Ben,I think you mean the Home Renovator group, I don't know why you would renovate rugs with the Roll-O-Waxer!

I have multiples of most of what you are seeking. email me if you are interested. the photo below is just a portion of the Kirby section.

Parts lists, or the vacs themselves?

[kirbee]

either one or both. I will sell units or parts. I have lots of rug renovators and attachment kits. The dual 50's and 80's I may not have the attachment boxes but I do have the individual attachments. I have a few of the roll a waxers for either classic or omega. Some handi butlers. Hoses I have some but a lot are stiff or have cracks. I have a new motor case for the classic III. new bumpers for CH or headlights. NOS tradition long zip cloth bags. I also have lots of various award plaques and gifts from Kirby co. a set of playing cards from the sanitronic era in a case with the factory on the backs of the cards. (A few cards may be missing.)
Lots to choose from

If I meant to say stuff like vintage Kirby service manuals, would you happen to have any of those? I have a Dual Sanitronic 80 and a Classic III and I would love to have the proper (vintage) service manuals applicable to those models. I uploaded two example pictures of what a Kirby service manual would look like.

May I ask if these service manuals are available in your collection?
Kirby Classic Omega - part no. 773673
Kirby Classic III - part no. 773676
Kirby Tradition - part no. 773679
Kirby Heritage - part no. 773681, 773683

I do have service manuals but am not ready to let go of them yet. Sentimental. I will get you details on the the Rug Reno's, waxers, and handi butlers.
I know I have a couple roll-o-waxers for the classic or omega. I have a big box full of Handiwaxer heads of assorted models. The miracle heads I have quite a few as well just have to look at what ones are there. I have the a few handi butler for classics, omegas, classic III for sure and perhaps others, or parts of the others anyway. I have hair clippers (less some parts) and turbo sanders for the heritage. I have several tradition plastic attachment boxes, and attachment sets for classicIII classic, omega, heritage, hertage II generation 3 few legand. and lots of single attachments for various models.
I will try to get you specifics soon.

 

[kirbee]

you asked about Miracle heads and waxers. how about handibutlers? or attachment sets? I have complete sets as well as crates of individual attachments. I would be happy to part with some of these. email me and we can discuss pricing. Or make me an offer on what you are interested in. I have quite a few reno groups as well.
See the pictures below of a smattering if what have.

Hi there. I can see you have a LOT of Kirby uprights. Just wondering, do you have any Royal Metal uprights from the 1980's or 1990's for sale? I am looking to buy one. I am looking for a model that's Made in the USA, with the 6 or 7 amp motor, has the oiling port in the back, & has a outer cloth bag that uses the Royal B bags. I would also prefer that it has the shake-out bag that can also use the B bag, & that it has the screw-type height adjustment, but I could live with the 5 position height adjustment & zipper bag if need be. If you have any you would be willing to part with, please reply here with some photos & your asking price. Thanks in advance....

Rob,
yes I have several old royals, uprights and canisters. I don't know what condition some are in. Are you wanting the blue or maroon trimmed units? I would be happy to check some out for you in the next couple days if that is all right. I will post some pictures of the decent ones. ok?

 

[kirbylux77]

Kirbee, color doesn't really matter to me. I am wanting an upright, not a canister, as I already have a Electrolux canister as a daily driver. Also, I am more interested in the condition of the vacuum itself. I am ONLY looking for models back from the 1980's or 1990's that are American made, have the 6 or 7 amp motor, & that have the oiling port. If it's from the mid 1990's or later that says it's American made, but does not have the oiling port, I would not be interested as those models I believe used Chinese motors, & I have absolutely NO interest in buying a Chinese-made Royal. If you could please post pictures of what you have, that would be good & we could take it from there.

Thanks, Rob

"kirbee,"

I wanted to say this ad was concerning finding vintage documentation which includes motor repair specific from the Dual Sanitronic 50 through the Tradition 3CB. While I might like to have the parts themselves, I would like to honestly say those weren't the intention of my post here.

~Ben

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

kirbee,

But if I could ask you anything about parts, I would like to ask: would you happen to have any NOS (new old stock) #500505 double-bristle brush rolls (13" long)?

~Ben

 

[kirbee]

My apologies for misunderstanding the post. No I do not have the double row 13", however, I do have 1 original NOS brushroll part#1482. with the U shaped ends.

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

"kirbee,"

I also wonder if you could somehow make copies of any vintage (period-specific) Kirby documentation that you have which include (but is not limited to) motor repair procedures specific from the D50 through the Tradition?

If you can do that, please send these copies to:
BENJAMIN EDGE
14113 S.E. LAURIE CT.
MILWAUKIE, OR 97267

Thank you,



Ben
