Hello Kyle is no longer making bags. Thank you for thinking of me, however! Best of luck. Those bags are out there! Patience is key.

I'm nearly positive that is from like 2001ish and it's the a Black & Decker stick vacuum that has a detachable dust buster in it.

With the current cost of any capital investments, not sure why they would do anything at the moment. Anniversary or not, it makes no sense for companies to make any “major” changes. It’s why you see a lot of companies rehashing old products as new again.

Fun comparison. I finished a Model 28 yesterday, and put it next to the 305. Beautiful machines.

Re: 63 Oh man... over the last several years, I've done a ton of Model 63 and 64 Restorations. Here's some photos of various model 63s I've done.

Late-ish run Hoover Model 305 Restoration. I love this cleaner. The colors are so well done, and masculine. I love when the early run of Hoover used the color red; it was seldomly done. Fun rebuild! The machine was a bit rough when it first came to me. The collector I purchased it from bought...

Hi Alex! Thanks so much for your kind words on the Kirby :) Re tools and washing. If something is really gritty or bad, im not opposed to breaking out a plastic tub of a few inches of warm water with some dawn. That is usually for things that need to soak off (so not aluminum lol) or if...

Glam shots Had to acquire many, many pieces for this restoration. All in, this restoration was more like a fabrication. I had to do many things, including tapping new holes for completely shredded motor housing threads. Sad, but the machine has been saved... and it even sounds good when all...

Here are the after photos! Working on compiling the progress photos. Enjoy :) This one was a labor of love (with a few curse words here and there)

I just did one that I’m putting up for grabs. This one has absolutely everything with it, too. Brought it back to factory new.

This has easily been my favorite Kirby restoration in a bit! I had the fortune of coming into NOS Red trim, NOS Grey wheels, and a brand new 10 blade metal fan. She purrs like new! :)

Alex- Not specifically a 512… but that style model, yes. Many. I have a 513 restoration coming up that I’ll be posting here :)

Yes That housing will fit your machine.  Feel free to reach out if you ever want someone to make it gorgeous!   [email protected]

Hi all Mark was one of my regulars who came around every time he needed something restored. He has passed away in early Spring.

Hi Andrew! I made this bag and did all of the mock up and logos in photoshop. They’re then printed in vinyl, which essentially melts onto the bag with iron on adhesive. Fantastic for recreation of vintage bags!

Wrapping up

This machine is so gorgeous, and hasn’t had a thread on here in a bit. Here is the one I’m currently working on. What a beauty! Finished photos will follow in a few days :)
