Can some one possible tell me when Kirby started officiolly selling in South Africa? This is for some reason a closly guarded secret by Kirby But I have heard it was in the later seventies.
I have seen a few 508's and I also own a 512 but it seems or I was old that Kirby only started here in the late 70's. I have tried to buy every 508 I see that turns up for sale , have missed 2 and there was a 505 a few years back in lovely condition but the owner wanted $ 1000.00 (Insane)
If Kirby only started here in the late seventies I also wonder who was distributing Kirby's here before that unofficioally.
Check out the Rating plate on my latest 508, see how they have stamped 230v over the 110 v Its also been stamped on the casing , My 512 is the same if slightly better done.
