Wanted: Kirby 500505G 13" Brushroll

[vaclab]

I have a D80 with the single row brushroll and want to see how the dual row brushroll would perform. The only issue is, everyone seems to be out of them currently.

I have found a good price on one at Hesco:
https://www.hescoinc.com/kirby-brush-roll-heritage-1hdd80-small-head-genuine-500505
BUT, it is on backorder.

Anyone know where to get one these?

Bill,

You might also be able to get one of these from another person named Bill (in this case, A007KirbyMan).

the four row 13" kirby brushrolls have been NLA for 6 years, unless you find a vacuum shop or supplier with them stashed somewhere, you will NOT find them except old stock.

also, when essco or hesco says its on backorder, particularly in regards to old parts like this, thats their way of saying discontinued. its impossible for them to get new stock of that brushroll.

I Knew They Were Discontinued

So I'll see if Bill (A007KirbyMan) or anyone else has any to sell.

bill edstrom usually has some and the 18" brushrolls for the janitronic/supersweeps too. he cleans out other vac shops old parts because he carters mostly to collectors and likes to have surplus of old stock hard to find parts.

When I wrote him months ago

He had one...think it was pricey... like $39 plus shipping or similar

Hey

It may seen steep but I been on sites that you order and later refund you for nla. No longer available. It was 36 but sale made 26 you pay for shipping. So it's not much more than a vacuum website charges that actually doesn't even have. I have 5 maybe 6 idk I have alot of alot of 505-tradidion parts etc. I am using all the ones I have too. But he isn't greedy. He at least has them and I have not seen anyone else sale them. Bill if you read this I would love a free one for referral. Lol not kidding but anyways.
