    Kirby Dual Sanitronic Help!

    Thanks, guys. That helps clear it up. Not quite sure where the problem was but the wiring was correct, but I took everything apart, greased bearings, cleaned inside (was very dirty) and put it back together. Runs perfect now. I couldn't get the front bearing out though. I'm guessing it is...

    Kirby Dual Sanitronic Help!

    Hi All, I was using my dual sanitronic 50 a few weeks ago and the speed switch cracked and the vacuum went into a lower speed and started to smoke. I got a new switch, installed it, and when the power nozzle is on, it works fine on a higher speed. Well, I went to attach the hose, and it...

    Kirby Dual Sanitronic Speed Switch

    Hi All, I was using my Dual Sanitronic this morning and when I attached the hose, the button on the speed switch cracked off, the vacuum reduced speed, and started to smoke. I assume that is because the switch is malfunctioning now that it's broken, so I ordered a new one. What is entailed in...

    Great find Kirby Dual Sanitronic!

    All polished and cleaned... All cleaned and polished. Washed the bag in my front load washer on "hand wash" and it smells awesome and works good as new.

    Hoover goodwill find

    all the tools we have now, we cant produce anything of this Isn't this the truth! I love all of the vintage appliance and vacuum finds and enjoy using them more than new "stuff" I have. How can our country have "pride" when we get so much junk from China. Unreal!

    Great find Kirby Dual Sanitronic!

    I found this today on craigslist. It has all of the attachments, instuctions, and accessories. It literally looks like none of it has been used. The bag doesn't seem to be original nor does the cord, but that's OK. I was shocked it was in such great condition and runs like a charm. Going to...

    The Finest HOOVER Cleaner Ever Built It is built well and has a lot of power. I love the whole look of the machine and was shocked what great shape it was in. I am lucky to have found it for such a crazy low price. Didn't think twice about grabbing it up. Thanks for the info!

    Hoover goodwill find

    Provided that you have the clip I do have the clip. It had an old bag on it with some dust in it. Just had that antique smell haha. What year did they produce those? I'm not too familiar with hoovers, but this one is surely cool. Thanks!

    Kirby Sanitronic Motor Brushes

    Hi All, Does anyone know where I can get correct motor brushes for my Sanitronic? It is not the dual sanitronic. I think the company I ordered brushes from sent me ones for a dual. Thanks!

    Kirby Sanitronic Renovator Question

    Hi Will and Ben, That's as I suspected. I'll have to look to pickup a Dual Sanitronic. There is a complete one on craigslist for $100. I'm offering $75, as it needs a good buffing, but even for a complete model with all accessories, I don't think 100 is even that bad. Thanks!
