Here's One Of My Favorite

Commercial Kirbys. Found brand new in Wisconsin. A ComVac. Now in the possession of Greg Nunn. Clearly a 500 series body with Heritage II bag. What a great machine.

wow that is totally different that the comvac 1600 but all the same color.

I love that Com Vac - great cleaner and quiet about it too!

that comvac is a beautiful machine I thought that there were other machines that Kirby Made that had a really wide nozzle, and that was attached to the machine permenantly. I think it was called the lincoln or something to that effect as it was Red, white and Blue

"Kirby Hybrids"...

Lincoln Janitronic, Super Sweep, ComVac are the only ones that come to mind for me.

Dident the super sweep have a white bag?

I remember seeing one on ebay(U.S.) years ago and it having a white bag. I was mesmorised by it, paticularily the painted aliminium bodie wich I had never seen before!

Yes, originally it did. I have the identical machine with the correct white perforated vinyl bag. Inside, is a cloth dump bag. They never had Sani-Emtors. I too remember seeing it in a red, white & blue version. Could that have been a bicentennial version for '76? A few months after 09/11 Oreck manufactured a 2-speed upright XL-2800 done in red, white and blue with a matching navy blue compact canister.
