I could be wrong... Hey guys.....I could be off the mark here but I was once told that earlier Kirby motors were made by Black&Decker. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

TRY.... Do a search for, "replacement wheels with axle and screws.....much comes up! Who cares if it's the original. At least it will have wheels again! Some Aerus dealers will have some replacement wheels so you could try them, too.

This could be due to worn motor brushes, also! Or, the speed control switch.

I can get them through my vendor.

Kirby Diamond Edition and Ultimate Edition These two models, which are also my favorite as all of the Kirby models are, to me have a less refined sounding motor than let's say, the Sentria. I have several of the Ultimate Gs and Diamond Edition in various degrees of condition from excellent to...

Eureka Bicentennial Bag My mom bought a Eureka upright in 1976 which had the bicentennial bag. I am not sure of the model number right now. It may be 2042 but I could be way off. It's brown with the "Rugulator" sliding carpet height adjustment. We still have the machine and it's in decent...

Thanks, Paul! I haven't used it recently since I bought a brand new Bissell CrossWave which I love! I think I fixed it but I wonder if it is warped given the age. Since it doesn't recover water it is more of a pain in the ass than anything else. I use it without the tank when I want to scrub...

Also, when..... When there is a new paper filter bag installed, there is less resistance so the bag may not inflate as much since exhaust air can easily flow through the filter medium. Once the bag accumulates dirt and dust thus clogging the pores, the bag will get harder. Eureka uprights did...

Can you show us how to do it with a syringe? Can you do a demo for us?

How can we How can we get these tips made again?

See an email from me! Hey Mike! I sent you an email.

That's the... That's the right attitude! Mine would look the same as yours, trust me. I don't obsess with it anymore. Over time if you polish it again in a few months I believe those marks will fade. The only way a machine would not tarnish or oxidize would be if you kept it in a temperature...

Here's my two-cents on Kirby Polishing... Like everyone else, I too like my Kirbys to shine like brand-new-out-of-the-box, BUT they all will oxidize over time. The reason why they "tarnish" is because of oxidation which is a naturally occurring process. I tend to want to believe that Kirby only...

Hey Guys! Looking for a decent used Filter Queen Majestic Crown 95X electric hose, wand, and power nozzle to complete a perfect machine.

I would be a lying sack of....... ...if I said I had a favorite! They are all my favorites! But I am slightly partial to the Tradition because of the blue color scheme and the hounds tooth cloth outer bag pattern. I don't care what they say about the short comings of the Tradition. I still...

What I have done is to take a Bounty or any other paper towel and fold it into a 1-inch strip the width of the bag top and insert it in between. Then put the bag clamp back on. You have to adjust the amount of folds to allow for the clamp to slide easily on. You can also use a piece of felt to...

One more thing... Kyle, What is the model of the hand polisher? I see that it is a Milwaukee. Where did you purchase it? What are the attachments you use with it? Thanks!

Thanks so much, Kyle Kyle, Thanks so much for the pics and the explanation! This would be cool to see in person! I am always concerned about sanding because I am afraid that you might be sanding too much metal away thus compromising what metal is left. Not sure about this though. Has anyone...

Hey Kyle Can you tell us how you get that shine? What is your method? Are yo using a polishing wheel?

Yes, this makes no sense! This is what is perplexing! There is also a small hole a little smaller than a dime inside the headlight visor area opposite the headlight bulb. There is suction in this hole-again, this makes no sense to me, though I am not the engineer who designed this machine. I am...
