side note Quick question, does anyone have a spare factory original Kirby 508 headlight hood trim. They were identical to ones off of a 505 but colored gray instead of black. I can easily spray paint it black and do a very nice paint job. If you look at my other post, at my photos, you will...

good news Hi again. Some extremely good news happened for me personally. A blessing. well, I was able to get tom Stephine's email and we amazingly started to become distant friends. He said he had a spare Kirby 1C or 2C handle, a complete handle with the top angled piece and wooden grip. I was...

side note Hey, Jim The VacMadMan, are you still interested into giving me your spare parts, I'll be perfectly fine with only getting the trim from you, headlight hood trim and bumper for now. I do not need to worry about the handle or wheels for now, since it may likely be taken care of in the...

question Does anyone have spare factory original Kirby 505 parts like the black headlight hood trim and black bumper. I'm interested into getting it for my Kirby 2C, it badly need it. It has a bumper, but it's from a Kirby 508 or even a 509-515 model, since it's gray, could always spray paint...

note I'm sorry about my wrongdoing of repeating myself in messages, I'm sorry for being impatient and rude to everyone and Tom, with my constant messages. I will instead wait it out until he returns from vacation. I sincerely apologize to everyone. Sorry form my inconvenience and bad attitude...

reply Thank you huskyvacs, I appreciate it. I have a 1923 GE upright vacuum that I restored a few weeks ago. All original and accurate looking. But after all that elbow grease and sweat, it took me more than half a year to fully repair, restore it and get all the replacement, original parts for...

an apology Sorry about that. I didn't mean to sound rude or be disrespectful and just hope everything is okay. I'm just worried that things may not work out as I had thought they would be. In the mean time I'll try to make myself a wooden handle from scratch. Lesinutah gave me specific...

reply I also have the original box of a full set of attachments for my Kirby 2C. Pictures will come soon. From Liam

note Hello again, Does anyone have an idea where to find old vintage Kirby vacuum parts, as far as used vacuum cleaner repair, parts stores. I live in Frederick, MD. I want to know what vacuum cleaner stores, repair shops have vintage or antique vacuum cleaner parts, like for old Kirby's pre...

note It's working, Thomas is about to post the item for sale on eBay for my Kirby 2C. He is making a deal with me. How exciting. Liam

reply Do any of you have an estimate of when Thomas the Kirby collector should return, Lesinutah said he was on vacation. I don't know how long he'll be on vacation and or when he will return for me. From Liam

note The newer handle was the one it came with but I had an original handle fork for the 2C. I tried to fit the fork with the newer handle but the tube didn't fit. Besides, the handle I have besides the original fork is not a proper handle. Tom Stepien has a potential sale for me, for an...

note I tried it with a newer replacement metal handle shaft, from a 505-515, but it does not fit into the original handle fork, which is all I have. I hope to get a proper wooden shaft with the angled top and wooden handle grip soon, for my 2C. Liam

note Hello again, the VacMadMan. Is Thomas the Kirby Collector available for me. I would really love to talk to him about a highly likely chance of getting a 2C handle. He says he has one but needs to post it on eBay or maybe if not try something else with me, that's just if. He said he'll...

reply To Lesinutah, I sent you another message via your email. It has been sent to you. If you have time to look please send me one some time soon. Another question, I heard you have parts, do you actually have original parts for a Kirby 2C like the trim, cord and handle for a 2C. You say you...

note To the Kirby Collector, Tom Stephine, What handle do you have available, is it from a 1C or 2C or is it from the Fetzer machine. A spare Handle from any of those machines will work for my 2C, which is in severe need of a proper handle shaft and top with the wooden handle grip. Whatever...
