I've been meaning to make videos for awhile and now that I have a digital camera, I have now achieved the goal of doing so.
Both of these are of my 1977 Kirby Classic III, serial no. B850414. I have had my eyes on this cleaner since I was six years old. Back then, it belonged to my dad's parents. They actually got it from the original owner in Idaho, who'd originally bought out sometime late in 1977. I first received this machine in August 1998. Video #1 (with nozzle): Video #2 (with hose): (please note that the sound of the machine may indicate the motor bearings going out on this, due to age) My parents also had a Classic III, but my mom hated it. She had no interest in this cleaner whatsoever, but my dad won out and we were stuck with this machine for the next 16 years. That one was serial no. D663143, which my dad bought on November 7, 1978. If my mom kept her Hoover Slimline she had prior to this Kirby, my interest in the Kirby brand may or may not have been realized. ~Ben |
