$125 for rubber trim parts and stickers? Things must cost more in California.

What did the Classic III originally cost? I asked my grandpa what my grandma paid for the Classic III and he said he never did know. He said that she didn't even tell him she got it until she had it about two months and one day he ran across it in the hall closet. He said he asked her when she...

I love all the attachments too. I have all of them for the Classic III: regular hose and attachment kit, shampooer, miracle head, handi-butler group. I had the waxer too, but it probably hadn't been used since the 70's and was kinda gross so I tossed it.

Beautiful Classic Omega! And Classic III. I am a tremendous fan of Kirbys in general, I like them all from the Model C up to the Sentria but the Classic Omega and Classic III are my fav's by far! The Classic III because it's what I grew up with and the Omega because it's just like the Classic...

Question for you Fred... With Kirby upgrading the bag system from the shake out wool bag to the Legend outer bag with paper bag system...did they return the sani emptor to you that originally came with it or did they keep that? I would imagine they probably kept it, but it seems to me they...

Hi Fred Yeah in the past couple years Kirby has started using a lot of black replacement trim and pieces. I would do the rebuild myself...I would trust Kirby too as I love the Kirby Company but with it being my Grandma's Kirby it won't leave my presence long enough to go to Cleveland and back...

Hi Jayson From the photo it looks like the people who have it probably bought it reconditioned from a vacuum shop. When many of the older models would be reconditioned trim parts are available in all sorts of colors so a lot of vacuum repair shops would trim them out in more modern colors. In...

Hello, In 2000 I inherited my grandmother's Kirby Classic III when she passed away unexpectedly. This is the Kirby that I grew up with and loved. As a child whenever I was at my grandparent's house I played with it constantly. When I first got it I used it for about two years but then got a...

Looks great Will! Glad to see you have the owner's manual too. Just yesterday I found an original owners manual in great shape for the Classic III. I was very excited.

Hi, I am new to this forum. I have been rebuilding Kirby's as a hobby for about twelve years and presently I am wanting to rebuild a Kirby Classic Omega as it's been a while since I have refurbished that model. Just wondered if anyone had any good storied about the Kirby Classic Omega to share...
