    Kirby 2C Fan Problem

    Or try this If that is not working than you need to put a small screw driver in by the cooling fan to hold the armature from spinning as you turn the fan on. I think there is an opening where you can slide a screw driver by the cooling fan. Please do not turn or force the fan on to hard. Stop...

    Kirby Model 1C

    I am in the vacuum cleaner business and have worked on a lot of Kirbys .  If you need this for your collection it is worth more. As for me and I made an offer, I  would offer about $ 20.00 or $25.00 if the motor is running and you have parts.   Duane

    Kirby Model 1C

    Kirby 1C It is nice to find a kirby 1C, but I would ask questions. When I look at the kirby I can see some rust and it looks like it has been sitting for some time. It is a good chance you will need motor bearings and a good going over.  You will need a cord, and maybe a roller brush.  ...
