One more thing
Just had to say, you must give a big hand to a consumer product like a Kirby that can be rebuilt and resold time and again for the better part of 50 years (or more for some Kirbys) That 1-CR was already refurbished and dressed up once, and when I get done with these machines, I hope they can carry on for another 30+ years at least.
With so much throwaway junk being sold today, it's nice to see you really do get what you pay for in a Kirby. Let's hope the Sentrias are still going in 50 years.
