Here is a group shot of some new arrivals in the last year or so. I've been meaning to post a pic for a while but just did not get around to it.
From left to right: a Lux Renny that I acquired from ebay last month. Yes, it is too new for this category but I wanted to keep her in the group shot. The hose is perfect and relatively new and it has a new filter and brush roll. All tools present and accounted for.
Then we have a Kirby 1CB according to the plate on the bottom. It was a birthday gift from Tania Voigt and Terry Lattz. I received it in Jan. of this year. It was all original but I wanted to use it so I put on a replacement bag, (I had the Kirby patch sewn on), added a zipper, mini-emptor, fill tube, 4-strip brush roll and presto-chango, I have a daily driver. Duane Taylor did some mechanical work and Tania had it buffed out. Stunning Kirby with a disposable bag.
Next is a NIB Filter Queen 31 that my spouse got for me for my birthday. The purchase was before my birthday but I wanted it so here it is. This came from Ruth Hollander in St. Louis. The tool ring has been replaced with one that will hold a floor brush instead of the felt pad. A floor brush was acquired and is being spa treated at Ken Wagman's.
Finally, is the Kenmore Saturn with a power nozzle. All original including the owner's manual. Everything works. The wands are correct replacement courtesy of Tania and the vacuum was a birthday gift from Fred Nelson. Nice gift! It has all the attachments and a supply of bags thanks to Dan Pontow.
