Just saw this kirby for sale near my area. I have no interest in the machine but I would imagine this machine is a newer 56-something and the attachments would fit my 515. Anyone interested in the machine itself if I do go for it?

In addition

I just found this add right after the other one. Almost looks like the same thing except the hose from the other machine is white and this one is red, matching the attachments. But it's 1/2 the price so I don't think I can pass this up, as long as the tools fit my 515. Maybe I'll buy both and just keep the best of the tools and sell the rest on Ebay or something.

The motor and blower couplers will be different between usage on the 505-515 and the 516-562. The part numbers for these will differ:

#2100 is the suction coupler for models 505-515.

#210056 is the suction coupler for models 516-562.

#2120 is the blower (Emtor) coupler for models 505-515.

#212056 (replaced by the plastic #212059S/212062S) is the blower (Emtor) coupler for models 516-562. #212059S is red plastic, while #212062S is sirocco (tan) plastic.

Hope this helps,
