My Kirby 561 and 510.

My newly acquired 561 needs some belt lifter work, but it sounds good. And my older 510 next to it. They're both factory rebuilt.

Nice ! I never noticed there was two different logo patterns on those bags.

Very nice.

What year do you think? Very nice. Just wondering, when did you have the factory rebuild on them?

561 was rebuilt December of 1993 and the 510 was rebuilt on August of 1998.

561 was rebuilt December of 1993 and the 510 was rebuilt on August of 1998.

That was when they still had repair shops in different places. I bought mine in 1984 and for a very long time we had one place locally. Then they seemed to have stopped that.

It should still be like that.

I thought there would be only one factory style setting outer bag, but boy was I wrong.

Here's the tag of the 561 for you curious wanderers.
