Looking for

[vacmadman]

I'm looking for the young person who was in need of a Kirby 2C handle and nozzle trim. I have these items and I'm willing to let them go. I have decided to start letting go of some of my collection, and parts. Please let me know if there is anything that you might need or be interested in,

Jim

I do remember he wanted one like a fat kid wanted a bakery.

Hi there, I am very interested in parts for early Kirby vacuums, such as parts for a 2C and 505, which you're willing to part with.

2C handle

Liam,

The handle I have has been painted white, but you can easily paint it black again, but I wanted to let you know. I will go out to the shop today and pull out the parts and take a few pictures for you to see. I also have some 505 parts as well.

Interesting find

I remember someone here saying there were a number of different grey DuPont plastic wheels that Kirby made, and while cleaning up these grey wheels I found 5 different types. In pic#1 shows all 5 with the first 515 style at the top with the smooth wheel face and smooth tread. Pic#2 shows the 515 smooth face wheels pic#3 has the tight spiral design with the smooth tread. pic#4 has the tight spiral design with the "textured" tread. It also has on the inside of the wheel RC. MFG MADE IN USA. Pic#5 has the tight spiral design, but in a lighter grey color, and it also has the textured tread and mold markings on the inside of the wheel. pic#6 has a "lose" spiral design on the face, and has the textured tread, with a small mfg. mark on the inside of the wheel. Pic#7 shows the smooth tread style, and the textured tread style. Now all we need to figure out witch ones go on what models....LOL!
