From the pic it looks like your "sani-emptor" is intact, just missing the cloth bag that would fasten over that metal flange. The bag on ebay would be complete, as there is elastic in the neck of it that fastens on the metal opening. However, there is a vinyl trim piece that would cover up the bags connection to the metal opening. Its an aesthetic piece, and wouldnt affect the machines operation. Nice score on that, I have a sanitronic 50 that I love!

Jason:
Considering you are going to spend I would guess at least $40-$50 dollars for a bag in good used condition, a word to the wise: DON'T DO IT!!!!! Instead, be smart & give your local Kirby Distributor a call. They make a black replacement cloth dump bag for Kirby models 505 to Classic III, instead of making specific bags for each model, because of the age they are now. The bags that are made now will filter MUCH better than the older Kirby bags will, they are made with better fabrics & materials now. And the best part is, it won't cost much more than what you will spend on Ebay for a used bag. Another option you have is to upgrade to a disposable bag setup. You would do this by buying a Heritage II outer bag, Heritage II Mini-Emtor, Heritage II filltube, G4 bag holder, a new bag chain to connect to the handle, & a new vinyl top for the outer bag. This would allow you to use Heritage II plain paper bags, G4 Micron Magic bags, G6 paper HEPA bags, or the Sentria HEPA Cloth bags, as well as generic Kirby Generation paper bags by various suppliers. Good luck, & Happy Vacuuming with your new-to-you Kirby. Rob |

This is great find. They are getting more rare than the Sanitronic 50. Try to find matching bag. Light bulb at Kirby dealer nearest you or Kirby Needs.com. |
