Kirby Sanitronic 50 questions

[texbodemer]

Hi!

I have a few questions about my newest Kirby Sanitronic 50. It has a clear emblem on the headlight cover, and a stamping by the rear wheels of the number "65".

Does anyone have any serial number ranges for these machines?

Nick,

The Dual Sanitronic 50 was produced from 1965 through 1967. The earliest machines had no letter before the serial numbers, but during the 1966-67 season (the second and last), an "A" was added before the sequence number.

Otherwise, they are all identical. What you found on yours would mean it was built in 1965, the first year of production and sale.
