Newbie KIrby 508 questions

[aeoliandave]

Not to worry, Bill.

I found this 510 with a weird replacement handgrip on it. As you spied its oddness it is a soft flesh toned featureless blob that faintly resembles a male body part.(!!)
I have replaced it since this photo with a proper Kirby shaped grip, although a red one.

I'm not sure about the bag but all the gray rubber trim and cord seem original.

I have no gray tools or the hose for it so the 508 would have a very welcoming home here among the 10 other Kirbys.

Dave, you're bag looks like it's in really good shape too!

Had a bit of problem sending - probably a local glitch - but an email seemed to go through a few minutes ago, Andy.

Meantime I came across this Kirby Kickline shot when I was organizing the Vacuum Lounge a few months ago. The five G Series are lined up beside the bed on the left.

These are great examples of really old all original kirbys
