showing the state of the rear wheels - can you still get these from anywhere now?

That Kirby,
is it a Heritage II with an H1 nozzle and emptor,
or a Kirby Heritage I with an H2 bag,
or is it a Heritage II with H1 nozzle & an H2 shake out bag (RARE)

Sorry for my long post, I am just curious

Yes but I don't believe in taking a motor out of a perfectly good vacuum to get another one going though, because I'd then feel like I'd have to get another motor to get the donor working again.

Noah - The Kirby is a Heritage 1 which has the later rear zip bag from a Heritage 2 Legend fitted. The Sani-emptor has the fill tube fitted with oval bag adaptor, so it takes paper bags rather than the dump out bag. I intend to find a Heritage 1 bag for it in due course and shine it up as it is in otherwise good condition and is worth preserving. Its just that it was previously not used for some time and in someones attic or in their shed - not sure which, but it was part of a house clearance as all the 11 above were.
