Here's what I know of. Kirby no longer makes metal fans, yours would be replaced with a plastic one. Kirby did raised the prices for the rebuild just recently. It was $350 plus shipping but now it's $375 plus shipping and that's if you're not the original owner. I believe they will replace the motor and everything else other than the metal parts that can be polished up. If so, I think it will be a 1-CB-Legend II motor. I remember a while ago one of the members here sent their 500 series Kirby in for a rebuild and the motor got replaced with the 1-CB-Legend II motor. It's possible the D-50-1-CR motor has since been discontinued, I'm not completely sure. The replacement outer bag will be black so if you want to have the original bag for your 1-CR, throw in the Sanitronic bag on instead. And it's possible the wheels would be black as well  including the trim but I remember another member here sent in their 1-CB Omega if I recall correctly a while ago and the replacement wheels were brown like the original ones. Though maybe they don't have brown ones anymore.
