My Restored Kirby 1C Just in time for Christmas!

[larryeddy]

Got my Kirby 1C back from the restorer and just finished the assembly!
I think it looks awesome and it sounds like a dream!

Aftermarket bag (I have the original) and cord.
Rest is all original!

Thoughts?
Anything i did wrong? or Right?!

Last picture with his brother the Wireless Vacuette.
Also i can't seem to catch just how bright the polish job is my my phone cam.

Very first time on this site so hopefully my reply is correctly done? What a beautiful restoration on your 1C! Stunning!!! I am currently restoring 1C model and I am looking for a brush roll housing. If anyone has any idea where there is one I would appreciate your feed back.

Thanks Guys!

Mike did an awesome job with the buffing! I have buffed a few Kirby's and they look good. Mike's experience took it to the next level!

Big Rig.. Not sure if Mike has a Brush Roll housing for you but i know he has the bags and the custom wheels he makes for sale!

Thanks Again Guys!
