KIRBY EL DORADO - THE MOTHER LOAD!!!

[cb123]

Kirby utopia has been discovered, and I must say with all honesty, it was a beautiful sight. It was like I lived my whole life off of charity, and then everything turned to gold when I walked through those wondrous doors. Sadly,  I was only able to take a few snapshots before my camera shorted out, on account of my many tears...tears of JOY!

Calem, your silly electronic camera shorted out? Next time borrow mine, the worst you could do is mess up the color film a tad!

Calem, whatever you do, grab that beautiful Kirby 505! That old girl deserves to be in a home with a collector & have a good retirement after years of cleaning. And besides, whoever does buy it to use for cleaning house on a regular basis is bound to be disappointed. The Kirby 505 may be good by 1945 standards, but many people would say that by 2014 standards it is underpowered & doesn`t clean well.

KIRBYS!!!KIRBYS!!!This is Kirby HEAVEN--Don't sell that 505 short-it will blow the bags and bins off most NEW machines!!!!Hope those Sentria boxes contain NEW vacuums waiting for their new owners!!!Love to see the trade in pile at this dealer!Looks like he's been there for awhile.Walk in Kirby places like this are rare.Usually the "store" just contains stock and serves as a meeting place for the salesmen to meet at before the days "van Campaigns" start.The "store" is usually not open to the walk in public.Maybe at best to sell bags or other things.

I like those old

Narrow head kirbys, they really will lift the carpet off the floor!

Oh dear, if I only I had pictures of the downtown Kirby store, you'd have a field day in it! 


 


OR....put that lovely little 505 on a cruise ship to FLORIDA! Year-Round sunshine, crisp air, the perfect home!!

That little 505 is not only a gal...she's my pal. I was just showing her a day out on the town, so as she could soak up all that fine BAMA sunshine!

 LOOKS LIKE I NEED SOME SUNBLOCK!!! I took her to my local handy dandy KIRBY dude, so as he could give her a ride. After which, he tried to bribe me with a Sentria II and some cash, which I replied to his most generous offer, "Over my cold dead body will you ever part thee from her!" Well, I didn't quite say it like that, but you do get my meaning.

 


Here's a photo of some trade-ins on their way to Mecca. I'm just glad their not riding on a bus...they could blow up!

BLASPHEMER, breaker of brightness! Alex's wrath shall soon fall upon you....MuHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!

I'd LOVE to see them try!!

Hi I would love to see those Kirbys. The 505 is what got me started . with vacuums. Is the 505 for sale? If so how much Doug

 

[cb123]

Oh, about a million dollars....how's that grab ya?!

No, it's not for sale, but for $2500 like the one on eBay, I just might part with her. OK, since we've dispensed with the formalities, you can make the check out to....It's not for sale...Never....Never....Ever, but for $2500, Who knows?
