4 More Restored Kirbys' Added to the fold!

[larryeddy]

Chicago Mike has been helping for months in getting these 4 beauties restored for my collection.
508, 516, 560 & 561
Mike did all the buffing and motor restoration and of course i got 2 of his bags!
I collected parts and did final assembly. (So clearly Mike did like 90% of the work!)

Thanks for looking!
Larry

beautiful

I have a 560 that I need a new bag for. Do you mind sharing your bag source. These are stunning examples of a bi-gone era. Thank You

Thanks Compactone

The bags pictured for the 516 and the 508 are from Chicago Mike. The 2 on the 560 and 561 I made. They are regular (or maybe current is the better word) new black Kirby open top bags. They do not have a zipper in back and are made to empty from the top or the emptor. As for the design its a stock phone that I printed out and used my t shirt heat press to apply. Heat press was like 150 on ebay and the papers are on amazon! Plus its an artistic release for me to make my own t shirts!

Thanks!
