I can see how that could be construed that way, but for me it takes a fine geriatric Kirby to get the old torpedo racing!

Okay, maybe I'm dense, but I don't get it. I see nothing off-color in the Electrolux handout.
To cb123, send me a private message and explaine it to me.

So, cb123 is saying this thread isn't quite his idea of "porn", although he can appreciate others may think so. He would need to see an old Kirby ad/pamphlet/brochure etc. to qualify as the aforementioned "porn".
Right??? LOL

The alphanumeric phone number GR2-7302 translates to 472-7302. Big deal. That's the way phone numbers were expressed until sometime in the 1960s, perhaps even into late as the early '70s in some places. Each two-letter 'exchange' usually had a word associated with it. My grandparents' phone number prefix was 787, which was the 'sunset' exchange when the number was issued in the mid '50s. How in the world people remembered all those word mnemonics, I'll never know. Of course, today we can't even remember phone numbers because we just store them in our cell phones and call them up by the person's name.

Old phone numbers
had two prefix digits. In the AT&T days, GR2-1212 was the number to call for the time. There was also a number to call which would call your phone back.

Our rotary dial phone had
OL4 on it. It stood for "olympia"...it was 654 OR 655, as we had both in my city. We were 654, my uncle was 655, but theoperators called it, "Olympia or olympic"

Probably has to have an actual Model G in it. These are mine. I drool over them every day. So lucky and blessed to have GREAT friends who share with me, and the Vacuum Museum.

There was indeed a turquoise Model G that in fact was manufactured for far longer (1960-67 with several variations) than the tan Hospital G shown above. The Hospital G was a very limited production run intended for use in hospitals and other places where better filtration and softer motor sound was desirable.
Here are five other versions of the Model G, in no particular order...
1. Turquoise Model G (this photo is of Michael LaBue's beautiful machine)
2. Metallic Tan Model G
3. Metallic Gray Model G, a factory-rebuilt machine (they also did some in metallic turquoise)
4. Off-white Model Hospital G with turquoise trim
5. Gold Model G, a salesman's trophy for top sales (not sold to consumers)

I like to call this one the little window peepshow. There's nothin' which smells any better than a fine, vintage piece of equipment. Well, with the exception of just one other thing that is.

Charles,
I have a question about the Golden G.
The hose I see is off white with gold stripe and the attachments seem to be the white matching the trim. What color would the power nozzle have been? I have a spare white pn 1 with a light grey colored bumper and I'm considering painting the bumper gold as well as the lettering so it will match my Golden G.
Very odd, my Gold G has the pn plug on the front as well as one on the metal strip on top like the AF and neither one of them is wired for use? The wires are just capped off.
