I thought I'd share some pictures of the Kirby Classic Omega that I'm restoring. So far, it's been a restoration of sweat and tears, but should be worth it in the end. I have one picture of the condition of the Kirby while I pulled a fluffball that I pulled out with my bare hands.): But that picture is somewhere where I don't know. The Kirby was made in 1974, and has ( what I think is the original) metal fan. But I can't currently can't clean it and the motor because of stuck screws and the emtor ( which I have not gotten the DW40 to get it off yet). So, without further ado, the Kirby!

This being a 1974 build, the speed switch seen here is obviously the earlier type since I notice it is rounded at the lower right corner and also isn't as detailed where the Kirby logo is.
In early 1975, they changed the design so that particular corner was squared off like the rest of the switch, and more detail was added ~Ben | ||
