just wanted to start off by saying hello to everyone. i'm fairly new to collecting and restoring vacuums and i absolutly love it! was wondering if anyone knew where i could obtain a f&g conversion. i know what people say about the conversion being garbage but i just want to see how it works first hand.

The have a ge conversion in blue and one in brown that should fit the kirby if you take the emptor off. Here is a picture below.

F&G bag converison

Try eBay or your local vac store. The conversions aren’t total garbage; however they do restrict airflow quite a bit. You would be better off finding a replacement bag that doesn’t leak dust. If you convent to the F&G setup, save the emptor! The F&G setup will ruin the appearance of your Kirby. If you care about your Kirby’s looks.

I did try the F&G conversion and found the outer bag to be small. The inner F&G bag needed more room to expand. The restrictive pathway also doesn’t help.

I have a particular F&G conversion that came with a Kirby classic III that I just bought and plan to completely refurbish. I have no use for the F&G conversion bag assembly. I plan to find and use the original bag assembly. I can take some pictures and you can make me a offer and we can go from there. Thanks'.
