They're not that rare really, and they're not actually gold plated, they're anodized, meaning they have a form of dye applied to the metal to give it a gold colour, and then lacquered to prevent it corroding... :) | ||

Holy crap theres a Kirby ComVac on there too. What is that? I've never heard of that before. Price is steep, but probably worth it. | ||

The Golden Kirby Was given to Distributors/Dealers with the highest sales. This one is not a G6 BTW, it's a UG. | ||

More ComVac CVD1600 Tidbits
On the back of the motor where the motor switch and female cord attachment would be on the consumer models, there is a height chart which determines the proper position of the adjuster to match the carpet type.
1, 2 - indoor/outdoor (bare floor) 3, 4 - plush/sculptured (short pile) 5, 6 - short shag (medium pile) 7, 8 - shag (deep pile) The label also proclaims that if the cleaner is hard to push on setting #1, adjust the screw under the ratchet pedal. On top of this label is the old-style warning decal used on the Classic Omega and Classic III, except the word WARNING is not bolded. ~Ben

Gold kirbys are not that rare. Its harder to find 505 era machines than them. I have seen more gold kirbys than original early 500 machines. Comvacs are a little more unusual in my mind. There was the comvac 2300 and 2800 too. | ||
