Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 Thrift Shop Find

[vintagevaclover]

I found this today going around to a few thrift shops, it's a little dirty but it runs very nicely! Unfortunately the original bag is gone but those are to hard to find. The brushroll is a pretty worn too. I might be offering this one up for sale or trade, i like to think I "rescued" it lol. It could look very nice with the right bag and all buffed out!

The Green Bags for the D80 are still available from Kirby Part # 190067
The brush roll is also still available from Kirby Part # 1525
If it needs a belt that's Part # 159056G for a three pack
It looks like it might be missing the lower cord hook if it is, that's Part # 173867S

The nice thing is the upper and lower cord hooks are the same.

I currently have two of them, one cost me $12 the other was given to me by a local Kirby Dealer.

Looks Good, and I see the lower cord hook is there.

By the way the headlight trim is still available if you need that it's part # 161967A for a 2 pack.

Hey austin

Did you decide if you were gonna keep it. A lot of people didn't like the puke green. It's one of my all time favorites.

we had that machine forever! My stepfather brought it in with him.

Thanks So Much, All Of You

I'm really leaning towards keeping this one after seeing how nice it looks cleaned up. It really could use a new headlight trim piece (as long as it's green) yes I love the green lol. Aside from that, it really just needs a new brushroll & green bag w/ the original rubber bag topper that says "Dual Sanitronic 80". After these things have been done and I work a bit more on buffing, it'll be good as new! I could also go for some attachments lol

For brush rolls, you could also use part #500505, which is the double-bristle brush roll used on the Heritage, Heritage II/Legend and Legend II 13" nozzles.

You have the original bag top, it was just plain and didn't say Dual Sanitronic 80.

Yes I've found that out about the bag topper. And as an update, I've found all the pieces I need on eBay (brushroll, headlight trim, solid plastic handle top, and original bag). I hope to get these and do some heavy buffing to get it as good as new. I'll probably take it to the local vac shop to have it serviced too just for good measure.

The new brushroll & green headlight trim are ordered from ebay!!!

 

[vintagevaclover]
