    Over priced?

    Wow Kirbys New bags like the black open top and closed top bags and classic 3 bags are around $200. You can buy a fully restored kirby usually under $200.

    Odd little bugger....

    1 I attached a link. It's likely 1940s era. They usually have a bag the same color as the color they're painted. Yours would've had either a dark maroon bag or a blue bag. I have a red vac just like it but not sure it's a Westinghouse. I think mines a sweeper vac iirc made indirectly by...

    Oreck XL headlight bulbs

    The Bulbs oreck uses is the same as kirby 505-1cr. Eureka uprights use for 30 plus years to current date. The royal vacuum used the same bulb. I want to say sylvania 1156. I had an oreck xl commercial in yellow look just like yours and it took the bulb I mentioned.

    MY NEW VINTAGE KIRBY WEBSITE!

    Was It released by kirby painted? The kirby company providing info on pre G3 models is utterly impossible. I'll go to your website again. To be blunt is it authentic because plastic mini emtors took over h2l1. Thanks in advance.

    the Blue 🔵 Compact Electra is back.

    No Problem. I love the VAC hepa bags but I couldn't find any at a reasonable price. The red and silver is rare 2 speed. The silver 2 speeds were called silver bullets. Atleast a guy who sold them told me this. He also said that if he gave a demonstration it was an easy sale because they...

    Kirby Model 4C

    You Think it could be NOS non original. You better ask David if the OD of the belt caps ever changed since his opinion fits what you want to hear. Just because the man speaks it's not gospel. His opinion is opinion not facts. Assuming u already know. If Jim's theory or opinion doesn't fit...

    Kirby Model 4C

    Umm I love how photos are rotated and reordered I attached front and back of my 505 original belt cap, NOS belt cap and 505 belt lifters. I'll let you use your imagination. Yours should look like my used 505 belt cap. My 505 should be from late 1945 but I've not opened up the machine and...
