Found a stray

Convertible was real sunny out today, my neighbor sent this to me last year I originally picked this out of her trash when I was a little kid found out it needed a switch fixed it and sold it back to her for $25.00 from then on I made
lots of money as a child fixing and selling trash find Convertibles .
I just can't do that anymore the vacuums in the trash are too disgusting
and dirty . Plus the newest thing to worry about in trash picked vacuums is
the growing bed bug epidemic and that in itself is disgusting !

Hard to tell, but i think...

.
I like that one. That brown sets off color well. There is one like it but green/brown up for sale in the "super market" area. I have never run across one in person yet. A light blue hood might really rock, what color hoods were they made in that design?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Gee

Looks like I am still the leader with the longest thread in vacuum land history once again

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

I think

the Blue one and this Robert for the metal machines the Lexan ones had many colors .

Dan

 

[stricklybojack]

Yes,

.
I think i have seen a picture of the light blue hood brown metal combo, might have to find one for my collection someday.
Can a lexan model hood fit a metal base model?
Here's Dustin's machine for sale. There was an orange/brown i've seen that i also like.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Oh ok

That one doesn't have the Headlight like my brown one .
I never tried to switch hoods that a great question I
will have to ask the Hoover God John Gregory .

Dan

 

[stricklybojack]

When you speak to him...

.
please tell him many thanks for the extras he sent along with my order of brush strips...'from the guy in NYC'. The bearings will be put to good use in my small fleet of Hoovers. I like that style of doing business!
(I tried to leave a message on his website but had technical difficulties.)

 

[kirbyloverdan]

I most

Certainly will Robert . That's John Gregory a very kind and giving man a few have taken advantage
of his kindness but more people appreciate him so they don't matter .

My Simplicity

Hey Dan, I too have a Legend II, I absolutely love the color. Its my favorite post 1980 to current Kirby

 

[jade_angel]

Very nice Legend II; I'd love to find one like it. I really think the Legend series were probably the best Kirbys ever made - lighter and less cumbersome than the G-series, plenty of power but not too loud, and can use the modern HEPA bags.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Gareth

I have two legend II in the maroon and one in Black with the small head I will post that later. Love that era too such great Kirby`s .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Eric

Thank you I have two in the Maroon such awesome machines I might part with one

I love the G series also I don't find them cumbersome or loud but that's what everyone says .

Dan

 

[jade_angel]

I don't think the G-series is terrible either, but the Legend series is, in my opinion, anyway, easier to maneuver. (Decent versus better, not good versus bad) As for loud, I think my point of comparison is more modern Royal than Kirby. I don't consider any of the Kirbys very loud.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

I hear

You Eric I feel the same way about the Legends the only thing is I have frieze carpet and the self propelled Sentria II is easier to push on my carpets .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Next up my

Kenmore twins one self propelled one manual push .
