The Kirby that never was, but should have been.

This is a picture of my Kirby 514 with a very close replica of the 513 and 514 bag. The belt lifter seen here wasn't used until the 516...Why?? It took Kirby 4 years to change the logo on the belt lifter to match the logo on the bag.
Just another odd thing that Kirby did, that I never understood. As you can see this is a great looking Kirby that never was, but should have been.

This Kirby is in my living room with one of my Kirby lamp assemblies on it. Picture #2 is of my 513 with an original bag and belt lifter. The 513, 514, and 515 had the new logo on their bag with the old logo on the belt lifter.

Hmm

You think the prongs on the power nozzle were 505-515?
It does look better than stock.
