Help Support VacuumLand:

Message: <blockquote data-quote="kirbyowner" data-source="post: 441497" data-attributes="member: 5282">UpdateHello,I have finally received every part I was waiting on for my 515: The bag, early grey emptor tray, early red handle grip, and the Sweet Aire disperser inside of the emptor, which was missing when I bought the unit. I also found some attachment goodies, a cloth hose, lifter grip & sholder strap, and early grey crevice tool. I am very happy about all of this, my Kirby is finally starting to look like a true 500 series again!I noticed a couple trouble spots on the bag, aside from being generally worn over the years, there were two main issues I spotted (With photos provided):1. Unsuprisingly, the red around the Kirby logo has mostly faded off. I beleive I saw another post talking about a certain acrylic paint that does the job, however I'd just like to ask for myself.2. When cleaning, I noticed there is a decent-sized hole on the bottom of the bag around the emptor spring. Luckilly it is underneath the guard, however it is still something I'd like to address if possible.I have not cleaned this bag at all, aside from vacuuming out the inside, and giving the inside and out both a light brushing. I didn't want to do any sort of real cleaning until I know what would work best for my bag without potentially harming it. The bag also feels somewhat stiff compared to the bags on my Sanitronic and the other corduroy one on my 1-CR. I'm not sure if this is normal for older bags, or if it is stiff from dirt (This bag looked like it had never been cleaned in its life when I got it)Again, thank you for any advice and feedback, (As you can probably tell, cloth bags are not my strong point. I'm still young, and a beginner collector!)[ATTACH=full]142203[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]142204[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]142205[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]142206[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]142207[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
