When I got the 517 for my birthday, it even came with an attachment set too, it was mixed colors of green (d80), tan (sanitronic/d50), and brown (1cr or 1cb), the hose attachment was brown too but 3 yrs ago I removed the hose end parts and added it to a long white Panasonic hose I found on the curb on my way home from school, but soon I'm planning on buying a new set of Kirby attachments, the current one for the avalir and a 12 ft stretch hose, both from eBay.

Congrats!! Love these!
I wanted one of these ever since I saw Bob Barker give them away in the very early 90's. I would watch The price is right every morning in 1990 while waiting for Mom to take me to kindergarten. My class was at noon and Price is right was on right before we would leave. I was glued to the TV to see this vacuum. I finally got one last year and it's like freaking NEW. Mine is dated 1989 on both the serial number and the time dial on the bottom.
