Tradition Terrificness...

[super-sweeper]

 <span style="font-family: terminal,monaco;">Good morning, Fellow VL members!</span>


 


<span style="font-family: terminal,monaco;">As you may recall, I've recently purchased a 1979 Kirby Tradition, and have been in the process of restoring it.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: terminal,monaco;">So far, So good. I've been attempting to polish it out to a glorious "like-new" shine, with first the Handi-Butler, and then a drill-powered buffing wheel. </span>


<span style="font-family: terminal,monaco;">While it is (Slowly) coming along, the 30 Years of tarnish embedded on this machine does not seem to come off easily, although the chrome underneath will still attempt a shine.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: terminal,monaco;">any tips as to how the tarnish can be easily removed?</span>


 


<span style="font-family: terminal,monaco;">I'll be upgrading the bagging system as well, with this cleaner being from December 1979, it still has the poorly designed bagging system, which heavily limits the airflow and cleaning efficiency.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: terminal,monaco;">Untill then, Here's a before picture:</span>
