One more thing if you don't mind me saying.... On your fourth pick which triggered my last memory, the back motor housing which covers half way of the back wheels looks like to me the old fender skirts on the older cars. My folks had several cars that had them. I can remember my dad going with...

Fantastic... Congrats, it looks like it came out of the box. Wasn't there a tag on the bag at the top like the ones before, meaning the Duals 50 and 80. I have had some of those tags that were hung by string on the top of the bag. That is all that seems to be missing from you Classic. I...

Wow....you are lucky to have those... Those are great machines Charles. How old was the wax/cleaner you put on floor?

Oh I remember one more thing... The only slight difference between the 562, S VII, and the Dual 50 was the small diamond shaped peice between the Kirby circles, the Dual 50 was darkened and the others 562 and S VII were clear, they were not painted brown. Now this I had asked my local Kirby...

This is an amazing thread...I love it. In my past, Charles and I have discussed this before stating that the Kirby manuels were not always correct, passing pictures on to the next manuel, so in a way who knows which was right. The really early 562's had a model that had the darker bronzish...

I have talked to the dead... he is still very much alive. This morning hearing about this whole saga, I decided to call and talk to both of them. David told me that when he was told this that he had died, that he laughed his ass off, he thought it was extremely funny. David has a great sense of...

GE I did.. gold...on a GE straight suction. The logo was nearly gone I had to guess on some of it. I did use a gold gel pen on this. Tried it for the first time, it worked but I had to paint it a couple of times before it satisfied me.

Thanks Charles Richard... The Columbus he is speaking of I still have, but I have decided to put in the only Vacuum Museum, in St. James. Because it is sort of rare and unusal. Many years ago at a VCCC convention it one best of straight suction pre-war. So if you would like to see it and many...
