Kirby 512 and 514Thank you very much for your replies. I looked more closely at the machine I have and the cord has a sticker on it that says this is a replacement cord. Is it possible that the box of attachment parts is for the 509 or other year? The handle appears to be a smooth gray as well and reading some of the information here it sounds like they didn't move to the red handle until the 514 so perhaps it was an early edition model? There are some interesting attachments in the box. What is a crystalator? There is also a glass bottle with a brown lid cylinder like top? My machine is clearly identified on its plate as a 514 model. The Kirby bag with the small Kirby lettering all over, is that a replacement bag? By the way, it runs beautifully! It is possible the attachments I have go to my dad's vacuum. However, he is in another state and it will be a bit before I can see his model which he confirmed states it is a 512.
