Amazing Kirby 512 shop find !

[hygiene903]

Eventually I found a set of attachments for it. Like new with a hose with as much suction at the handle as at the machine end, although the caddy is dinged up a bit. Also have the sprayer and polisher.

Fantastic restoration job! That looked like a whole lot of work, but well worth the effort . When you have one come across like that - you really have seen the elephant, but it makes it all the sweeter. Well done! Thanks, for the compliment on the 512. Good job on finding the attachments, no small task. Calem

Hi

Hi Calem, Sorry for the late reply.

When it comes to the bag on your Vacuette Electric it's possible it's a replacement.
But whether it's genuine or not I can't say as there were copy replacement bags around at the time.

I have two copy replacement bags from around that time which wasn't made by Kirby for the models that used a emp-tor ....

Thanks, for the photo! Now that's unusual, and I'd image those two bags, even being knock-offs are still a couple hundred a piece - no doubt. Even still, very nice. Thanks again, Calem
