I had bought these two machines from my friend's Kirby shop before he had liquidated it and closed up in 2019. These were in his collection of complete working vacuums for sale.
Despite the fact I already had one of each of these that I had already restored, I bought these thinking I ~might~ want a couple more. (I was also infected with 'Kirby fever' back then).
I now realize I do not need duplicate units, and do not want to keep them as 'parts' units as they are far too nice for this. I also need more space in the garage.
Therefore I have decided it is best to sell them off to someone who wants them.
They are both usable as-is and are very restorable. All parts should be there and I will make sure of it when I get a buyer lined up. I will also run complete tests and inspections on them. I have extra parts to make sure each set is complete and fully operational.
The CIII has a metal fan but not sure on the Trad.
The Trad has the infamous headlight lock, but case mounted safety switch. The bag looks like a non-Kirby replacement, but it still uses the disposable bags and emtor.
The CIII has the dump bag.
Asking $30 each or $50 for both, just to recoup what I had paid back then.
Pickup in east Plano preferred but can ship if needed (which will be easily 40 and up extra per machine, dependent on location).
If someone local gets either or both of these, I can include a G4 parts unit absolutely free (if wanted). It is listed further below in the supermarket section...
