Todays finds and a question

[blackheart]

Trash week is going on here and like every year i have to go around pick up anything worthwhile and i found this Orange Dial-a-matic which is missing a rear wheel and the little hose going from the bag compartment to the nozzle, this Kirby Classic III belonged to my best friend's parents so i would like to restore it but upon getting it home i noticed that the metal on the headlight area is cracked...now, i have no idea WHAT they did to it. Is this piece replaceable or would i need to find a different machine?

The headlight cap

is totally replaceable.  Shoot a line to Bill (A007kirbyman).  He may have one or know where you can get one.  Also, this piece is the same on the Classic Omega.  Only difference is trim color.

Thank you Joe

That's great news to hear! it has memories attached to it so keeping it original as possible is aww i'm sure you know what i mean

It looks like the hose is there on the Dial A Matic in the picture?

I know exactly what you mean Devin

I try to do the same thing with the machines in the family memories branch of my collection.
