Another visit today and a big haul...
Well, a trip to get a few things turned into a good load. Another time my truck got me in trouble!
I got three Kirby boxes packed to the gills with vacuums and new, NOS, and used parts, many parts that were destined for the trash. Also I got a bunch of metal file card drawers that I plan to use in the garage for storing hardware and such. Total financial damage was 150 clams...
I got the very nice D80, a junk 50x model, a junky but working Omega and a junky but semi-working Tradition (needs a fan).
Half of the parts I do not even now what they are yet - will do an unboxing Thursday.
I also got some vintage Kirby manuals, brochures, mags, and sales awards. A couple suction meters were in there as well.
If anyone is wanting anything, please go by there as soon as you can as the scrap man has already been taking some of the old motor units. If anyone needs some time to get those, please call him to stake your claim and commit to picking them up. There is also a box of G-series miracle heads/shampooer heads that are destined for scrap.
The week of Thanksgiving is D-day, so please visit before then. Thanksgiving week is when the scrap man will take all the remains.
I will be there again before then to pick up a nice Heritage and attachment set he has on hold (ran out of cash!) and whatever else I might want.
If someone here is planning a visit to Dallas and wants something, but will be here after November, I might be able to get it for you as long as I know it will be picked up - I do not mind helping out some if I can for fellow collectors.
- He has a washed, VERY NICE original Classic bag that has been washed but has small grease spot (GOOP hand cleaner will remove it) on it for $20. He has a Kirby replacement for same model in same color but no badge for $10 I think.
- the gold Heritage has been reduced to $300 firm.
- There are two working Classics with bags for $25 each, 3 Heritage units with orange bags in very nice shape for $40 each, and a couple bojacked Tradition and classic III models for $25 each (negotiable). The more you buy the more you save.
-Some of the 5xx parts units remain as well but only one with a (rough tan) bag.
-He has some G-series and Classic shampooer units for $25 each, complete.
-Several turbo sanders for $10 each
-and lastly 80 or so motor units for Tradition to Heritage for next to nothing (will be scrapped soon)
