Mini Restoration Well, I own a few vintage appliances and frankly this one had a little too much “patina” so I was interested in getting it back to looking like it did in the 40s. So, here is a picture of the messy process I used anyway.

Paint Room Here is another picture, it is just about ready to put back together. While I had it apart I did attempt to put a little lubrication in that lower bearing per another helpful thread on this site. Really helpful the archives and knowledge on the site.

Together and working Hi, Yes I would call that bakelite Here is the finished product. Actually from the distance one normally is from a vacuum it basically does look like new. I had to replace that plastic window in the front too. It works great

This picture isn’t staged, my little son loves moving this Kirby around. I wouldn’t say we can rely on him doing this chore though. Thanks for looking. - Brian

hmmm I do believe I see a new Vacuumlander in the making, there. Pray tell, what range is that peeking over your electric broom? I loves me a 40 inch range. | ||

Nice job on both! Which thrift shop(s) did you find them at? There's a Salvation Army in downtown Renton, and the Goodwill and St.Vincents in the Highlands, those are the only ones I know of around here. | ||
