Looks like a 505. The bag would be a replacement from a 509. | ||

$20 is a steal, I'd be happy paying that if it were me for such an old vac... :) | ||

DEFINITELY not a 505; maybe a 508 or even a 509. 510..? VW | ||

Observe the belt lifter. The 508 had the red Background with white lettering. This Machine has a black belt lifter with red letters. Most likely a 505 or 4c. | ||

It's actually black and red. No silver like the 508 and up machines. | ||

I've got an idea, somebody buy the thing and read the ID plate on it, saves people arguing over it... :P | ||

HAHA David! Well put. It just so happens I will be buying this tomorrow morning so the mystery will then be solved, though I talked to the seller today and per that individual, it is a 512. So we shall see.... | ||

Interesting. The nozzle plug must be a replacement or I'm color blind. zooming in with my iPad I can read a blurry Kirby written in red on a black background. | ||

Yeah, I was suprised at how good the bag was too. The trim is excellent, not even gouged. Were black wheels and trim the original on this? | ||

Its all original. How awesome. Sorry for the frustration with the belt lifter color. Haha. I'm comparing both pictures right now and for some reason I still see a black belt lifter with red script. Better get my eyes checked. It does look fantastic. | ||

Ment to say I still see red on black with the first picture but quite clear the new pics are red with white. | ||

Brandon, get your ipad checked too, my 2003 Toshiba Portege M300's screen shows white text on red plastic in the first pic... :P | ||

Congrats on a great Kirby find! I love the bag. It looks like its in pretty good shape. Most are faded and look yellow. Yours still looks gray, so you lucked out in finding a good one. Chad | ||
