Hey
I finally found a green extension wand on eBay. They had 2 available I bought both.
I will soon have entire d80 collection completed.

good to hear,

I had one for you but I need it for my Sanitronic VII collection. I was searching around for the correct one for that set before I told you I"d sell/trade ya for this green one. oh well, good for you!
 
No

Kirby needs is out. Someone was selling d80 with all attachments and it didn't sell. He listed attachments seperaytely and I noticed and bought them.
I have a sanitronic 7 set of attachments. I don't think it's complete. I have a cr1 classic with complete set.
I have been looking for quite a while for one. It completes my set. Thanks to everyone I can now stop posting asking for them.
Kelton I have a royal backpack vacuum ry9001 I believe. Idk thanks

Finally got them today.
I only have 508 bag, red black royal belt cap and green janitronic left on items on bucket list. I'm sure I'll get all items.
Thanks

I also put cr1 motor in 560 motor housing using 4amp coil. It worked but it was pulling more than 4 amps so I shut it down before anything ruined. It was pulling maybe 110-120cfm through hose.
I'm going to use d50-d80 motor and coil in 560 as cr1 isn't motor I intend to use. I intend to use tradition motor but motor and coil will not fit in motor housing.
I'm trying to make a vacuum comparable in power to d80 and heritage 2 13 seeing which is most powerful.
I may do it tommorow I'll see. Polishing sentrias and g6s isn't super fun. I love d80 and it's fun to work on so I'm going to have fun and get it done. It may not be polish beautifully but bearings power and everything will be new in d80 and top shape in the vacuums.

Speaking of Straight Extension Tubes...

I am still on the hunt for a blue one for my 1979 Kirby Tradition's attachment set, along with a blue shoulder strap. These are the only two items I still need to complete my basic attachment set.

Hmm

I may have or may not have shoulder strap and extension tube. I'll check tommorow.
I noticed alot of 1979 traditions with nozzle lock where lock has been switched. Very rare the lock nozzle you have.

Les,

You are absolutely right that my Tradition is one of those that originally had the speed switch mounted inside of the headlight cap, hence the lock button on the outside.

I wish you luck finding what I want!

Do you have the swiveling tube? it is what goes in between those two posts. If you need one, I have a spare strap and swiveling tube.

Negative

I bought a aftermarket attachment they sure look black but there dark blue I guess they forgot to spray paint them. If I get attachment set those 2 items I'll send you. I have alot of rug rennovators I bet 10-15. I'm going to be selling quite a few. Just fyi I really like royals type a bags much better than f&g. They seem to not big machine down.i really like my 3 amp 2976 royal too. It's quiet and it does a good job. Les
