More vacs gone !
To repeat most vacs need to go out of my store. A scrap metal guy was here one hour after being called. Would any here even call within an hour of seeing what needs to go? I think Roy Clark once said - What a beautiful sight, smoke around the taillights, thank God and red truck they're gone.

Re: Reply #96
Jimmy,
The vacuum cleaner on the left in reply #95 is either a model S-250 or S-250-A (I'm unsure of the differences).
In case you're interested, here's the link to a YouTube video of the Model S-246.
Also, here's the link to VL thread 38104 that contains the 1950 users manual of the Model S-246:

Hey Jimmy
Here's the style eureka 1400 series I would like part doners for.
Btw any color will work as long as the hood and lens is the same shape as this 1.
Thanks.

Paul,
Thanks for the information.That style Eureka is one of the few I want to keep.
Damien,
Most Eurekas that are left are more deluxe with different hood but I will look after Kirby accessories GO and I sort other brands.

A great time with Jimmy in Elizabethton!
Dear all....I wanted to thank Jimmy for his hospitality and all the vacuums I got from him! There is a lot to see...so be ready to do some digging! For me, I got to find my favorite U7037 Hoover Commercial Uprights, Oreck canisters and old time Dirt Devil hand vacs. I wished I could have taken Kirby's, but hopefully next time. There are a lot of small head Kirby's as well as Kirby power drives, great Eureka F&G uprights (Easily 25 each) and tons more. If you have a chance, go down; it's a great time!

As much as I wanted to take a pilgrimage over there, being halfway across the country and working a stubborn job makes it very difficult.
By time I could go (like next year), everything would be gone. I would also feel compelled to fill up my truck without a place to put the stuff at home.
So Jimmy, since you mentioned you would ship, here is my vac parts Christmas list for projects I have that need completion:
All need to be as best quality as you may have (except for the old grey cloth bag).
The G5 stuff needs to be able to be cleaned up (I will do) and look almost new.
Let me know what you have and I will make it worth your time to look through your stock. I have liquidated a lot of vac parts and I know how time consuming it is.
Also I am not in a hurry, so take your time. We can talk later when you have a list of questions. I am willing to fill up a regular Kirby box.
Thank you...
G5 original hose (burgundy color ends)
G5 original cord (burgundy color)
G5 original nozzle bumper (burgundy color) (only if very good)
G5 zip brush (In box preferably) (burgundy color)
G5 turbo sander (In box preferably) (burgundy color)
G5 hard floor plate (this clips onto big floor nozzle, not G5 specific)
G5 owners manual book (service manual also if available)
G5 nozzle belt lifter decal (only if new)
Any old grey Kirby cloth bag with hanger top for 514 ('good usable' condition)
Grey or red square wide body emtor bottom for 514, good usable condition.
Classic III red bag ring (bag guard) (2)
Tradition blue emtor and bag assembly
Tradition blue cord
Heritage emtor and bag assy
Heritage II mini emtor and bag assy
505 style attachment set with box (less hose & couplers, which I have)
any NEW OEM motor bearings for new or old Kirbys?
Thank you!!

Thanks Jimmy, no rush.
And I meant to say attachments that will FIT on a 505's hose couplers, red/gray color.
My 505 is not stock - it has all red trim. The grey bag I seek will go on it to replace its brown one.

Paul,
Reply 106 serial number and bags,top to bottom --1940A,1489A,2087A, same --yes, no, no, yes torn at bottom. There is much literature in a box somewhere. Most of these should be easy to service/repair under the layer of dust. Other Eurekas were not ready for their close up.
