Great find Tyson! You will love it! The missing bumper should be easy enough to find. Kirby's are the best. |

A very nice find, well done :)
You can re-grease the bearings if you take them out. Clean the old grease out first, then re-pack them with high temperature grease. Hard to tell how original it is from that picture, the wheels and cord look to have been changed? Can you post up more pictures of it for us to see please? :) |

Thanks for the extra pics Tyson.
Looks in pretty good shape, it should clean up very well :) The rug nozzle is from a 514/515, should have a grey bumper, and it looks to have the full length rug plate? The cord looks like its from a later Kirby, grey with red ends, as are the wheels. $10 though! bargain! Good luck with it and keep us up to date of your progress :) I like the replacement bag on your DS50, it really suits it. |
