Is there such commercial Kirby called a Janitronic?

There's nothing to forgive, David! 

 


I unfortunately do not have a paper copy of the ComVac pamphlet! Lucky you!

My Comvac 1600 does not have an emptor.The bag fill tube connects right to the fancase discharge.The bag can be used as a dump bag or use paper ones.

I would like to think the COMVAC's failure to put a dent in the commercial market was because one model had the older architecture (the 13" wide CV1300) and the other had newer architecture (the 16" wide CV1600), despite certain parts being shared across both vacs.

It can be confusing somewhat if one company bought both models.

David it's nothing but incorrect information, you don't need to send flowers and an apology card! 

 


 


EVERYBODY gets something wrong once in a while,I know I've had my share of realizing I was wrong about information I had given. But now both you and I know better, and we can educate vacuumland with our now-correct information!

I discovered a package of bags designed to fit American-Lincoln Sweepmasters and Kirby Janitronics @ https://vacpartsplusstore.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14684. I would presume that the bags would also fit the later Super Sweeps, SuperVACs, and ComVACs.

I'm curious to know if a Sweepmaster was similar in style and design to the Janitronic?

Here is an interesting historical overview of Clarke, who purchased American-Lincoln in the 1980s:
