Well it's a shame you have to leave your baby's behind lol Sean! Also have you hooked the comvac up to the mains to see if it runs yet?
Something I think is incredibly rare...

Well, I haven't hooked up a cord yet so I do not know if it runs. Honestly, I haven't had a lot of time to do anything with it. I was able to find a bag clip off of something or other to hold that bagger closed but other than that, I haven't had time to even really clean it up, much less replace that cord. From my experience with Kirby's, though, I totally believe the motor to work as I've never ever seen a Kirby that didn't work, and I've personally owned hundreds and I've never had a new one. You know, I just shipped out a Simplicity Synergy and a Sanitaire Precision and I just finished listing a Rainbow E2 and now I have nothing to do but watch a movie and drink some wine. Maybe I'll go through the ComVac tonight.

I have a question.
Why Kirby make commercial vacs the head nozzle not removable?
Why Kirby make commercial vacs the head nozzle not removable?
Non removable floor head
Think Kirby did this on their commercial vacuums for durability,ease of use,and reliable-no safety switch for the floor head.The Kirby Comvacs weren't designed to be used with tools-and note no Mini or Sani Emptor.The Comvacs were designed to just clean floors and carpets,nothing else,and do it well.

I have that same model and love it. It's very heavy but very cool!!
I bought mine from a Kirby dealer in Oklahoma about 10 years ago. It was a trade in and I got her for $15.00 but sadly it's missing the belt cap.

This would date this and some other vacs to the Bicentenial of 1976.As seller states there was also a green version.

I'm originally from Fort Wayne, too!
Hi lunchboxsean!
I'm originally from Fort Wayne, too! I've since moved around a lot (London, England 2004-2007, then San Francisco 2007-2012, and now Calgary, Canada since Sept. 2012).
My mom had a Kirby Tradition for about 20 years (from when she bought it new through 1998).
You mentioned you have a Tradition? If so, what shape is it in? Does it come by itself, or does it have the tools with it? I would love to have it if you need to leave it behind.
