I'm curious about the bag. It looks close to the factory bag except for the logos. I've seen a few on Ebay with the same bag. | ||

Don't part it out! Early Kirby 500s are hard to come by! | ||

I think the green bag is real Kirby, I think they just made a conversion kit so it could have a paper bag inside. HEPA? Below is the other one I got for parts, but I'm going to polish this one up as well:

BTW, I don't like the belt lifter for this one, would like to find the original Red lifter... | ||

121170483047 121170482136 121170481183 Those are ebay item numbers for bags. That guy you bought the second one from, I bought and returned it as the handle spring assembly was broken, the vacuum safety switch was broken, etc - so it was good for parts but the idiot selling it misrepresented it completely in his listing, so I hope you never got scewed over on it as far as the costs. | ||

 None of the bags in the photos above are original Kirby bags. They're all bojack vac-shop parts. If they were original Kirby bags, the Kirby name would spelled out instead of just a "K." Also, the diamond shape around the "K" is not original Kirby -- it was always circles or ovals. The sunburst belt lifter in the second Kirby is beautiful. It was made for the 560 and 561. The same design was used for the 562 and Sanitronic, with the Kirby logo in tan and brown, then the design was totally changed for the Dual 50.
