I have never seen such a terrible "Repair" on a Kirby

[mchmike]

I lived through the Great Depression, it ended after a few cocktails and some good sex.

It's a .....

chrome, tail piece section(plumbing), the top part. The bottom piece is part of a chrome P-trap sawed off, ...probably 1 1/2" both by the look of it, but I have no frame of reference to go by.

I agree! For a non-collector that is a functional (if rather rough) repair. It is easy to forget that for most people, a vacuum cleaner (of whatever make/model) is simply a tool to be used. Presumably this repair kept the machine in use (and out of landfill) for long enough to be found by a collector, which we (I hope) must all applaud.

All best

Every decision has a consequence.
