NOS, UNUSED, BOXED Vacuums...Who has these?

Haha Brandon, yes that's it! Looks exactly like that. I'm still tempted to break it in and start using the attachments for things like demothing but I also want to keep it perfect.

vac_whisperer, the avatar is me! Who is Betty Juarez?

Wow, that really is a fabulous Kirby. I don't recall seeing it when it was first posted. The odd thing about it is, perfect that it is, it has a replacement cord on it. The original cord was gray with red plugs. The "male" plug has the same logo on it that's on the bag. That red cord is from the Classic-III era (1976-79).

Not to say I'd turn my nose up at it, it's just kinda strange that the cord is not original if this machine has been kept packed away all these years.

actually, that cord looks tan.

That was my doing! We did buy the cord new from Kirby because originally we planned to use it. We still have the original gray cord, but it's got a little dry rot from age, so to help preserve it it's carefully rolled up separately.

Ah, mystery solved!!
