Ben, yes most of this is way cool to have - just need to find time to resto the vacs and sort through the parts to figure out what I need and don't need!
So here are some pictures from the first two boxes.
I got the complete D80, just because it is unique. Also I have to believe Olive Green is coming back as my company (a high-tech place) is using a lot of it in furnishings.
I got this 50x machine just for the grey wheels and motor parts for my 505 if I ever need them - will put these on that last 509 I got with its grey bag. This one has a nice 6 blade metal fan!
The Omega here is a basket case but I wanted it for the garage. I have a blue bag for it. It has a good 10 blade metal fan.
Last of the machines is this Tradition with a Classic III bag. Now this just cannot be. I will put the extra blue bag on this one. So what to do with a red bag? Well, I will be getting another Classic III parts unit to put it on! This unit has a broken grey fan so i will get a replacement next time I go, likely attached to another vac!
Moving into the parts category, i got lots of NOS and repro nozzle bumpers!
Also a lot of handle decals and three metal carry handles for 5xx machines. Anyone know which models got the red one and which the silver?
I got three old owners manuals, one for 505, 517, and D50. Glad to have the 505 one for my 505...
Lastly some cool Kirby memorabilia, including a Japanese brochure for the Omega!
The last box I have yet to go through but hopefully this weekend. LOTS of small trim parts in there.
