I'm disappointed that I was unable to attend this year's convention, especially since it is in Cleveland. Kirby is my favorite vintage and contemporary brand!
But since I'm not there, I spent the day finishing up a Classic III that I've been working on. I tore it completely apart and polished the castings. It also has new bearings, motor brushes, nozzle bumper, and brush roll. In fact, the brush roll is NOS with sleeve bearings that I got from Bill Edstrom. The bag was in great shape, so all it needed was a good cleaning.
It's been over three years since I fully serviced a Kirby. This one isn't my best work with polishing. But I'll take it for now!

Looks gorgeous! The Classic III is one of my favorite vacuums (along with the 560). So sharp with the red. You did a fantastic job. |
