Looks great!The The Heritage 11 Legend is only model left on my vacuum bucket list. I recall when a friend bought hers brand new how impressed I was. It just seemed more refined than earlier Kirby's.Quieter and now with disposable inner bags! I have an orphaned blue Tradition bag in great...

Nice ! Looks like it's picking up alot! Is it very loud?

Nice Ray! That was a good move switching out the power cord and plug to 3-prong. Does this model have provisions to switch between large and small bowls? Also, if you don't have the specific bowls for this mixer can you use from models like G or H which are a little easier to come by I believe?

#7575 You did a lot of work on your Ultra! It must run like new. A friend has a 1992 Ultra model 7545AT that looks similar to yours, though with brown bag and trim.His mom bought it new and the price was 169.95. Still going strong,and while he doesn't collect he keeps it in good shape. Says...

John, Have you done the staircase for the holidaze? Asking for a friend,lol.

Victor, It's good to see you posting again, it's been a while. Looks like your collection has expanded since we last talked about our Hoover Foldaways. I think you had 6 total machines back then. Complete at 25,good for you. Thanks for adding to our collective knowledge bank with your scans...

Differences... To me it looks like the handle on the right is a little higher than the one on left. Darker gray handle and a little slimmer also. How'd I do? Both stunning by the way.

Carpets at school? Naaah...The only floor with carpet was the teachers lounge,which had everything including a rumored bar, but you didn't hear that from me! This was K-6. I'm glad because all the classrooms,halls and cafeteria had shiny vinyl-asbestos heated flooring and we were allowed to...

Hey Barry Yes I was speaking about their physical size. If time allows I'll peruse the archives for a couple threads posted from members with great photos of their broom vacs plus similar models. I'll let you know when I locate them!

David, Beautiful 508! I was just thinking about how fun it would have been to be a collector and in a club with others back when Jim Kirby was alive and still designing Kirby's. I don't know how accessible he'd of been but I can imagine some of the questions,comments and suggestions he'd...

Hi Barry I've got three of those and in three different sizes. Crazy! Even the largest is smaller than the regular full size D.D.Deluxe being sold at the same time. Royal was pumping a lot of these out in the early to mid-nineties. How many amps is yours rated at? I have one apart with the...

link Paul's link took me right to #34264 and scrolling down that page are a few reply's from bikeray. Search at e bay for bulk horsehair. Apparently plyobond is a glue used.Hope you get the info you need,Jim. Looks really good!

Archives Jim, I'm sorry I don't have a link or a thread number I just remember seeing the photo of a nozzle to an antique vacuum that he owned. I've never gone to wherever the old threads are kept, but if you can tell me how to get there I would gladly try to find that post from bikeray for...

Re-bristling Hey Jim, Nice work as usual,no surprise. If you have any questions on re-bristling the nozzle, you might check with bikeray. He's posted pics of some he's done and they're quite nice! I see the bump out on the back of the motor shell so did yours turn out to be a bearing type model?

Paul That's a great little vacuum cleaner, and for 5 bucks...come on. My friend was going to pitch his model #5071 because the motor was acting erratic. I adopted the cleaner and took it to my guy in town. Just needed a new set of carbons.He said whoever owned this machine probably used it in...

Late to this Couldn't you measure the capacity of the can to your wet/vac by using a bucket of water that has gal. measurements on the side. You wouldn't have to fill the whole can, just keep track of how many measured buckets of water it took to fill your wet/vac can to say 1/4 or 1/2 full...

Paul When you flip this machine over it looks like it's only been used once! Nice piece of history for the collection. Interesting.

Wow Beautiful restoration! This model with the newer nozzle with it's crisper lines and the trim in black gives me Heritage II vibes. Excellent work.

No lies detected He's right on the money. I'm working on my Shark Steam Mop which is held together with two different sized security screws. I know more fun awaits once I get it opened. I hope someone does start a class action suit against Shark. Their business model sucks on many levels.

Bumped Hopefully somebody can answer your question regarding the original bag to the commercial Eureka, curious myself.
