Sure hope you get your Kirby Diamond soon David, and yes Kirby's are usually sold with  the attachment kit which comes in what's called the tool caddy which you can hang on a wall or leave stand alone.
 
She also has a canister of some sort, so may not even use the tools, IF she has them. Guessing I could take her shopping for her lightweight bagless she wants and get it very soon. May do that.
 
Well, neighbor called, she is ready to get a new vacuum, would I take her and help her get it home. She countered, you said it was worth $100, can you give me that for it? I don't have enough to replace it if not. I said sure, it looked fine to me, she says she has all the tools, never used. Nice knowing the house it lived in 10 years is clean and no smells. Progress soon I suppose and just in time, the little one above may be wanting " his" Kirby soon. House purchase this month.
 
Well, its home now, 2 hour wiping and cleaning, needs a polish of course, it sat in the garage! Runs like new. NO tools at all, not even a hose! Poop!!! I may have to look for those. I always wanted a Diamond and it cleans well, guess I am just used to the other one, it feels foreign at the moment. It had a torn cord holder by motor, super glued! and paper bag, nope! Sprayed and rinsed hose and outer bag, there was a bit of dog smell. My cat is giving it the evil eye even after that. Brush seems fine, belt too. No dings in the cord, no dents, just some oxidation.Missing a rear hub cap, bet I can find that. May polish soon, when I determine which one I want to keep! One semi glamour shot after cleaning.Dust was falling off of it, hair too.

So my local vacuum guys had a used darker gray hose, $25 ouch and got a 6 pack of the hepa bags, Matt is polishing it now, just having a blast! That would be little guy's dad. Moved in here as roommate in 89.
 
David, Glad to see you finally got your Kirby Diamond. It looks great in the photos. I hope it gives you many years of trouble free service. I have a Sentria and I love it. It's a great Deep Cleaning machine.


 


 
 
Love my Ultimate G Diamond

It really is a nifty machine.  I got mine at a vacuum shop that was closing and relocating stock to Utah.  I   ended up buying the Diamond and got 12 bags, 9 belts, 2 big bottles of shampoo and standard accessories that did not match.  Eventually, I got all the matching accessories for it, except for a Handi-Butler (not even sure if Kirby made a Handi-Butler for the Ultimate G series).  This is probably my most-complete and original Kirby.


 


I haven't used it to vacuum in a while, as I've been running my Heritage II as a daily driver and letting the Diamond get a well-deserved vacation until the Heritage II bag is full.  I do use the Carpet Shampoo System monthly though.  I'm pretty sure my Diamond will be back in vacuum rotation again soon!
 
Great find

You will love the Diamond. 


I have the model older, the UG.  I traded my Tradition for the UG, I know I still kick myself.  I had just had a car wreck and fractured my sternum.  They had me at Tech-drive.
