Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition (2005) restoration

[thekirbylover]

so after a good few years of wanting this particular model I have finally got one, it did come with most of its tools and also the shampooer kit which the seller never used, it was in a bit of a sorry state when I first got it the bearings were very rough and it stank of cheese, it smelled as if someone had sucked up macaroni cheese, anyway enough of me rambling here are the before pictures during the restoration and after pics. in the first picture as you can see the bag is literally jam packed full.

Here is the unused shampooer kit, the box is very tatty and worn but oh well.

 

[thekirbylover]

Here is the accessory caddy complete with the majority of the tools.

 

[thekirbylover]

These must of been stored in a garage or somewhere very open.

It was somewhat of a spider cometary however there were a few that were scurrying everywhere, you can see at the bottom of the extension tube.

 

[thekirbylover]

Anyway back onto the machine, here is the foul smelling bag.

Here is what I found in the mini emptor, not exactly the best things to suck up with one of these.

Taking off the bag

 

[thekirbylover]

The bag may of looked clean but boy this water tells a different story.

 

[thekirbylover]

Now to strip the main machine.

Taking the belt lifter out.

The fan is actually in good condition.
