All done and ready to go! Definate improvment over how I found it. New bearings, brushes and full clean including bag. Hand polished so it is not showroom but decent enough for me!

Outstanding!  I love my Classic Omegas.  They "feel" powerful!  I highly recommend the four row brush roll too.  It makes the Omega much easier to push and turns into a Cleaning Beast on Steroids!  What did you end up doing with the armature fan?

I can't wait until my classic 3 looks that good. It still needs a brushroll belt.

Bill, I ended up using the teflon tape. Worked great! I did however order some of those tolerance rings if/when I should encounter such an event again!

Thanks for your help!

Derek,

I think you also kept the original cord on this, too (1st pic shows it)?

In before pic wouldn't it have been easier to throw Kirby down basement stair and use the Model G?--Just kidding!--'After' looks GREAT.Kirby & G would make a classic tank/upright pair for what looks like a classic house.Is that an original heat register?What style & age house?What vac gets restored next?

Ben: Yes, I did keep the original cord. It was in good shape and cleaned up nicely.

Rugsucker: It is a craftsman style built in 1918. Slowly refinishing woodwork etc.
The next vac to be finished will be the 1C I picked up a month or so ago...
