Nice

I think mine is either 45th anniversary or close to it.
Congrats i can't imagine you not getting it.
I think the eureka wide track I won on eBay is a bust. I asked for tracking number or anything. I haven't heard anything. Tommorow I can dispute it. I am getting a royal power tank cannister tommorow for $50.
It doesn't have a power nozzle or atleast im not aware of it. I'm not sure if they use eureka, rugmaster or nutotne. I do have an extra eureka as I bought a green eureka power nozzle for my c8 in green.

Sweet

Glad to hear. Maybe one day you can pass on the cxl to a family member like your c,9.
Does it have a power nozzle? If so is it flat belt or geared belt?

Kids

You don't have to have kids. If I have kids it would be adopted. You can maybe plant a seed of vacuum knowledge through your nephew. I tried my nephew who is 18 but no no avail.
Im not even following topic here. I need my bearing puller to take bearing off rainbow to put the new bearing and nut to finish the rainbow silver.
Im waiting for my teacher to send invite for virtual class.

[thevacomaticiec]

If you know me well you know i am a
Tristar Compact fanatic from c1
To Dxl .Well today May 25 2020 i got a
NIB. TRISTAR CXL 50th anniversary
Whit all the bells whistles except pn called it quit dont you worry .Pn200 fits the tristar and works just fine .
Yay tristar joins my collection.

 

[lesinutah]

Awesome

That is pretty sweet. I'd say watch it be more powerful than your compact buy you replaced the motor. It should run just like your compact c9.
I'll make one suggestion on the c9 you painted. The power nozzle the I believe sticker or top section goldfish yellow. If you paint it light blue it would match the power nozzle. I'll say again that your compact c9 paint job still looks good.
What year is the 50th anniversary 1993? I have the two tone 45th anniversary.
The power nozzle for mine is exactly the same as the c9. Where it's white its black on cxl power nozzle.
I have used my royal power tank 4150 and it's not as powerful as c8,c9 or cxl.
Glad to see you got the cxl though. I remember you asked why I got another compact when I already have one. You know the answer is you get a chance to get a compact/tristar you take it.
Congratulations again.

You can say that again both my cxl and c9 run so well im 9ver the moon happy.ty ty

Nice score!

I was going to ask the same question about what year yours is. Some friends bought a Tristar CXL complete in '93 and another friend bought same few years later. I house sit for both and have used their machines many times and really like them. I brought one home to try at my place since that's the best way to see and compare it's performance. Very strong. Neither have the lg. exhaust filter on front and yet they are still relatively quiet. You could have a conversation with someone while vacuuming without yelling! Been thinking about adding one to my daily driver collection! Congrats!

Like your namesake I love Kirby's too. I even painted my c8 d80 green after my d80.
There is a small filter like the black foam they use on shop vac filters. It filters a little. I have the plug and it bog down the machine.
The cxl with a wessell werk ebk-360 power nozzle. The Wessell Werk is $150. The regular power nozzles are really good.
If you like Kirby this is what a Kirby canister would perform like.
Since I've got my c9 a year and a half ago it's been my daily driver.
The tristar/compact power nozzles are made by eureka.
