    New Kirby armature

    yep ! Thanks Ben, I did get the 114967 for my machine. I had to purchase both of these in order to get the one I needed. This is the one I didn't need and didn't know what model it would fit, until now. Thank you very much.

    Unknown hand held vacuum

    Unkown The only reference to where it was made is on the tag showing "Made in the USA". No other names or marks except the technical data shown. That Ausi ad is really cool, I wonder if it is the same company? To bad there isn't a pic. The Wards shield is kind of what I was thinking at first...

    Hinge dilemma

    1968 - 1969 Camero console lid hinge This may work if you pull the hinge pin out and turn over one the the hinge plates. Just looking at your pics reminded me of these "standup" hinges on the old Camero's. Here is a link http://www.summitracing.com/parts/oer-3919071 Of course it is not a...
