You'll never guess what came in this box!!!

They may have mixed it up, somewhat, because I have seen a lot of two piece plastic fans in Classic 3s. I've also seen one piece metal fans in the early Traditions. I've very often thought it funny to have a safety switch in the Tradition's headlight cover. I don't think Kirby thought it to be one of the greatest selling points of all time.

Calem,

In the case of the Classic III and the earliest Traditions, the Lexan fan would be a replacement. That is why you're seeing them there.

I seen a Classic 3 in so called " Perfect condition " still in its pristine tall box - attachments included, with not a speck of dust in its fan housing. Why, you could strain your eye until you went blind before finding a single blemish. I mean everything was perfect and folded, and Oh yes, it had a two piece grey plastic fan. Now it seems someone was being a sneak, and it makes one wonder how many so called " still perfect in the box " vintage vacuums out there which are really perfect after all. When you see it in the box, it should make you suspect. If its too good to be true, it usually is.
