Hi,
Oh, I don't feel horrible about any amount I've ever spent on a Kirby...I love them. I bought this one in '98 or '99 from people who knew exactly what they had so I couldn't really haggle! It's all original excepting for the bag. In my ebay sale listing, I've put all the important info about the machine. But I could kick myself for not buying an original 562 bag up on ebay last year. Just couldn't justify the $80 cost for it at the time...and I wasn't thinking of selling the machine then either.
The floor nozzle is correct, though...and if I'm remembering properly, is identical to a Sanitronic VII. They're basically the same machine except for the white cord and the bag pattern. The handlegrip and bag topper of a 562 are almost a metalflake rootbeer brown colour vs. tan used on Sanitronic VII. Funny thing with Kirbys and trim types...A Sanitronic VII owner's manual shows that machine with both types of cord, and I think they've not got the "proper" bag type in a couple of shots...but no matter. I guess if someone REALLY wants a decent 562, I'll see activity on this one!
