me! Even at moms...

K-Classic The Classic has always been one of my top favorite Kirby's. They are so ugly and beastly that they are facinating and scary looking at the same time. I love my classic. I would say for the conditon of that original bag alone, $40.00 to $50.00 would be worth it to me! The after market...

pics alot of sellers recycle pics if they have more than one unit to sell. I would pay and wait for your new machine to arrive!

hoses The Sanitronic is actually a single speed motor whereas the Dual Sanitronic 50 and 80 are dual speed motors with two seperate safety switches. Of course I have never tried a reagular sanitronic styled hose on a Dual Sanitronic to see of it would work, not a bad suggestion! Does anybody...

anyone know where I can locate a decent hose for a Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50 or 80? I'll pay! I don't see them pop up on ebay too often and I can never tell if the tan ones are for just the Sanitronic or the Dual Sanitronic as the sellers don't really specifically indicate. I'd appreciate it...

Micron Magic I use them in my Heritage II, Legend II and Generation 3. I love them. My machines don't get so dusty after use.

cloth fill tube my parents bought their Heritage brand new from a Kirby In Home Sales rep back in 81. I remember the day very vividly. The fill tube on that brand new machine was cloth as well. My grandmother bought the exact same model a few months later after trying out moms and loving it. I...

Advice For those of you interested in the rebuild, the way I had to do it, was completely through my grandparents. Since they were the original owners of the machine and we found the warranty page in the booklet, the mailing address and name I used was granny's. They sent her the paperwork...

Not sure It almost acts as if maybe it's lubricated a little too much, or something. My Heritage does it as well and it has never been rebuilt. Maybe the little gears wear down over time or something. If I step on them just the right way, then they can be adjusted one notch at a time, but it I...

Rebuild I sent my grandmothers D-80 in for a factory rebuild in Feb of 08. It came back factory fresh and showroom new. All trim matched. The only issues I had were that the top part of the handle was an aftermarket replacement with the bag and cord hanger off to the side like the Classic III...

smaller head I bought a smaller head from ebay for my Heritage II. I was slightly disappointed in that , while yes, the mold was designed for the safety switch of the Heritage II, the top of the nozzle edges still kind of slant up (where the headlight rests) and isn't flat like the original...

stunning! That is one glistening beauty! Congrats on the legendary find! Cory

OMG!!! Looks fantastic!!!!

Norm... I sent my D-80 back to Kirby for a rebuild and it came back show room new, You will love it! All the original colors were kept intact!. The only thing I wasn't to pleased about was the handle. They replaced the top plastic part with a handle that has the bag hook on the side like the...

I'd say... that's a GREAT find!

Gotta love those elder Kirby's They look just like shiney new Caddy's when all shined up. Those huge bags just set them off... My newest is a G3. That is as new as I will go as far as the Generation series are concerned. Gave the G5 to mom and dad. It just seemed to me that it wasn't built...

switch whats with the black switch on top of the bag? Or are my eyes decieving me?

just happened to log onto ebay yesterday when I got home from work, typed in "Kirby Vacuum" then sorted by newest items first, and low and behold... there it was, a new listing with a buy it now price of $20.00 - complete with brushroll. Just needs a little bit of Mothers and elbow grease and...
