Me

Here is what looks like the illegitimate concoction of a Dual 80, a Classic 1CR, a 518 (red push-push switch 500 series) and a scirocco Sanitronic 7

How are the harmonics? I remember the metal flange Ametek conversions for the XXX. they bolted up to the mount holes with little or no insulation so the vibration/ harmonics would make this ear piercing shriek- It had something to do with harmonics/sound or frequency traveling through the metal...

All across the nation, in Vac Shops almost everywhere! It came from the bowels of the basement, deep in the parts room....... Its is..... (50's godzilla music).... Attack of the FrankenKirby monstrosity! I thought of this for entertainment. Do you have pictures to add of the species of...

@ luxlife: "The only thing more offensive is when a seller finds a perfect vacuum ensemble and parts it out with each part as a separate listing. It's like the seller thinks we can't tell that he gutted a machine because he thought that the parts were greater than the sum." I agree... I hate...

Reminds me of the Tradition.

Any Brown Filter Queen cuffs? Or a brown non electric FQ hose? Or Diamond/ armadillo Kirby Omega bags? I am willing to buy, let me know.

They didn’t care for the Classic 3 or they didn’t care for the Traditiom?

Hi Everybody. Does anyone else have issues with clouding when machine buffing? I am so frustrated with my latest project. I have sanded it, wet sanded it, and gone all the way up to 7000 grit, ultra fine. After that I cut it with black emery on a sisal wheel. My cut turns out OK but when I...

The awful liver spots and the sanding lines that I can’t make go away (headlight cap). Headlight cap I buffed out then gave up on until I could figure out my motor problem.

The Kirbys both of them and the very beginning of my restoration.

Hi everyone. I have a question about buffing motors. I am redoing my recently acquired Kirby Classic Omega. I have a parts Kirby from 1975 and my main Omega that was rebuilt by Kirby in the past. The Omega I am redoing was rebult circa 1996 but somewhere along that time some idiot got water...

* that's harmonic sounding "WHOOOOOOOOM" sound a Lamb style motor makes with dirt packed, or bent fan blades

Loud Compact Vacuum..... Depending on what is meant by loud. It could be a couple of things: 1). Dirt in the fan blades that cause it to go out of balance and have a harmonid sounding "WHOOOOOOOOM" when the cleaner is running. 2). Bent fan blades: it takes almost nothing to bend the delicate...

Hi Everyone. Here is an original Headlight Switch Tradition for sale. It looks to be in pretty good condition. it's not mine, I have no connection with it. I saw it and thought I'd pass it along. I sure wish I was closer, I'd get it if I were in driving distance...

Hi Lesinutah, Thank you for replying. Unfortunately those aren’t the bags I’m looking for. The one I need is the diamond pattern shake out. The one I posted in my first pic. It HAS to be the embossed diamond pattern Omega bag- no other bags will do. I appreciate you taking the time and...

Hi Does anyone have a Kirby Classic Omega Diamond/Armadillo bag for sale? I need one for my Omega I’m restoring. It HAS to be diamond / armadillo, like the bag pictured. Also interested in Omega attachments in Rosewood Thank you, Derek.
