Hey Alex,

You broke up my line up! That's alright, but I, probably, like most are curious to know what is the most popular of the old black bags. Would be interesting to see.

 

[jfalberti]

My favorite

Is the Sanitronic VII.

Caleb,

You've broken your own line-up by criticizing me for breaking your line-up. 

 


 


 


 


my vote goes for the 505 so far, though 

.

 

[super-sweeper]

Joe,

The Sani-7 did have a lovely bag! Unfortunately not exactly 'early Kirby'

.


 


Say Caleb, why not start a thread over everyone's favorite Kirby bag of all models?

 

[jfalberti]

It's the earliest one I have.

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

My favorite early Kirby? The Tradition with the locking headlight (1979-1980).

Ben,

It looks like you need to swing another Sani Em-tor cover on that beauty. I believe, I seen a blue one on eBay, if I'm not mistaking.

Calem,

You are right... this actually does have a replacement Sani Emtor, but I refuse to use other people's pix without their permission and consent.

[super-sweeper]

Ben,

Have you managed to find your dream-machine 1979 Kirby Tradition? Or are those the pictures of another one's machine?

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

Alex,

I don't have one yet (I'm hoping to), so please forgive me over the picture stealing.

~Ben

 

[super-sweeper]

picture theft,

That's no problem, if we didn't have pictures of such machines we'd have pages of just descriptions, which isn't very fun!


 


If you need a 1979 Tradition picture-use mine from before restoration.I'll get back to you when I'm done with the restoration.

This year's election has been canceled due to poor voter turnout. 244 views and 4 votes cast, Wow! Chief pollster declares voters' participation was abysmal, but still hopes to see a turnaround before making a messy fudgy on himself!

Favorite Early Series Kirby

Mine is and always will be my daily driver Kirby Model 561....

 

[cb123]

Good choice, but that's still more middle-aged than geriatric. When I mean EARLY, I MEAN EARLY!

 

[kirbylux77]

My vote goes for the Kirby 519. Love the color scheme Kirby used on the vac, plus the fact that it's got only 1 speed....so it would probably clean slightly better than the Dual Sanitronic 50 & 80, since it's always running on high speed.

I know this is supposed to be a thread solely devoted to the early, early black bag Kirby's, but I just have to show my favorite daily driver, and its the Eureka in the middle. I can honestly say I ride her like she only cost me two dollars, and I have never ever heard her complain, not nitpick once, and that's a pretty good track record!

 

[kirby519]

Can I like all of them. Each one has some thing special about it's design and the evolution of the next model. Also what about the scott & fetzer sanitation systems?
They were after the vacuettes and before Jim Kirby put his name on what we now know as the Kirby Vacuum.

I would like to have one of each of the models. The wireless vacuette would be my favorite. Based on its motor less manual design. The latest in technology for its time.

 

[aspie62]

Tradition

I like the Tradition for it's beautiful blue color, and its place in Kirby history as the first to offer disposable bags.

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

And, very briefly, a fool-proof headlight.

~Ben

 

[cb123]

Wicked Kirby should have kept that wonderful creature feature...Shame, shame on them! It looks like someone needs to give that company the evil eye, really bad.

Tradition for sale

I have this tradition for sale if you're interested in getting one. The wireless next to it is not for sale.

 

[cb123]

I should hope not, and I don't blame you at all for hanging on to that fine looking Vacuette!

 

[smow69]
