Charles,

I still think you could've gotten it. You can still get the right bag assembly from elsewhere if you look hard enough.

That's what I did when I acquired my 1972 Kirby Classic 1CR. I didn't give it up because of the disposable bag system (picture #1), I persevered until I was able to get all the pieces necessary to rebuild its original Sani Emtor setup (pictures 3-6).

I've had other Classic III Kirbys come and go over the years. It's not a machine I have all that much interest in.
