Yeah I have several company refurbished Kirbys, Hoovers, and Electroluxes and I just leave them as they are. It's an important part of history to both show what was going on at the time in repairing old vacuums, as well as how they were doing it. I just treat them as a variation of the original vacuum. I have two Hoover Model 700's and one was rebuilt by Hoover in the 1960's and one is original as it left the factory, so when they are side by side you get a good view at what was done to them by Hoover to refurbish it.
