Those Kirbys are BEAUTIFUL! The only Kirby I have (aside from one which I will be trading soon with another member...) is a Heritage II Legend (complete with original documentation) purchased in April 1988. The machine itself is in OK condition (aside from a scraping belt lifter and some deep scratches in the nozzle) but works great and is one of the smoothest-running machines I've used and pretty quiet. The other accessories are just MINT. One of these days, I'll have to send the machine in for a rebuild.
My favorite Kirby machines, however, have to be the R and C-series, with the rounded nozzle and the bulbous headlight housing. I just wish they were more common. The 512-and-earlier models are also beautiful machines as well.
James--your Scott & Fetzer Sanitation System is just stunning. I'm wondering, does it have a handle switch? I didn't notice the familiar side-mounted toggleswitch in your other pictures. Can't say I've ever seen one like that before!
