finding original bags for the older kirby's is kinda hard. unless you get one from a vac someone is parting out where the bag is intact, or buy a machine with it that's restored, its not easy to find manufacterer original bags for anything older the the classic III without some considerable effort and luck. hope this helps.

ebay and craigslist along with storage unit sales are you best bet for this.

He's right. Finding a new original bag or one that even resembles an original bag for anything older than even a d80 nowadays is near impossible. You would need to go find remote old vacuum shops and see if they might have one.

Have you thought about buying one of the black bags Kirby sells as a replacement for the older machines, then find the logo on-line and print it onto an iron-on transfer? That might be one way to go.

I'd agree with going for one of the current-range Black bags, might not look "original", but you have a blank canvas to make it look like it could have been...

On ebay i see older bags sometimes with the emptor still attached. This would be the best way to go rather then trying to stretch the old bag and possibly break something.
