finding original bags for the older kirby's is kinda hard. unless you get one from a vac someone is parting out where the bag is intact, or buy a machine with it that's restored, its not easy to find manufacterer original bags for anything older the the classic III without some considerable effort and luck. hope this helps.
ebay and craigslist along with storage unit sales are you best bet for this. |

I'd agree with going for one of the current-range Black bags, might not look "original", but you have a blank canvas to make it look like it could have been... :) |

On ebay i see older bags sometimes with the emptor still attached. This would be the best way to go rather then trying to stretch the old bag and possibly break something. |
