Found it in a thrift shop today for $4, looked to be in PERFECT shape so I snatched it up! It's green with red stripping, any ideas? I don't have an AirWay, so I guess it can double as a Christmas decoration 

It came in the box of attachments for a Model 561, only it's definitely not the 561 manual! It's entirely black and white, and does not mention what model it's for anywhere. Did they stamp the attachments with KIRBY back then? None of them are stamped either. Any insight is appreciated!

Inspired by Powerglide's thread!    Mine was a real score...a beat up old Hoover Convertible U4047 

Will be needing to ship in the future, is the handle removable and how? Thanks!

THANK YOU!!!! 

Here's those picture I took of (What used to be) that 60s Zenith set I dragged out of the woods! I don't have any pictures of the tubes, they're in a padded box, I'll take a picture of them later for you!    I call this one, "As time progresses"!    Oh, Any guesses as to what that...

I changed my profile picture!    Now, there's good reason behind this. partly as a joke, and partly to defend the might BAGGED vacuum cleaners.   It all started when somebody made their profile picture into this.....

Happy (Delayed) Halloween, everyone!   Although my art skills are terrible, KSSRC rang in the night with this festive pumpkin! 

Hi! I'm clueless as to how to re-wire my Electrolux after refurbishing it (thread to come!), could anyone help me with a wiring diagram of what goes where in the motor compartment? I have 2 blue wires coming from where the handle plugs in,1 red wire and 1 neutral. Any help is appreciated!! 

I caught him in the act, those poor flowers, his poor car!! 

Hey Parwaz, figured this belonged in "Vintage" Since just about every cleaner in the study fits under the category, and I'd better get out of that thread before OliveOilTinfoil gets in a fit about thread hijacking!    Continued from my scraped reply in "Dyson DC41MK2-I must be mad!".....  ...

Since my shag is still on hold from WARDS....I figured I'll post about some recent thrift-shop and flea-market findings! Now, anybody who knows me well knows that i promote and use old technology on a daily basis, such as VHS and Slide-Projectors, these finds will certainly aid me with my...

I picked up an Amway ClearTrak, untested and cordless, from the Flea Market yesterday. Saw it in a pick-up loaded down with cordless vacuums, and asked! Figured it would be good for messy jobs, I know of a store with a ton of ClearTraks for in-home use! Anyhow, $7 went to $5 and we met in the...

Because this sure looks like something you would've came up with! you probably made that costume for her, too, and I'm sure there's a few more copies of it laying around your house! 

Somebody posted a thread like this a while back, I couldn't find it!   I ran across some Eureka pictures I took, but I'm pretty sure I never uploaded them!   Here we go, I forget which model this is but I got it a set of attachments and a Sunbeam MixMaster handheld for $8.00 a while...

Doesn't this pack of "Hoover" bags ring a bell? It's a dead-on duplicate of the 1960s packaging, But since I couldn't find my 60s Hoover bags (If I even have any, I'm loosing track of my trade-mark bag-horde! )!   Oh, and that Attachment Set  came with some not-so-HOOVER goodies! I'll let...

*SCREAM*   So, who here remembers that Sony Reel-to-Reel player I bought a while back? Well, after stopping by one radio-shack, then another, i found the correct capacitor. .1UF metalized film capacitor, 250V. My first time soldering, but i didn't do that bad of a job for a newbie. I bought...
