My 1981 Southwest M&D Vac Parts Catalog!

[kirbyclassiciii]

My rarest find I'd bought on eBay nearly two weeks ago finally arrived! This catalog was printed on October 1, 1981.

I bought it for all the Kirby, Super-Sweep and Royal parts diagrams. Here's the first 10 pictures I took from it.

That is just too cool for words... I sure wish those prices were still current! Too bad these catalogs no longer made anymore - I had always enjoyed looking at them.
I even remember those days when owners manuals themselves would have exploded views and parts lists. Sadly it is a throw-away society now...

Hey

That's awesome magazine. What is the power flite vacuum. I just like books like this. It helps with parts. It also shows how much parts have changed.

Les,

Yes, it sure is an awesome find.

The two Powr-Flite vacuums are the P52 that was based on the Sanitaire, and the PF18 was the same product as the Super-Sweep. There are others in addition to these two with the same branding.
