Old Kirbys and things

Someone gave me this Kirby 519. I don't know where it originally came from. Wrong belt lifter. I love it. We rebuilt it and it runs smooth and nice on its new bearings.

The gorgeous Kirby 562. Stunning. She was given to me by a good friend, and fellow Kirby collector from Ohio.

This is a Kirby Dual 80 moments after unboxing. A customer who was the original owner sent it back for it's factory rebuild and let me open the box. Black bag and cord, but it runs like brand new and my customer is delighted I reminded her she had the right to have it rebuilt (I think it was fifty dollars).

Dual 80 rebuild

It's beautiful like all the others. I thought I heard that Kirby was using tan trim now on all the rebuilds and was advised to retain all the original colored pieces before sending a unit in for overhaul. My humble opinion, the Dual 80 and HeritageII are two of the best Kirby's around.
