Justin & SuperVac...

Hello Justin.

Thanks for posting the photo of your SuperVac. She L@@Ks pretty nice. Much more so with a Kirby bag arrangement, than a F&G system. (mho)



It was good talkin' with you the other day. When I may be of assistance again with your Kirby wants & needs, let me know.

I appreciate being to be able to help save you guys & gals on your Kirby items; for both restorations & everyday consumables usage.


Cheers & hagwknd all,

Bill

18" Brush Roll (1979 Style)

This is what the Super-Sweep's brush roll had looked like around 1979. Note the newer-style plastic thread guards... those first appeared on the Classic Omega's brush roll circa 1975 (and thus, the Super-Sweep's - when it was still wearing the "St. Patrick's Day" color scheme).

This picture is credited to the late Austin Wilder.
