Kirby Model 508 part needed....

[BillyJ]

Hello, I have a Kirby Model 508 that serves daily duty. This morning, my wife decided to vacuum the house, but "the handle wouldn't move", so she forced it until it "moved", breaking the bottom fork of the handle. The handle wouldn't move because the little "slider" or "lock" on the housing on the left side handle got moved, locking the handle in place. Would anybody have a replacement lower fork for the handle? Thank you in advance!

Ben & Epixstar-
Thank you for your replies! I stopped dealing through ebay in protest of their (and Paypal's) ludicrous rate hikes some time ago. I would rather give my money to an individual, and not have those gouging pikers get a red cent of my money. Epixstar....what would you need to get for your handle fork?
