Kirby Sanitronic

[vacfanatic]

I had one of my friends, (I have a specific 3 of them to seek any good vacuum deals when they are out Good Willing, or as we say GW'in.), find this today at the Council Bluffs, IA Good Will. $15.00. She called my friend who called me and said we have an eh-mur-jency! I said what what? Amy found a Kirby at Goodwill, should she get it for you? I of course blerted out YES!!! Anyway, here's some pictures of her before restoration. It should be a fun project!

Nice!

I am interested in talking to you about your vacuums!

Im a 15 year old collecting here in Nebraska. I have a Heritage II legend, G6, and I am getting a compact electra, Electrolux L, an ALL ORIGINAL 518, and a 512!

Do you have a large collection? It would be cool to talk together.

Who else besides Dial-a-nap collect here in omaha?!

That's real nice find, Andrew - all the important parts in great shape, like the new bag, the belt lever shield isn't cracked or gouged and the rubber trim & bumpers look good.

As for the red wheel, sure you'll have a replacement in no time.

Brandon, do as all the newbies should - go to the member profile page and start making lists. And devote some time every night reading the Archives and bookmarking posts of relevant interest. I did and compiled my own data sheets I refer to often.

Dave - a bit obsessed? No, passionate about vacuum cleaners at 56.

Ah, behold the beautiful Kirby Sanitronic VII

Good find, great price, and you'll have a lot of fun with it. I love the sound of the Sanitronic motors, they have a growl unlike any other.

Nice Find Andrew!

Looks like all you'll have to do is some cleaning and polishing and replace the red wheel and you'll have one beautiful machine. Congrats!
