Does anyone know how much a Kirby 516 went for originally? My best guess is around 200 considering modern price and the inflation rate.

In 1965 a Sanitronic VII sold new for $278.00 and in 1968 a Dual Sanitronic 80 sold for $269.50 if that's any help.

Ray,

The Classic III was produced from 1976-79. You're probably talking about the Classic Omega, which was the Kirby that was sold in '74.

We had that Omega at St. John's.

I had to use it daily. I hated that cleaner. But, we had to do what we were told.

I'm not sure why I put Classic III. I guess when you get older you have to wait for all the marbles to fall into the proper holes.
