Hi there, this response is a bit late but I hope it's of some use to you!
The first one is an NV200 from the 1980s, though it looks like it's been refurbished fairly recently, as the handle, red base and hose are all replacements.

Up for sale is my Kirby Classic III. Here's a link to the eBay auction: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/271968491267?

Alex, that's cool! I listen mainly to 33s, although most of my singles are 12" rather than 7", but obviously still play at 45RPM
What kind of music are you into?
Joe
Have you never seen an LP before Alex? I'd expect you to have plenty of them!
There is nothing better than the sound of vinyl through a nice set of speakers.
Sorry Super-sweeper, I see what you mean now. Thanks for clearing that up
Benny, I wasn't "hunting" for something to get offended at, I just mis-read Super-sweeper's post, I didn't mean to upset anyone, and if I did, my apologies.

Super-sweeper, do you have a phobia of Facebook or something? It's fine being old...
