    Kirby Color Change before full makeover

    Hmmmm... Ya know Trebor...you've given me something to think about. You may be right about the whole color change thing. It would make more sense for them not to release a color change. I still wish they could just because the Sentria has been the running model for so long, but I can understand...

    Moral question about a Kirby Classic III Rebuild

    Will Yes, I checked everything inside and out. The motor brushes were good but I went ahead and put new ones in anyway since I already had it apart. Bearings were good, it all checked out.

    kirby d80 bearing plate screws frozen

    Well... Well, put the screw driver in the screw and give it a couple taps with a rubber malat, if that doesn't work give it a couple good pops with a regular hammer...that usually works for me. If the hammer doesn't pop it loose then I go to my dad's house and tell him "get this out for me"...
