Where did you find it and what did the seller nick you for it? The vac shop I frequent has a G series that works excellent but needs polishing and loving for $135. Sometimes it's tempting. |

Congratulations on a great deal on a great vacuum. The Heritage II Legend is the penultimate pre G3 Kirby and as good a carpet machine as you'll ever find. |

$40 is a darn good for a good running vac from nearly any manufacturer. For a high end, four figures new, vac like a Kirby it's almost grand theft. Well bought. Very well bought. |

I get the feeling somebody in that vacuum shop likes you, which is a good thing. |

You could order and install a new White Amodel fan for your Heritage and you will not need to worry about any large items you may pick up while vacuuming. The new Amodel fans are almost indestructable compared to the gray Lexan fan that came from the factory with your Heritage.
The fan is fairly easy to replace.

I tore the kirby all the way down to polish it and put it back together to find that the safety switch wouldn't engage and let the kirby with nozzle installed, turn on. After some playing with the switch I deactivated it and it should work for the time being. If any has any tip n tricks for the safety switch they will be appreciated. Pictures of the polished kirby down below.=)
