I managed to get one of these from the fabulous Tania Voight. Thank you Tania!! This Tradition will not be used and will remain in the box. I truly believe that every vacuum collector should have at least one vacuum brand new in the box.
It is my all time favorite Kirbys, because it supported me well the first year of college at Western Illinois University-Macomb.
Sure beat washing dishes at Sambo's.
I love getting NIB machines, however they will not remain NIB, I won't own a vacuum that I can't use. I do baby them and don't use them heavily like I would a regular vacuum. There's something so fun about being the first user of an old NIB vacuum!
Where are pics of your new in box Kirbys? It's been like a year since you started your infamous thread of your extensive collection. When are all of those new in box Kirbys going to surface on here?
