Jack & Kirby info, parts & supplies...

Hello Jack.


If you can get them for the price Rob mentioned above, that would be great; as they are giving them away. )

The office must have a surplus, or they're working off old/obsolete prices.


Genuine Kirby is only: $10.90 + s/h. [rear bearing]

Genuine Kirby is only: $9.18 + s/h. [front bearing]



If I may be of assistance with your Kirby wants & needs, let me know.


Cheers & hagn/d all,

Bill

You did a beautiful job! It requires a lot of hard to restore a Kirby! Congratulations!

Jack, thank you... The bearings for the Omega are different from the ones the D50 uses.
Your D50 uses older style bearings, Kirby # 1160 for front, 1155 for the rear. These fit models from 505 to S7. Kirbyneeds has them for about $12 each.

Eurekastar, thanks for the complement! Each of my restos entail about 24 man hours, but none of these machines ever saw more than new belts or motor brushes over the past 20 years!
