A whole Fourm Activity - The Dyson of its day!

[Jakesvacs]

Hey, how is everyone one? Thanks for taking your time to read this!
Going back to an old post about a kirby box i found my nans loft, well today i had the chance to search for something...
I thought it was the actual Kirby box but it turned out to be the rug renovator, i was slightly dissapointed to say the least. I thought again and knowing my nan would not just keep the rug renovator without the kirby. Moving a couple box's appeared the Classic 3! Its not in the best of condition and missing a good few parts, so i thought of a fourm activity to help me find,complete and fix it up. I need any information or any help anyone can offer!
Here are some pictures as a before to this long term restoration.

Yes, a metal fan!

Looks like she needs a bit of work... And a front end!!

But it is doable, and I'd love to see what she turns out like after renovation.

Hi J...

Hi Jake. Where is the rest of the kirby??I think your going to have to go back in to the loft/attic and look for the main head, Bag and emp-tor.
It will save you quite a bit of money if you can find them.

The front and is missing I think.

The rest of the parts could not be found at all so I need the powerhead! Sorted out the bag with the other james. Lol.
How's the move and what's the new shop like, need a catch up!

[Jakesvacs]

Does anyone have a classic 3 thats a non worker or have any parts atll, really need a bag rim, powerhead and switch trim. Will pay of course!

 

[Jakesvacs]

im wondering if i could send it in for a rebuild? Dont think it has ever had one, my nans the original owner so could it be done?

It should be possible if you have the original instruction book with the information in it.  Remember though any missing parts you will be charged extra for.  I believe they still have some left as I had that model done a year ago and it came back beautiful.
