Kirby Heritage II Small Head

[kc_kirby]

I recently picked up a Kirby Heritage II with the small head. I have heard mention of this alot before but I had never actually seen one up close. I thought I would compare the nozzle to my Sanitronic VII nozzle. I was amazed to find out that they are actually the same casting. The only difference is the Heritage II nozzle has an extra little nodule to activate the safety switch which is in a different location on the Heritage. I even put the Heritage II nozzle onto my Sanitronic VII and it actually worked. The vacuum turned on and the brushroll turned. I'll attach some pics of the nozzles side by side for comparison.

Here's a pic showing the back side so you can see the safety switch nodule locations.

I have been looking for one of those buggers for years! Congratulations on your neat find!
