Free Kirby Classic Omega

[briankirbyclass]

Have a Kirby Classic Omega 1CB, either late 1972, or early 73,,has the Classic 1CR speed selector on the front, and im pretty sure it was never changed, rebuilt or replaced, fairly certain it came that way from the factory. Motor sounds good and solid, has a good 4 row brushroll, needs new belt, and bag. Or at least old bag taken off and washed. Does have the hose and a few attachments in good condition,, Rug Renovator NIB, never used.
Machine needs cleaned up and polished for sure. IS NOT beat up, or badly scuffed up.
Fan looks original, not missing any blades, but has the usual nicks. Cord and handle are fine. Serial number is torn off on the bottom Name tag, so cant tell exact serial number.
Belonged to elderly lady, so was never abused, just got to heavy for her.
Free if anyone wants to pay shipping, E-mail me if interested.

Brian, Do you have any idea what it might cost to ship to New York, I would love to have an Omega!

 

[briankirbyclass]

Im guessing 20-30 dollars. I sent a DS50 in for a Factory Rebuild last year, to Cleveland OH,,and it was about 20 dollars for the shipping one way. I dont think it would be more than 40 dollars to NY.

Hi Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Postage to the UK from the USA will be in the $170ish area depending what it comes with etc from past experiance.

But Kirby classic Omegas were sold in the UK. Just not that many around as Kirby had only just set up properly in the UK.

Hope this helps you.

US/UK shipping rates can vary a lot; I have 4 American cleaners in my collection.

The cheapest, Hoover Model 300, cost me $9 for the cleaner and $30 for shipping. $39 at the time came to (very roughly!) £20 in total, which is pretty reasonable!
