lol I am a

Kirby lover Zach , but I do love my Convertibles and every other vacuum I own.
Kirbys are my favorite though .I love all Hoover Convertibles very hard to choose Ken I am with you .

thanks for sharing, quite a collection there...the photo of that vacuum alone brings back so many memories...was the 4047 produced in the early 70's?  Maybe even 1969/1970?  My mom had a 1030, which I think was purchased around 1972, before I was born...

dear dan as a life long Hoover collecter and sales and service dealer for a kirby collecto you do have quite a collection of Hoover convertibles the photos around the pool are priceless.....its a shame you were not on a floating raft in the background.....but then again who would take the picture

 

[kirbyloverdan]

lol Thank you

yeah that would be kinda hard to take the picture of me in my pool too . I would really like to take pics of my entire collection but that will take some time so stay tuned . Next up I think will be my extensive Oreck collection and my Kirby collection but most of all of them are in boxes so I am not sure how to do those.

delphin vacuum

Hi Dan

Glad to here your alright and our thoughts and prayers go out to those who didn't fair so well.

I hope you don't mind was checking out your profile and saw you like water filtration vacuums

Have you ever seen or heard of a delphin?

I have two broken ones and my wifes friend just gave me her working one.

If you are interested i can post some pics

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Yes I have

I am not into those vacuums because I think they are too bulky and just don`t like the look of them. I also didn`t like the rechargable power nozzel they offered now I think they went to electric.

delphin

The one I have here looks more like a rainbow than any thing else.
Never seen one with a rechargible nossel, this one is electric and the machine is about 15 year s old.
don't like the look of it either

 

[gsheen]

delphin

Hi Dan is this the one you have seen, it has a massive 3 stage motor in it


Battery powered pn is the latest one just found out

They could make it look better

 

[normvac]

Take pictures of what you have !

Dan
You have a wonderful collection and I personally would love to see your Kirbys,
plus the rest of the collection.
If you were ever to lose any or all of it for some drastric reason. You would
hopefully have a picture history for the Record. At least on a disc, stored
in a locked safe box in you house. Even locked on line somewhere out in cycber
space somewhere.
You might be glad you did some day. I know of a guy here in S. Ohio who was active
in this club in it's early days. He has over 600+ vacuums in his house. It was just amazing to see all of those vacuums the first time I stepped into this home. Whole rooms devoted to vacuums and nothing else. He says he has it in Writing that a friend from the club is to have all of them if anything ever happens to him. Which gave some comfort in knowing that someone who understands and would appreciate them, would have them.

I will have to

do that Norm (take Pics ), I should think about what to do with my Vacuums if something ever happened to me .
