On eBay, there is a 1983 Kirby COMVAC CV1300. Unfortunately, among other things, it is missing the black foot switch button.

It's listed on mecari too.
I emailed him telling him a NIB Comvac 1300 sold for $580 about 3 years ago.
It could've been $620 but Chris hicks was the one selling it.
This one is beat up. The American Lincoln is bought totally refurbished in got for under $200.
I got the red white blue AL for $120.
I'd say this maybe 120 because that bag doesn't look original.

That bag is original. At least it has the belt cover. I remember a member on here selling Comvac 1300s that were new in the box for less than what this seller is offering.

Did the ComVac ever come with attachments or was it strictly for floor commercial use?

I think from my understanding they were only designed for floor use. And I think they were only made for one year. But I can't remember if the nozzles were designed to come off easily or stay on like a Royal.

Nozzles are not meant to come off. It's strictly a F&G setup beater bar commercial vacuum.
There was no hose for any of kirbys commercial vacuums. The field coils are single speed.
E5 amp single speed F&G setup belt caps and belts installed with flat heads.
